Thread: Wide Calf Hose

Hybrid View

  1. #1
    Martin S
    I am a small person with well-deveoloped calves, but I had never had a problem getting socks on, until I ordered some from Kiltstore. They are too narrow for comfort, but wearable.

    I wish it were easier to find shaped hose (wider at the top than at the ankle) at a reasonable price.
    And I insist on reasonable, since I find any socks wear out quickly round the toes while the legs are still in perfect condition. They need replacing (or darning) too often for me to pay high prices.

    Martin,

    You might want to consider the Lewis kilt hose we carry. They are priced higher than standard, but are specially reenforced at the toe and heel (where socks tend to wear out), so they will be longer lasting. Plus they are very comfy to boot!
