Socks That Don't Leave Deep Marks

Deep sock marks come from a tight ribbed cuff pressing into your leg all day. Mi Socks stay up with a wide, loose top band instead of a tight elastic ring. No sock can promise a leg with no line at all, but a loose top can turn a deep ring into a faint line that fades. One pair is $9.99, and any 2 pairs ship free in the US.

Why do socks leave marks?

A sock stays up by gripping your leg. A narrow, tight cuff puts that grip into one thin band, and the band presses a groove into the skin. Marks are usually deeper by evening, when legs are a little bigger than in the morning. Our guides, why do socks leave marks on legs and how long should sock marks last, explain what is normal.

What should you look for?

A wide, loose top band, the right size, and a length that suits your leg. A sock that is too small pulls tight everywhere, so pick your size from the sock size chart and size up if you are between sizes. Crew ends at mid-calf. Knee High ends just below the knee, so its band sits higher on the leg. Our guide to socks that don't leave marks covers each point.

When should you show marks to a doctor?

A faint line that fades is normal. Deep grooves every day are worth showing your doctor, and so is a leg that is bigger than the other one. A sock is not a fix for the cause.

Questions and answers

Will these socks leave any marks?

They can leave a faint line, because any sock that stays up has to grip a little. The wide, loose top band is made not to leave a deep ring. Legs that swell during the day may still show a light line.

Do they stay up without tight elastic?

Yes. The top band is knit wide and loose, so it holds the sock up without a tight elastic ring. Pick your size from the sock size chart, because a sock that is too big can slide.

Crew or Knee High for legs that mark easily?

Start with Crew. It ends at mid-calf and there is less sock to hold up. Choose Knee High if you want the length for boots, skirts or cold days.

Do these socks squeeze your legs?

No. Mi Socks are not compression socks. They are made not to squeeze. If your doctor has prescribed compression stockings, keep wearing those.

Do 2 pairs ship free?

US shipping is free on orders of $19 or more, so any 2 pairs or more ship free. Under $19, shipping is $4.95.
