MediPeds Extra wide non-binding crew socks with cushion

Knitted on a wider last for the morning when a sock goes on over the toes and then stops. The extra yarn is in the leg and the cuff, not in the foot: the foot stays the standard width for whichever of the three shoe-size ranges you pick, up to shoe 12-15. Everything else is the standard build — non-binding top, flat toe seam, padded sole, white or black.

Buy this rather than a larger shoe size. A bigger size gives you a longer sock and a cuff no wider than the one that already stopped, which is the most common wasted order in this category. The honest trade is that a wider cuff has less to hold on to and travels down more readily than a narrow one, and the padded sole is what pushes back against that from inside the shoe.

One of 2 on the extra wide socks shelf in the MediPeds shelves. It also answers to diabetic socks, crew socks, extra wide socks. If you want to know how often the figures on this page are refreshed, that is set out on how we update the catalogue.

Nothing on this site is medical advice. A sock is a sock: a non-binding top and a smooth toe seam are ways of knitting a cuff and a seam, not a treatment, and nothing here diagnoses, prevents or relieves anything. If your feet have lost feeling, if a sore is not healing, or if a doctor has asked you to wear a fitted compression stocking, that conversation belongs with them and not with a catalogue.
