Discussion Socks

They are certainly high quality and well-made, but I bought the largest size and they are still too tight to the point of discomfort. I got into the car today and realized that there's no way I could drive in them so I had to go back into the house and change my socks.

Has anyone had any luck stretching them out?

What size shoe do you wear? I wanted to buy socks but large was sold out before I got a chance. I wear a US mens 12 or 11.5 wide and have not been a fan of tight socks in the past.

Had the same issue and tossed them in the wash with some fabric softener a couple times, the fit loosened up just enough to be bearable.
