I purchased these for my own size 8 feet that have neuralgia pain that keeps me awake at night. This is the reason I chose THESE in size 9 -11, a BIGGER SIZE supposedly that would not create add'l pressure. WRONG! These socks were SO SMALL could not even start to put them on my foot! I TOOK EXTRA PAINS to search out the bigger size as ADVERTISED, but a terrible disappointment!
