Those socks are wonderful and they have good foot support too.

  >From my checking account.
  the socks are I think it was four pairs for twelve dollars on wall mart 
  site.
  Can't beet that.
  I just love them.
  I got the shorter pair and I love that my feet stay dry.
  Even in the summer.
  Even when I wear dresses I wear the socks.
  I wash them in a laundry bag, they are holding up well.
  I have to dry them a couple of times to get them dry all the way.
  But that isn't a problem for me.
  since I have my own washer and dryer.
  If you can get them, I know you will like them.
  the shoes I wear are earth.
  and I try to get specials on them.
  It lifts my toes up a small bit and this helps.
  Just some thoughts.

  >> Proper footwear is especially critical to prevention of diabetic foot
  >> problems.  Here are some tips on selecting the safest shoes and socks:
  >>
  >>
  >>
  >> .              Shoe fit - select shoes that fit from day one; don't 
  >> expect
  >> them to "stretch." There should be plenty of room for toes.  Buy shoes 
  >> late
  >> in the day, when your feet enlarge somewhat.
  >>
  >>
  >>
  >> .              Shoe materials - avoid plastic and vinyl ("man-made") shoe
  >> materials.  Select leather shoes or the modern running or walking shoes.
  >> Shoe materials must "breathe" to ventilate your feet.
  >>
  >>
  >>
  >> .              Shoe style - never wear shoes with open toes or heels. 
  >> Don't
  >> wear sandals, especially those with thongs between the toes.
  >>
  >>
  >>
  >> .              Shoe Inspection - Make sure shoes have no torn linings. 
  >> Your
  >> doctor or podiatrist should inspect new shoes to confirm proper fit.
  >>
  >>
  >>
  >> .              Limit shoe wearing - don't wear shoes more than five hours 
  >> at
  >> a time, then change to another pair.
  >>
  >>
  >>
  >> .              Hosiery - always wear socks or stockings.  Avoid socks 
  >> with
  >> seams, or those made of all-synthetic materials.  Cotton is best.
  >>
  >>
  >>
  >>
  >>
  >> You can wear wool socks in winter if they are non-irritating.  Change 
  >> socks
  >> daily, and inspect them before and after wearing them.  Don't wear any 
  >> socks
  >> with holes or mended areas that can irritate skin.
