Are your socks driving you CRAZY? (Wearever Socks GIVEAWAY)

See below for my giveaway of some amazing socks!

    Maybe I'm the only person around who has this problem.

    I would enjoy wearing socks, but they drive me C-R-A-Z-Y! 

    Those beautifully knitted and machine woven socks that should comfort my feet so cozily are just so uncomfortable.  I think it all began when rayon and other nylon or man-made materials found their way into socks.

    So halfway through the day, or sometimes even after five minutes (!!!), my legs are telling me that my socks are pressing too firmly against my calves or ankles - and ouch! 

    Okay, so I'm the sensitive type.  ☺

    But truly, even though my pre-diabetes rarely causes me to have swollen feet and ankles anymore, thanks to the Trim Healthy Mama diet, my lower carb eating lifestyle, and using a lot of full mineral sea salt these days, socks are just not comfortable.  And the sock itch?  If you get that from the socks squeezing your feet and legs, you know what I mean!

    I heard that there was a new type of socks being made for diabetics.  Even though I'm not a full-blown diabetic, my feet are just sensitive, and have been since I was a skinny mini in college...so I decided to be brave and try the new Buster Brown Wearever 100% Cotton Socks for Women. 

    Oh, wow. 

    Oh, wow!  Wow!  WOW!  ☺

    Being completely truthful here about these socks...the minute I put them on, I knew right away that these socks were going to work well for me.

    I was so excited! 

    Maybe these socks feel so comfy without being restricting because they are made of 100% cotton.  Where I live, I truly cannot find any 100% cotton socks.  The last time I looked at another online clothing company that sells socks, I couldn't find any 100% cotton socks there, either.

    But these Buster Brown Wearever socks are 100% cotton.  Just like the photo here, they stay up without slouching, but THEY ARE NOT RESTRICTING.  !!!!! 

    I have a big dresser drawer full of socks from many brands and companies, and every single pair is not fun for me to wear.  They are too restrictive, and cause major sock itch. 

A little bit about the Wearever Socks by Buster Brown:

    Wearever's new 100% cotton socks are made by Buster Brown for maximum comfort and durability. Great for those who have poor circulation, easily irritated skin, or diabetes, Buster Brown's Wearever 100% cotton socks are made with no elastic or synthetics. (Hooray!!!) 

    The seamless design of Buster Brown cotton socks with cushioning are designed to improve comfort, reduce binding, and eliminate skin irritation. Wearever currently offers three comfortable styles of socks.

    I personally prefer the socks on the far left.  Knee highs haven't been my thing since I was a young child, and the web-look diabetic socks on the far right just really aren't me, either.  ☺

My favorite!

Buster Brown Wearever Diabetic Socks come in the following shoe sizes for women:

Shoe size 5 - 7
Shoe size 7.5 - 9
Shoe size 9.5 - 10.5
Shoe size 11 - 12

    Wearever decided to begin offering diabetic socks because they understood the difficulties associated with diseases which created complications related to problems with circulation. Many standard socks restricted the flow of blood, which, over time, caused clotting, bruising, and many other serious conditions.

    After wearing these socks for a full day, I can say that I experienced absolutely NO chaffing, sweating, rashes, itching, and swelling.  Wahoo!  However these socks are made, they are amazing! 

    So just in case you think I'm super terribly picky about socks, a relative came to visit this week.  Even though younger in years, she has experienced some medical problems that have greatly affected her feet and legs, even to the point of disability. 

    I wanted to see what she thought of these socks, since I was so happy with them.  She put them on this morning (a clean pair - don't worry!), and told me a couple of hours later, "The instant I put those new socks on, my legs and feet felt so amazing!  I've never had socks feel like that before!"

    Okay, so it's not just me.  She loved them so much that she refused to take my new socks off.  ☺

    So I gave them to her.  And when I find the other two pairs that I received to review and tell you about, I'm going to give them to her as well. 

    Then, I'm placing an order for as many of those socks as I can afford to purchase...or get away with purchasing.  ☺  Get a 6-pack of your favorite item and save big! Wearever U.S. also offers free shipping on all domestic 6-pack orders.

    Drawbacks to these socks?

• Price:  $8.95 per pair of socks.  Ouch - but thankfully it only hurts the pocketbook and not the feet.
• No markings:  no markings near the toes or anywhere to indicate the Wearever/Buster Brown name...so hard to find in sock drawers because so many socks look alike when folded into a "ball".
• I'd love to see some ankle sock options; not the "no show" socks, but anklets.
• Would love to see navy blue and tan colors as well.
• These are thin socks, so I don't know how long they will hold up without getting holes in them.
