Gold Toe Men's Cotton Over-the-Calf Athletic Socks (3-Pack)

I am 6'2" and this socks fits me perfectly reaching right upto the knees. Perfect size. It's very light material making it absolutely comfortable even when it covers your entire calf. The soft material of the socks add to the comfort. Highly recommended for those who are looking for OTC socks

These socks are just what I was looking for. Great fit and great value.

So far, so good. But I've only had them a week. I bought them because other socks would not stay up when I wore rubber boots. The lining in the boots causes my other socks to "walk down" at the heel. But these stayed up. They go well over the calf - to about half way over my knee cap, and I am 6'1". The socks are not especially soft, but that's ok for me since they are work socks. They give adequate padding without too much bulk. All in all I'm happy with them at this point.UPDATE: It is now January 2017 and the socks are just like new. I have hand washed in cold water, and air dried them all these months. No stretching or shrinkage has occurred. They still hold tight and don't fall down during wear. I purchased more so I can wear a fresh pair every day and not have to wash them so often. Great socks that I recommend highly.UPDATE: One year later, January 2018. All the original socks developed holes about an inch beyond the heels under the foot. My wife darned them, and then darned them, again. Now, she is sewing patches on them. The patched socks are still comfortable to wear. I am amazed at how thick and luxurious these socks are, except for this one spot. The elastic is still strong, also. The only reason I am keeping the holey socks is because that is the only part not good and can be patched. I just ordered some more and will wear them along with the patched socks. Wish I could find these same socks that would do a better job of holding up to wear.

Since I have larger calf muscles, most tube or calf socks do not stay in place and they end up sliding down my calf. But the GOLDEN TOE over-the-calf socks are the best socks on the planet. They are very durable and maintain their black color through many washes. These actually act as compression socks as well. I never have to worry about these socks sliding down AT ALL. Once you pull them on they stay exactly where you pull them up to. I will NEVER buy another over-the-calf sock in my lifetime. Although they are a little more expensive than other brands, these are very durable and worth the higher price. It is often less expensive when you buy them in bulk.

These are form fitting compression socks! If you have your toenails surgically remove they might be okay. I have to pull really hard to get them on, and they will snag on anything. I am old, and just getting these things on with one hand is an exhausting chore. Actually, pretty good quality; just overkill in elasticity. I have to stretch the socks over something before even trying to put them on. Strong young guys looking for something really tight may love these cutting blood circulation off. Editing in. I changed my rating. After washing and wearing few times, I like these socks. Lot better sock than those spandex Cowboy Wranglers.

Pro: Thick weight cotton knit provides excellent absorption and reduces chafing from boot legs. This sock is offered in smaller men's sizes, a rariety in boot sock sizing. These socks are long -long enough to fold the top over at boot top, either inside the boot or over boot edge.Gold Toe is a consistently great sock line. These boots socks offer good compression and stability. In short, these are an excellent value for a terrific boot sockLittle to no shrinkage or fabric loss in machine lint filter after machine washing and drying on normal settings. Excellent color retention. These socks aee holding up very well after months of daily use. I've purchased 4 3-packets.Neg: None noticed.
