7.5 inches would fit my foot. ;-) But seriously, I hope you get some
relief soon.

The "large" size Jaywalker sock knitted to gauge wouldn't turn my heel
either. I wear a size 10 and my ankle is 9.375" in diameter whether
I'm being fat or thin on any particular day. It isn't about size with
these sox, it's about flexibility or stretch and lack of same.

I gave up quite some time ago on fancy patterned socks - nobody sees
them anyhow so I spend that effort on sweaters and scarves. Opal and
similar sock yarns are fast knits and make their own patterns - what
more can a girl ask for?
