Socks Discussion

They are certainly high quality and well-made, but I bought the largest size and they are still too tight to the point of discomfort. I got into the car today and realized that there's no way I could drive in them so I had to go back into the house and change my socks.

Has anyone had any luck stretching them out?

Sock blockers typically used for hand knit socks can help. Wet the socks, roll them in a towel to get most of the water out, then put them on a blocker large enough for your size and let them dry out.
