Hi all!
I have a problem, issue with my ride sockets.
I have lipedema in my legs, and my ankles are wide with no gap between my calves.
Even though I do a lot of sports and cycling, regular socks leave marks on me and feel really tight.
Do you know what kind of socks I can buy that are wider at the top? Something without too much elastic.
Thanks!!!

Your best bet would be ankle socks, 💯 % of cycling socks are meant for a tight snugg fit to keep from sliding down. Any other sock without a good elasticity will just slide down and jumble.
My son has thick ankles and he buys socks made for diabetics
I’ve got some pretty outstanding cankles, but not lipedema, so I hope these recommendations help. I haven’t found any in cycling-specific brands.
My favorites:
1. Stance – just avoid the running-specific socks.
2. Gym Shark – I initially didn’t think these would work, but after one wash, they were very comfortable
3. Merrell – some of their running socks work, but the light hiking crews fit better
