As a diabetic looking for relief from edema rings about my thick calf muscles from binding athletic socks, I decided to compare these less expensive (12 for $25.00) American made, Physicians' Choice diabetic socks with those made in Pakistan by MedPeds (about $5.00 per pair). I just noticed that the 12-pack now sells for about $55.00; however, that is still less expensive per pair than the MedPeds brand.

While the top of the sock bands do leave a slight mark above my ankles it is nothing like the deep rings left by non-diabetic socks and appears to be about the same quality as MediPeds diabetic socks.

I will update this review if I find them less durable. These comfortable stockings are 80 percent cotton and 20% nylon.  They keep my feet dry, have cushion soles and a no-binding loose fit top, but do not sag.

At less than $2.00 a pair and made in America, I will buy more of these in the future if they wear as well as MedPeds products.

Enjoy!
