Hello 😊 I'm a chonky girl with some fat cankles, looking for some really wide socks. Anybody got any tips? I've searched far and wide, but I can't find anything cheap made in Europe. Call me crazy but I don't want to pay 40 euros for 3 wide socks 😬

I've spend a lot on fancy high tech trekking socks for outdoor stuff (like 20€ a pair) before I discovered German army socks that are just as good but sold in bulk for like 2-3€ a pair, very comfortable and stretchy so they fit multiple sizes. They're probably not to your taste but I just checked the company selling them and they also have these more civil looking and advertised as extra wide comfort socks for like 5€ a pair, might be worth a try.

Do you have a site for those bundeswehr socks?

Unfortunately the last bulk I bought was from Amazon a year ago but I just checked and Otto has them too. Although don't expect them to be "original" Bundeswehr socks, I have no idea if they have ever been purchased by the German army, and searching for "German army socks" gives you tons of different results. Anyway I found these are very durable, comfortable and dirt cheap, so can recommend them. :)

I hate to say it, but if its genuinely made in europe and not bangladesh/china etc then it wont be cheap.
