Poll of the Day > Guys with big feet

(+) Yeah! (+)

Where do you buy socks? I just realized pushing 30 that I'm getting tired of spending 100 bucks on socks every year because they wear out and develop holes in the bottoms. I have size ~12/12.5 but really wide feet. Most socks are sold in bundles that are just broadly labelled as 'sizes 6-12' and so I'm always stretching them beyond what they were intended. I've never seen packs of socks in any department store that go higher and I'm trying to avoid walking into a specialty shop and spending an outrageous amount on individual pairs. Any tips?

At the huge dong store

I saw a 3-pack for size 12-14 at Wal-Mart the other day. Standard black, little thick though, your feet might get toasty.

Also, I'd just try looking at Amazon.

Usually, there's a size selector on the page, despite what the item's title is. Sorry if I'm speaking down to you, just trying to troubleshoot effectively lol

If you haven't yet, I would view that item's page and see if there's an option for selecting a different size.

Wow, I accidentally deleted my last message by fumbling with my phone and pressing multiple buttons. That's a new one. Yeah I've noticed some of them have that but even then the sizes are vague or the handful that are specifically listed as size 10-13 or thereabouts have crap reviews.

Also sometimes they list the shoe size and sometimes they list the sock size, because apparently if your shoe size is 6-12 then you wear size 10-13 socks? The hell. So I don't even know if the size of the socks I've been buying is 6-12 or if they were advertised by the corresponding shoe size.

This is worse than trying to get the same number of hotdogs and buns at the same time.

I wondered what happened lol

Well, sorry to hear that. I'd also try a shoe store, might get some luck there.

I mean...how big are your freaking feat? i'm 11 1/2 extra wide and normal socks work just fine for me. I guess if you were like 13+ you might need special socks?

Length they're about 12-12.5 long depending on brand and 6E wide. So normal socks are just a little too small. They fit, but they wear out fast because they're being constantly stretched.

I'm size 13 and Walmart socks do fine. I also get higher quality socks from Costco for xmas usually and they hold up a little longer. All socks wear out and more so if you wear work boots like me.
