Bought these socks for my dad who always has trouble with socks that are too tight for him. I ordered these socks hoping that this will relieve his discomfort. When the socks arrived, I immediately gave them to my dad and he loves them!! He was so enamored with the socks that I decided to try them myself. Guess What! I love them too. The seams are non-binding, soft, it also doesn't slip down my legs without having to compress the thighs. I understand that the socks are made for diabetic individuals, but that does not mean that ordinary people wouldn't like these socks. Great price too. Try them and you will not be disappointed!
