Not sure this is the right section but can anyone recommend some good quality socks for an older man with swollen feet and ankles.

Looking for something that is preferably primarily cotton, good quality and stretchy and not too tight. Loser and baggier maybe.

Most socks seem to be like compression stockings.

Any recommendations please?

Thanks @TheLittleBrownFox I will have a look at them. Are they non-constricting round the ankle area?

Norfolk Socks (online) they do diabetic cotton socks. They're around £5 a pair but do discount if you order multiple pairs.

'Gentle Grip' socks they always seem to have them on markets and in cheap shops.

Have a look at www.hj.co.uk they do a soft top sock. I buy soft top socks from Pavers for my mum, they don't leave any marks on her legs

Yep :) I think they're poly cotton rather than only cotton - not sure!

BAM socks from here:
bambooclothing.co.uk/bamboo-socks/
Beautiful colours, lovely and soft and many of the designs have a roll top rather than ankle elastic.
