Looking to buy socks that:
- fit large feet (my size is about 12 in women's), - are appropriate for autumn boots in that they are high enough (but not necessarily knee high; mid-calf would be OK), - are wide enough in the calf area so as not to leave marks and constrict blood flow in lower legs. - ideally would be made form moisture-wicking material high tech material. But will consider cotton or wool as well as long as wool is not scratchy. I know I have listed a lot of requirements but am hoping someone has a solution.

Merino wool is great, warm in winter, cool in summer, not scratchy at all. Unfortunately I’m in the U.K. so any specific brand I’d recommend would be expensive to ship to you.

Solmates maybe? They are stupidly expensive but they have every length and they are comfortable. Buy XL either men or women

I will search for Soulmates and in particular see if they offer Merino wool products
No Wikipedia article at the link. Did I miss something?

I have looked them up. So cozy indeed! And then of course the ad for this company started flashing in my Facebook feed and comments below it. Some women in comments specifically give their calf circumference and ask if the socks would fit and the company gives recommended models. I will buy those.

I will get quarter socks in XL from them. Thank you. On sale the prices are reasonable. And the designs, oh so fun!
Regarding their high cost: I air dry my socks so they last for years and years. They are not going to be expensive if I calculate price per wear.

Hikers love smartwool and darn tough for moisture wicking and high quality (they do have socks not designed for hiking too). Not sure on sizing though. I’m a women’s 8 and a medium works well for me if that says anything.

The other great brand is Vero Monte. Sell on Amazon. Excellent. Very comfortable. Perfect socks. Two kinds. If you are interested, I’ll tell you what’s the difference. One set is thinner than the other but both are excellent. |

I went on a sock shopping spree. I have the reverse problem with feet smaller than the typical men's medium. So I tend to buy woman's medium footwear, or size 8 to 8.5 wide, which fit perfectly.
As well, I had some pairs pf hiking socks that finally wore out. So, I finally found replacements at Karrimor in the UK. They have Midweight Boot Sock. The Mens medium fits 7 - 11, which I believe will fit you, according to the women-to-men size chart: Women's to Men's US Shoe Size Converter They are mostly cotton, and have a cushy feel as if wearing towels on your soles. I'm just not sure about how they'll be around the calf. Hiking and Walking Boots and Shoes | Outdoor Clothing | Running Trainers and Clothing | Camping Equipment | Rucksacks | www.karrimor.com

I'm wearing them now and paying attention to the calf. As they do leave indentations in my (skinny-ish) calves, they might be uncomfortable for you unless you roll them way down, which I do in the summer.
