Default Socks that fit

I'm wondering if anyone else has had a problem with finding socks that fit. I've lost some weight but my calves are still to fat for regular dress socks. I end up having to cut slits in them, or cut off a couple inches so they don't go as high.

Is there such a thing as dress socks for guys with big (or in my case, fat) legs?

Have you tried a Big and Tall shop? Or maybe the King Size catalog? If they make larger neckties I'm sure they make socks....

HI
Try drleonard.com. They have a catalog as well as a website and they have all sorts of things for people with special needs. My Mom is a diabetic, and we get larger, non-binding socks for her from Dr Leonard.
Hope this helps!

Thanks for the suggestion. The Dr. Leonard site carries some "non-biinding" socks that I want to try.

I went to the site and it said under construction. I searched on yahoo and think it might be this site.

Ummmmm... sorry to hear about your socks that don't fit problem...ouch! I shop at the big sock .com type stores and find that they all fit some are better than others.

But to tall you the truth... I always get such a joy shopping for socks, as it is one thing I can buy over the counter and don't need a percription for!
