[Closed] Sealskinz - do they stretch ?

Anyone else a size 9 and has Sealskin mid length socks ?

Size 6-8 is too small over length of foot but ok on the leg - will they eventually stretch a bit to be ok ?

Size 9-11 is ok over length of foot but I wondered if they will soon stretch on the leg and start falling down ?

Cheers

I'd go up a size. I'm a size or more smaller than you, albeit with very wide feet, and after a few pairs of mediums I've recently gone to the large size ones and found them a better fit on me. Over time I have found they shrink a bit too, although that might be my hamfisted washing. They aren't very stretchy.

Think my new pair are mid length. I prefer them to the shorter ones for keeping the water out and they have a rubbery grip round the top to hold them up. I haven't had them fall down so far and my old shorter ones never stretched so I don't expect these to. I wouldn't call them stylish though...

Nope, but they do shrink a bit def go large.
You’ll still almost put your shoulder out getting them on. Size 9 here too.

Size 9 too, skinny calves, use large. I would go full length no mid though, I have had a mid length pair go baggy but they saw decent use before hand (no complaints), the long ones are just better at keeping you dry.

I got a pair a couple of weeks ago. As a size 8/9 depending on manufacturer I went their size 9 to 11 and it’s perfect.

As for stretch as above no, but there is a bit of give in them
