Anyone know any completely plain casual socks for a size 14 that arent too tight that I can get or order to Canada?

Ive purchased both Jockey and McGregor socks recently and both of them were too tight. Left imprints in my legs. Made my feet sweat. Its not just me, I have socks that fit properly but dont remember what brand they are because they are completely plain!

Try the folks at King Size. I'm 15 4e, and haven't had a problem. Both the "rag socks" and "oversized cotton" have a great fit.

Thorlos have some socks that come in a size 15, you may want to check them out on their company site. The socks with CoolMax have great wicking capability. A couple times a year they have a "Buy Three Get One Free" sale.

I wear a 14 shoe, and I find that Softop socks are perfect in every way.

Also, for wool socks, it's hard to beat the XLs offered by LL Bean.

I'm not sure if their XL would be big enough, but perhaps try Tilley Endurables? Their socks are excellent.

I love Land's End contrast rag socks. Sadly, it looks like they are discontinuing the contrast ones. On the plus side, the XL says they fit up to a 14, and they are now half price. I'm off to order some myself and stock up!

Oops, I just noticed the "completely plain" bit. In that case, you might want to check out the regular, non-contrast, Land's End cotton rag or wool rag socks. I am pretty hard on my socks - and I am carless in SF so I walk a lot. The LE ones are the best I've found in terms of durability vs. cost.
