Hi I am having a problem finding mens cotton socks with a gentle grip around the ankles. I have tried Gentle Grip socks but they have changed from what I have had before and the new version is leaving rings around my ankles. I tried bamboo socks which are comfortable but they keep sliding down into my shoes. Can anyone suggest any alternative please.
Best Wishes
David
 
@field the socks sliding down is a symptom of skimping in the shaping/sizing so every step gives a little tug on the sole, drawing the heel of the sock forward.
I make my own, have done for over 50 years now, a perfect fit is so comfortable.
 
cozy feet do such socks with a light grip use them myself. not cheap but worth it as so comfortable

Thank you Drummer for your information. regards field
 
There are also socks designed specifically for people with diabetes available in the DUK shop. Two different sorts, depending on whether you have swelling in lower legs and need super-stretch
