Wearing socks and pressure on ankles

Posted , 2 users are following.

For many years I haven't been able to wear socks or anything that touches my ankles as the pressure becomes  so uncomfortable after a few minutes and deep ridges form  on my feet. Does anyone else gave this problem (I have OA in ankle and knee).

    I have very thin ankles and I don't like socks that leave dents in my skin.  I bought something called all day socks and they have no elastic cuff to cause pressure.

      I have tried all sorts of socks from elastic free to those little sockets and they all leave dents in my feet.  So no matter the weather, I have to go sock free.
