or I am a Female with a size 11 foot? Can I purchase Men's
socks
Answer: Physically there is only 1 difference between
men's and women's socks and that is the top elastic band of the socks. The
men's socks the band is between 2-3 inches thick to accommodate the larger
calf in contrast the women's socks the band is an inch to 1 inch top
band. its only a slight cosmetic difference, which most of the time will not
be seen or noticed.
How ever, women's socks tend to be more color full and
color rich and because of that the cotton mixture tends to be lower in order to avoid color fading, Men as a general rule
wear socks on a daily bases and require higher quality socks to withstand
repeated washes and constant wear and tear , where as most women tend to wear socks
as a fashion statement and less frequently all together.
Personally I have been in the socks business for almost 10
years and my rule is "if it looks good and goes with the outfit who cares
what size it is wear it and enjoy it. |
