 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hello,
How much stretch is there in Teko socks? I'm thinking of getting a pair or two but unsure whether medium or large is the right size for a UK 8.5. I like lightweight, well fitted socks which don't sag, wrinkle or change shape too much over time. I'm considering the Merino Ultralight sock.
Appreciate your suggestions!
Cheers,
Hank.

I have the same foot size as you and I have those socks in a large and they fit really well; no sagging or wrinkling. I'd normally say my feet were not large (they aren't!), but the L seems to fit perfectly in this case.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Hank, You sit right on the boarder line, they say that a medium goes up to a 7.5 uk but if you have slim foot it will fit an 8.5 without much trouble, big, high volume foot then go for the large

Thanks for your suggestions. I have wide feet but narrow heels out of proportion to the width. Socks which are too big tend to sag around the heel. So all things considered medium or large ?!
I love that the interweb enables me to post questions about the finer details of a pair of socks.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Well, I have narrow feet, and like I said the large are fine for me. Given you have narrow but also wide feet I'd go for large. If you are worried why not buy one pair now and if they don't fit carefully fold them back up and give them away as a Christmas gift:-)

There is an idea!!!
My money would actually be on the medium, the teko socks will stretch a little (when we use them fir fitting they get all sorts of stuff put inside gem and stretched over the foot) what they won't do is shrink...not even if you boil wash them...we have tried, the fibres get a bit scratching and locked together but they come back to life with a bit of pulling

Thanks CEM and sah. I went with both your suggestions: bought a size medium then tried them on carefully so not to spoil their Christmas gift potential! I'm pleased to say they fit ok.

I am size 8 and bought, this week, 2 pairs of Teko Medium socks medium size. I am a bloke but bought womens socks as the price was really good. Received and tried them on today and they fit my feet very well....Thanks Colin for your advice on my "cold feet..." thread.
