What do you guys suggest ? I usually wear Wigwam boot socks, but I have to fold them down because otherwise they're way too tight going around my tree trunks. It'd be nice to wear socks over my calves once again. I don't know what it is about hiking socks, but the people who do hiking must have some really skinny legs is all I can think of.

Smaller tree trunks...
If you Google "socks for obese legs" you'll find plenty of options for your pudgy shanks. There are companies that specialize in "oversize" clothing items for folks like yourself.
The reason those of us who hike have "really skinny legs" is because we exercise.

And there are those of us that "excersize" who can't wear calf socks because we REALLY exercise.

Bull punk. Stop being so full of yourself and you will be a little less full of poop. I hike 2-3 days per week. I am in excellent 58.5 yo shape (people tend to think I am under 50), and I know exactly what Merkava is speaking of, and you clearly DON'T. He speaks of the muscle mass (not FAT) 35% up the leg that makes wearing skinny hipster socks useless.
As for advice, I just go by trial and error and frankly don't seem to write down or remember which ones fit until I see and touch them in the store - so I skip online buys unfortunately. In the summer, lucky................wait you are in California. What are socks?

You're the rudest member on this entire forum and one of the older ones. You really should grow up and act your age.
You know, people can be at a perfect weight and have health problems that make their legs swell up.

Apparently, you skip leg day at the gym.
Some of us who exercise have really large calves.
I don't wear socks that go over my calves because they are large from cycling and leg day in the weight room
I have a hard time getting pants and jeans. If I get them small enough for my waist, they are tight in my thighs and calves.
Instead of assuming the problem is obesity, why not ask a clarifying question? You'll come across much less like the south end of a north bound horse.
You might even come across as a kind human being.

Same here, especially with the pants fitting. I got stronger legs from my previous job though, climbing stairs and ladders all day. if I did a thousand steps/sports (mostly running) in a shift, I had a slow day. stopped working there and my waist has grown a bit so the issue is gone now. Legs are largely the same, I do get the tight socks issue from the anckle upwards

Yes, same here. 34W x 36L that fit are terribly hard to find.
I have to use "relaxed fit" or just use carpenter/cargo for work always.
I also like to wear western boots, and it takes several minutes to pull the leg hem up over my calves so I can slide my boots on. I'm 6'3 and 223lbs.

can i suggest:
-army surplus store
-sports surplus store
-cabelas/hunting /fishing store
-hand made in your town: have somebody handy make you couple of wool socks to your size/specs
p.s. my step dad just cut the upper part cross-wide off because they where always too tight; the men was in trades all his life.
