FEB 2021 original post: As an alternative to the Adustable DIY upgraded Sock Block and Size I wrote about in my March 5 2020 blog entry, I decided to try these ETSY sock blockers. Sold and shipped dismantled, these offer adjustable length leg and foot. https://etsy.me/35kHJDY
UPDATE: by adding labels as noted below you won’t need any size rulers to size determine as the katrinkles adjustable adult sock blockers assemble to the size to confirm finished sock will fit that size. INSTAGRAM url https://www.instagram.com/p/CUyriNxl_xr/

Just check out these confirmed sized 11 men’s socks (after finishing these they rested and then were washed in a net bag in the washing machine on cold then hung to dry).
Exploring these adjustable sock blockers with their adjustable foot lengths, I’ve noticed using different charts (like that shown above) that depending on how long the foot portion is extended it seems to go up one US female sock size by each position. I’ve labelled the blockers to make it easier to adjust and use. With the blocker adjusted I size confirm finished washed/dried CSM socks - seems to work great. I’ve used charts to determine equivalent men’s foot sizes and will double check all once my recently purchased a men/women Brannock foot sizer arrives.
A clarity note: As I’m using centimetres as a base measurement and womens US sizes in cm (which is easier for me), it turns out these blockers step up one cm on each foot length adjustment (and match Women’s shoe sizes in cm easily) and these foot lengths when checked against my preferred ruler style chart and the second chart shown on this page work perfectly to size - until the Brannock device arrives. ;)
Knowing what foot length the blocker adjusts to by women’s US sizes allow me to use that as a reference to men’s US sizes and therefore any other country sizing too.
2024 update:
Katrinkles have revised the design on their sock blockers. Now they have less holes but offer a sliding adjustment - which still works!
