These suggestions are all good.....but... what if you are like me???
I have very bad circulation and am prone to leg ulcers...( got two on the go right now, right PITA they are!)
for me, the best socks are like the 'diabetics' socks...very loose top, absoluteley NO elastic!
But they don't come in nice thick comfy wool for wearing with size 14 Army boots!!!!
Anyone any ideas apart from me learning to knit/crochet my own???
sorry if this is a hijack of thread......not meant to be, just a sort of 'by the way'.......
