    I love socks, but nowadays any sock size over 44-45 is 44-45. Buy “large socks” 47? Still 44-45. 52? Believe it or not, still 44-45.

    I’m like 45-46 and it sucks. God I’d love a pair of thick beautiful socks.

      Knit your own!
      I recently took up knitting and knitted my first pair of socks for a friend. She loves them.
      Never fucking again! What a pain! Literally, I kept tapping myself in the stomach with the double pointed needles.

        Ha ha you’re selling it badly 😁 but I’ll remember it if I become too desperate…

        Nice work BTW.

      While they are a US brand and are very likely out of the question for the foreseeable future, Darn Tough does those larger sizes. So, they are out there. Just need to find an non-US brand.

        If anyone know a European version I’m all for it, but you see even here they sell 46-49, I mean 46 would be maybe a little tight, 49 I would swim in them!

        The “normal” size gets 41-42 though, only 2 “steps”.

        Thanks though! The search goes on…
