I need to find some socks that don't have the seam on the top, or no seam at all, preferably. My bony little toes swell a little and, even without shoes, I get red marks. I plan to eventually go back to a job, and I can't be taking off my shoes and socks all the time! Any recommendations or ideas?

They make then fairly thin and comfortable for everyday use. I only use compression stockings still so I don't really have any suggestions for socks.

thanks, Lara! Those look like exactly what I need. Just have to find em on the US site.

Oh, and DJ, I have a pair of compression stockings, but the have an open toe with thick seams, so they're worse than socks. I would like to find ones without that seam because I love how they keep my legs from swelling, and nice and warm

Forgot to mention that. I found similar socks on the US site for $29 for 3 pair

Ah yeah those are like mine. Hopefully the new ones will work well if you decide to purchase them

I am going to Bismarck today, so I might pop into a couple shops and see if I can find better priced ones.
