I've never seen the Scubapro K2 socks in person. Before I order online, can anyone share thoughts on them?

Need them for 50F/10C water.

Preference is to wear them outside my undergarments.

Looking for something stretchy which will prevent material from bunching up around my ankles. I want a sleek foot and ankle to keep gas from getting trapped down there.
 
I've avoided that style of sock for the exact reasons you've mentioned, and have been using wool mountaineering socks instead as they don't bunch up or fold over and stay on my feet when removing my drysuit. I wear them over my base layer and under my thermal layer. I'm sure those scubapro socks would work, but before you do, consider you could get two pairs of Darn Tough Vermont wool socks for the same price, and use them inside your boots in the winter too. Take a look at style #1953, nice tradeoff between bulk and warmth. They have just enough spandex and nylon content in addition to the wool to keep their size and shape, even after normal wash/dry (low heat). My feet stay warm enough on 1hr dives at temps in the 40 degree F range.
