popsocks for my mum and her thick legs

My mum likes to wear popsocks when she wears trousers, not ankle ones but knee highs. The trouble is, she has fairly think calf and I noticed yesterday that they are soooo tight as too, I think, be dangerous to her blood supply. My mum is 68 so perhaps I'm being over cautious but I'd really like to try and find her some popsocks that are going to be better for her and more comfortable.

Any ideas gratefully received.
TIA

try Evans - they go up to a size 30plus so should have something suitable. They do tights, knee highs, stockings - all sorts really.

Evans knee-highs - they don't come in sizes, just one XXL size, but they definitely have a wider fit than standard ones. They do them in black as well.

The evans ones are fab, I use them all the time and never feel any kind of discomfort, and my calfs are some what thick
