Has anyone got any experience with non-binding socks? I'm after some as my socks aren't half cutting into my legs!
Have had a look at various web sites most with conflicting reviews.... and astronomical prices!!
Any recommendations & experiences would be most welcome.

    Got some good ones from Edinburgh Woollen Mill shop-have non-grip tops but don't fall down too much-think they cost £8 for 3 pairs.

    I find C*syf**t Soft Top ones so good I never buy any others now. They are more expensive but they keep their shape well.

    I believe any socks specifically for diabetics are supposed to be OK but I've never tried them.
    If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

    If you know any knitters I bet they would love to knit you a pair - nothing as comfy as hand knit socks!
    (I hate knitting socks, but a friend knit me some and they are extremely comfy)

    I've worn comfort socks that haven't got elasticated tops for years. I didn't like how the others marked my legs.
    They do not have a seam across the toe either. I can't wear ones that do as they hurt my toes. The same as I can't bear shoes that are hard on my toes, I need soft leather shoes.
    I get my socks from the local market, they are fine for me and not expensive.
