Tap Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 (edited) DD is struggling with the comfort level of her socks. She is now in a woman's size 10 shoe and has wide feet. I used to buy her FILA socks because they tended to be a bit stretchier in the width, while still having a good elastic around the ankle so they didn't fall down into her shoe. But.....they are starting to fall down now too, because her feet are so long, that they are pulling the back down. She is built so her ankle isn't really much narrower than her foot. She likes the style that just fit the outline of an athletic shoe (not a lower cut style like converse socks). I can't find much in larger sizes than the traditional 6-9 in the stores I have looked in. The only ones I found in larger size was Hanes but they were not very nice quality. Kind of fuzz-ball feeling on the inside and had rough toe stitching. I will probably order online, hence the desire for a product recommendation vs just ordering random products. She likes no-show styles because she has sensitivities and the ones with a bit of ankle ribbing, bother her. I looked at men's products too, but I would really rather find something with some girly colors. She is 10 and likes girly things. Any suggestions?

itsheresomewhere Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 (edited) I use men's socks or Nike. Nike has large sizes and colors galore. Even the men's Nike socks have very color and combo you would want. Check JCPenney and Kohls for sales on them. They do make a women's version but when I needed it, it was out of stock. DS actually got me hooked on them as they are his favorite socks for his sensory issues.I haven't bought these yet but these were recommended asics shoes make no show socks in large sizes. Amazon sells them.Do not buy the champion brand women's socks. They might say they are for sizes up to 12 but it was like a girdle for my feet. I gave them to my DD who wears a 8.5-9 and they barely fit. Edited March 23, 2017 by itsheresomewhere 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alisoncooks Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 I recently bought some socks on Amazon: "ASICS Intensity Single Tab Socks (3-Pack)" I bought the Mediums - I wear a 9 shoe or 9.5 in some brands. These socks are just a bit too big for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpie Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 I buy men's socks but I'm old. :) They are far more comfortable than any female sock on my size 10 "flippers". :lol: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanaqui Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 I also buy men's socks. LOL, I once had a fight with a sales clerk about it! "Oh, but you should buy women's socks!" "They don't fit." "I'm sure we can find you something...!" "Lady, you can't. And the men's socks are identical to the women's socks except for the sizing." "But let me just check, you shouldn't wear men's socks!" What did she imagine would happen!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps, she thought you would sprout very hairy toes from mens socks :lol: ? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KatieJ Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Lane Bryant, the avenue, Catherine's, etc, have socks that run larger. I have a similar size foot as your daughter and they are too long on me. Lane Bryant has some really cute ones online right now, can't find the size, but a little research says they are 9.5 - 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilltopmom Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 I wear an 11 & have to wear men's socks for athletic socks. I have seen ladies larger size socks somewhere though, just blanking... You need the extended size ones,nnot regular "one size" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reefgazer Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 LL Bean. If you don't like home or they wear out, they will issue a refund on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zinnia Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 I wear an 11. I have some Polo socks (I know! how cheesy!) that fit amazingly well. I got them at a second tier department store. Either Belk's or Kohl's probably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
