<p>Kelowna, my guess would be that your husband pulls his socks very tight, so that the knit is stretched over the big toe. If he puts them on and then pulls the big toe a little loose, it shouldn’t give out as quickly. </p>
<p>If he has feet greater than size 12, you should also look into getting him larger socks–REI carries socks in sizes and I’m sure other stores do as well–so that the socks don’t HAVE to be pulled so tight over the toe.</p>
