“I ordered these socks as ones I have had in the past were perfect for hiking and were a loose fit around the ankle. Unfortunately the pack of 3 pairs I purchased recently were too tight with the elasticated ankles (possibly because with age, my ankles are bigger and I need a looser-fitting sock).
I have carefully unthreaded all the elastic and the socks are now perfect and very comfortable! A much better decision than returning them and trying to find different socks.”
