Special socks

[katielou1]

My father-in-law has arthritis and can't wear normal socks because they are too tight around the ankle and cut off the circulation. Does anyone know where I can get him some affordable specialist ankle socks that won't be too tight?

[Ethel]

Most of the high street stores sell socks called 'soft tops'.

They have reduced elastic at the top, so aren't tight.

I don't know if these are sufficiently loose to suit your FIL. Perhaps you could buy one pair to try. I particularly recommend M&S.

[fat rascal]

you could also try a "cosy feet" catalogue too?

good luck
