I wear a 9 1/2M women's shoe. On rare occasion, I go up to a 10. It's very difficult to find women's socks in that "extended" size. When I buy women's Sock Size 9-11, they are for shoe/feet sizes smaller than mine. The heels of the socks don't reach my heels, and they're often short in length up the ankle. I like to wear ankle socks when it's cold out, inside some boots, or if they have a cute subtle pattern sometimes. K-Mart used to be the only place I could find "extended" size ankle socks in solid colors that matched my pants and had a wide comfortable band at the ankle. The store closed here.

The same holds true for trouser socks. I usually purchase the "extended" size in Legacy Trouser (not compression) socks because they blend with my work pants or jeans and have a comfortable band beneath the knee. (I've tossed several that got holes after only 1-2 wearings.)

But really, a 9 1/2 women's shoe is not an "extended" size anymore. And what is the "extended" label? Most of my millennial child's female friends wear a larger shoe size than I do. Women's shoes are offered in Size 12+. I recently wanted No-Show socks for my sneakers and ended up buying Calvin Klein Men's size 7-12 no-show socks. Really.

*I want a sock that fits in foot length, ankle/leg length, & around.

*I want a sock that does not have a skinny band at the top that acts like a rubber band and leaves a red mark.

*I want a comfortable band on all of my socks. And, I want them to stay up.

*And I want style.

It seems like the shoe industry has stepped it up and recognized women's feet don't stop at size 8; it's past the time for sock manufacturers to step it up, too.

My shoe size is 11n.  Since I don't wear colorful socks, I purchase mine from the mens department.  I like the ankle length and they are comfy.  I always get white.  I wear socks with my sneakers and to bed if my feet are cold

There's still Kmart online.  

They have clothing. Maybe you can still get your socks.

Just Google Kmart Online.  ☺

Funny you mention this sock issue.  Often in the winter when I wash socks they're really snug on me and I'm an 8-8 1/2!  They're supposed to "fit all".  Who is "all"?

On the same subject of socks....why do you have to buy them in such big packages; often six or more.  Sometimes I only need one pair of a sneaker sock.  Glad I got that off my chest!!

Years ago I was a men's buyer that got a 50% discount so I learned to wear men's socks.  The women's socks I have bought since then usually run small, and I wear a size 8 or 8 1/2 shoe.  My best luck is at TJ Maxx, I have a few men's gold toe socks that have worn like iron,

I wear 10.5 or 11 so I understand.  I buy queen opaque trouser socks from Amazon and have even gotten them from Lane Bryant or Catherine's.  I wear these with dress pants for work/church.  I buy men's ribbed ankle socks to wear with jeans and, on occasion, with dress pants.  I've gotten them at Penney's, TJ Maxx, Kohl's, etc.   I don't buy the same brand name but they all look pretty much the same wherever I purchase them from.

@Meowingkitty @Desert Lily  Best socks on the planet. Like a hug for your feet. 

Can't vouch for the sizing though...Sorry

Finding socks that fit have always been a problem for me. I need them to stay in place but due to leg surgery I can't have super tight elastic. Here are the brands that work for me:

Catawba socks (QVC)

CopperFit socks (HSN)

Two other companies that I would consider:

Bombas

Duluth Trading Co.

Good Luck!.
