The Best XL Socks for Big and Tall Men
If your feet require specialty socks because they're extra large, they likely get extra attention, too! But while the people around you may notice your feet and pay them extra attention, do you? Between slouchy socks that are WAY too big and loose, stretched out socks that are too small and tight or XL socks that tend to be boring and basic, it can be hard to find socks with your XL feet and sense of style in mind!
Luckily, whether you're wondering what traits make for classic and comfortable XL socks or you're looking for top quality trending men's socks in XL sizes, we’ve got our footing in this category and have got you covered!
should you be wearing XL socks?
While most guys may think that they’ve got men's sock sizes figured out, they may also be thinking that the "Size 10-13” on the package is referring to their shoe size — really, these numbers are referring to how many inches long your foot is! This means that men's 10-13 sock size will fit a men's (U.S.) shoe size of 8-12.5.
- Sock size 9-11 should fit a shoe size of 3-8
- Sock size 10-13 should fit a shoe size of 7-12
- Sock size 14+ should fit most any other shoe size at 12.5+
We know that this can be confusing, so we sock fairies do our best to make sizing your socks easier by letting you know what shoe sizes will work with the socks you're looking at when you shop with us at The Sock Drawer!
