I bought men’s socks just yo have a different style than the Wide Open socks that are already in my sock drawer. I’ve found both pairs to be tight enough that I have an indentation above my ankle after a few hours. I can’t recall that occurring with the other batch of WO socks I purchased last year. Yes, there is plenty of stretch, but I’m hoping the cuff will loosen after a few wears.
The banding along the top of the sock is narrow and leaves a mark. Not as deep a mark as the Smartwool socks I have in a similar height, but I don’t have this issue with the other styles of WO socks I already
Bought for a loose fit during shoulder rehab, so pleased with it it is now part of the regular mix along with Darned Tough.
