They for sure fit Women's size 6 to Men's 12. Usually they will fit a 5 and 13 as well.

I have a friend who is a size 14 with pretty wide feet and he rocks them too. It kind of depends on how wide your feet and calves are. Extra-wide feet-havers in our families are very happy with the ankle socks especially. Our construction seems to let the toes stretch wider than your standard sock.

While our socks aren't made for wide calves specifically, the spandex qualities give our "one size fits most" the ability to, well, fit most. People with especially wide calves might find the more detailed styles to be a bit snug. People without wide calves report that they don't fall down, but don't leave tight marks either.

The most elaborate designs are at higher risk of being tighter. But we truly believe our socks will fit you if you are within the sizes shown. There are rare defects that cause a tight 'catch' around the sock, sometimes just one of the two in a pair. If you notice any sizing differences like this between the left and right socks, please email us at contact@footclothes.com with your order number and we'll investigate.

We know a lot of people want our socks to be bigger or stretchier to fit calves bigger than about a 15” circumference. We hear you. But it’s honestly really complicated. The thing about our designs is they are knitted into the fabric, not printed on, and they use both cotton and nylon thread to make the durable, soft, detailed, vivid images everyone loves. But nylon isn’t as stretchy as cotton. “So just make it bigger,” you might say, but if we make them any bigger, they don’t stay up on anyone.

Chelsea has been working on this problem for longer than most of us have worked with her at FootClothes, and that means she’s already tried making things bigger or altering the cuff or all kinds of changes, but where we are right now with our regular crew socks is that they stay up on most people, and because the human calf is wider at the top and gets smaller as you go down toward the foot, if we make things bigger they slide down and bunch up at the ankle. Which is not cool for anyone.

The more intricate or detailed the design, the more nylon thread it requires, and thus only simplistic designs, such as lines or large blocks lend themselves best to wide calf sizing. Because of this, and because knee-high socks go up above the widest part of the calf so they are more likely to stay up, we created the line Oh Hey, Stripes. This line included two colors of wide-calf friendly knee-highs that used an entirely new production technique we hadn’t tried before. It didn't solve the nylon thread problem, but it made some quality striped socks we really liked.

Unfortunately, the Stripes experiment was not a huge success. Most people see a pair of striped socks and assume it will be dirt cheap, without even bothering to look at it and see the superior construction and quality materials. This is the same problem we have when people want us to make solid-color socks — it's just too expensive for what people perceive as the value of the final product.

In 2025, we've started looking at expanding our ankle sock options instead of chasing the dream of wide-calf-friendly crew or knee highs.

If you want to support our efforts to make more wide-calf options, the best way is to buy the current ones we have. That tells us people are interested and willing to support us putting our money into the project. If you'd like, you can sign up for our email newsletters, and you’ll be notified as soon as we have any new options.

Ankle socks are both popular and unpopular at the same time because we get this question a lot but then the ankle socks we have don’t sell nearly as well as anything else. With the success of Pastel Goth, where the same design is on both the crew and ankle height of the sock, we’re reconsidering what upcoming launches will have for ankle socks. But we don’t usually launch them in the end of the year, because most of our customers are in the Northern Hemisphere, so it’s winter and people have cold ankles.

The best way to make sure we put out more ankle socks is honestly just to buy the ones we have because we can’t invest in something people don’t buy. We’re a super small company and we like that, because it lets us talk to our customers like real people. But we’re not a giant corporation that can take risks over and over on new product lines that people don’t like. Ankle socks don’t sell as quickly in brick-and-mortar stores which is another factor we have to consider. If you like to buy FootClothes from stores in your area — we have a lot of amazing wholesale partners who stock us around the world! — tell them that!
