Anyone know of any men's brand of black crew sox with no elastic in them???? I have tried and found

none without some kind of elastic in them. He hates them with it. I must have looked at 10 different companies and can't find any. Any help will be most appreciated.

Wonder if you can get some hand knitted using cotton yarn. There are people with medical issues involving the tightness of clothes. Maybe try searching on those web sites. Good Luck.

... specialty medical equipment and supply vendors ? As a previous poster mentioned - some people are allergic or intolerant to latex or rubber.
Others can't handle tight clothing due to circulatory issues. Look for large retail medical supply outlets - they may have or be able to find specifically what you need.

Your networking approach and reaching out is a good method to help find what you want/need.

Good luck with your hunting down and gathering during your consumer shopping sprees.

The socks are very loose. My husband got some, not because he is diabetic but because most socks are too damn tight, and he finds these comfortable.

Just not sure about elastic in the men's sox. It would be worth checking out though.

If you buy a pair, a pair is sent to a homeless shelter.
