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.

(14,200 posts)... 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.

Browser search entry -

Put: MEN'S SOCKS + no elastic + no latex + no rubber - (then click search)
Hope you find this helpful in your search.

(24,085 posts)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.

(22,282 posts)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.
