Edit: 1/15/2019: I've edited this review multiple times over the years. These socks are obviously popular with more people than just diabetics. If you have wide feet or overall big feet, these socks and their past "extra give" they have were an excellent choice as your daily sock. This is the part we've all noticed: The blue stitch on the toes has turned into a gray/brown stitch. The gray/brown stitch pairs are not as wide, not as long and don't have as much give in them. I even tried ordering some from Walmart's website since they too show the blue stitch on the toes. Those came right before Christmas 2018 and were gray/brown. I decided to order these newest ones from Amazon because the description and sizes have changed. According to my order and this product's page, I ordered the Men's size 12-15. Here are four shoes I currently wear and their sizes: Brooks Ghost Goretex size 12, Brooks Bedlam size 11.5, New Balance 990v4 size 11 4E, New Balance 1080v8 size 11 2E. That puts me in an uncomfortable position since I'm just below the 12-15 group and my feet are wide. But because all of the recent Medipeds have been to small, I thought the 12-15 would fix that problem. They arrived on 1/14/2019. I want to repeat this part ... the order says, "Men's, shoe size 12-15". The ones that came have the brown/gray stitch instead of the blue and the packaging says, "Unisex, shoe size 7-12." This is obviously wrong and the unisex part bothers me more than the wrong size being sent. As gray/brown would be a unisex color. The new ones don't fit any better than the previous gray/brown stitch socks and even worse, they are longer by about an inch than the previous gray/brown ones I received. They are not wider at all. Yet another return of these once great socks. I did test the unisex part out. My wife wears a 9 in women's shoes and these socks fit her very well. Think about that. I wear an 11-12 with some requiring extra wide widths in men's and they fit a women's size 9. Hopefully, Medipeds will realize unisex socks aren't a good idea, especially from the male side of it. I'm now going to look around and see if I can't find a different brand that makes a good, stretchy sock that doesn't bind and fits the bigger end of foot sizes. I lowered the score to 3 stars from 4, they were originally a 5. _______________________ Edit: 11/14/2018: These are my favorite socks despite not being a diabetic. I like the non-binding of them and what I would call a looseness that doesn't bunch up. I ordered a new 8 pack two weeks ago. I probably have 16 pairs of them before ordering this pack. This pack comes and I instantly noticed something was different. The blue medipeds stitch on the toe is now tan. Sounds petty but everybody in my family wears black socks. Mine were easy to keep separate because of the blue lettering. Then, I put them on. They're still comfortable but they're not as loose feeling. I'm taking a star off my original review which you can read below the line. My shoe size is New Balance 11 2E or 11.5 in any other brand. I'll start by saying I'm not a diabetic, but I've had numerous leg injuries, work on my feet quite a bit and I've had feet problems similar to diabetics. Most socks like to leave their band-print on my ankle. As the weather gets colder, and especially this year, since we're going to be working up in the Smoky Mountains after the forest fires, I knew I needed to get some fairly warm socks that don't cut my circulation off. I own quite a few different pairs of these types of socks. Probably 10 pairs of the Dr. Scholl's Diabetic Quarter Socks Four or five pairs of the Gold Toe SoleUtion Quarter Socks Four pairs of Gold Toe Fairway Tab Quarter Socks The Dr. Scholl's were my favorites for a year or so, but they've lost their shape and they slide up and down on my feet. The Gold Toe SoleUtion are very good, but if you've shopped for them, you know how hard they can be to find. The Gold Toe Fairway Tab is also a good option. The advantage to it is it has a pull tab on the back of the sock (back of ankle), which stops the elastic from binding into your leg, but ... A few months ago, my wife and I went on a weekend vacation and I, like most men, forgot my socks. I found a two-pack of these MediPEDS at a drugstore and couldn't believe how good they felt. They have more all-around cushion than those listed above, the SoleUtion has a better cushioned sole, but not up around the ankles. Admittedly, I paid around fifteen dollars for the two pairs at the drugstore. So, like most of you, I was going through my family's Christmas list and suddenly saw these, 8 pairs for twenty dollars. I ordered them while purging my cart of everyone's Christmas gifts and sending those to the "save for later" area. They're really good socks, very comfortable and more importantly at this time of the year, they are easily the warmest of the ones I've listed above. We're going to be at 26 high today, on a mountain, with 20-30 miles per hour winds. I'll love them even more after today is over. Oh and I marked "Fit as expected" since I already have two pairs. I might would lean towards "Somewhat large", which is what I needed. I don't think it's enough to change the size you order unless you're right on the borderline of the size chart. I see it more as more room for my foot to move around.
