IWhat about those people who have swollen ankles? Are they wide enough in a large or extra large so they won't bind?

These socks are extra stretchy. I wear a size 9.5 shoe and bought the large sock. I have plenty of room to go. After standing on my feet for a 12 hour shift, my ankles have a tendency to swell, and I still have plenty of room in them!

They are not tight by any means, nor do they ride down into my shoes.They are very comfortable. However, I would guess that if most socks are tight for you, these will be as well.

They are pretty stretchy and still super soft so I think they'd be worth a try!

I would guess they would be wide enough as the fabric is quite stretchy. They are not a tight fitting sock.

It absolutely is--mine are about a size 8, no problem covering past my ankles. Bigger feet would fit just fine, too.

Yes, if you don't mind the little thumb tab that extends up from the basic wrap. I tried them on my ankles and they were long enough to attach securely. (Of course, I have rather thin ankles.) Hope this helps

a large. Otherwise you'll find your toes may hang off the edge if you go smaller. However, it's more about the fit of the straps around the ankle. If the ankle straps are too loose (because the plastic part is sized bigger than your ankle) it will be easy for your foot to slide around and not be pressed into position.

You should be able to wrap them tightly. I have fairly thin ankles and they work well for me.

From memory I'd say a good 4-6 inches. The ones I purchased get washed and dried every day and they still look good. Plenty of stretch, very comfortable for swollen feet, ankles, and calves.

I sent them back, they were too wide. They were sturdy, well above the ankle. They are easy because you put on, lace up and then just zip off and on.

The weight does not completely wrap around my ankle and I am a woman with small bones. Nevertheless, the gap is small and they work perfectly for me. I tried them on my husband and they also work: there is plenty of velcro to hold them on tightly - but, the velcro bridges a gap of about an inch between the ends of the weight. Once adjusted, however, they work great! Never came undone and stayed on comfortably.

I would not run in this product with the five pounds in each ankle. You may be able to use two to three pounds without worrying about the Velcro coming undone. I haven't tried more than power walking in them with all five pounds and it is fairly awkward feeling.

Hard to say, but I have a wide-ish foot and they are comfortable to me. Of course, thicker socks always helps. I saw that sloggers.com has free returns, and I also saw them at Walmart's website, maybe in stores, I don't know. Our local nursery and OSH carries them so I could try on in the store. Maybe you can do that somehow.

Hello, happy to help if I can. I bought these for my wife, her ankles are 5" in diameter. She reports that she can cinch these weights right down and they work fine for her. A happy wife is a happy life....

The entire length is a little more than 19 inches. If you use the full span of Velcro to secure the strap, you are left with approximately 12 inches. But you could get away with 3 inches to secure, giving you 15-16" to encircle your ankle.

I have poor circulation and in the hot weather, my ankles swell. The sock seems to help the circulation as my legs are not as tired and they help keep the swelling down. At this price they are certainly worth a try. They surely cannot hurt. Hope this helps.

I have the small and wear a size 7, I think it fit perfectly. My guess is that it may be a little too small because of your swollen foot, but I'm not positive. I wish I could be more help.

I don't believe so I have very slim ankles and they are big for me I have to pull as far as the can go

I purchased these for my mother (size 9.5 womens) who has extremely swollen feet. These socks are thick and stretchy. Since you are in the middle of the two sizes, I think the question becomes what are your personal preferences in terms of how high you want the sock coming up your calves. If you want them on the lower side I would get the 8-11.

yes , I wear mine lose, but you might have to stretch it some if you have big ankles
