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

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.

Best socks ever!

Durability, comfort & length make these the best socks I've owned.

He is TALL wears boots often and has REQUESTED these socks! They are long enough the actually reach his knee and stay up.

Normally I don't write reviews, but I had to say something about these socks. Let me start off by saying I am a 6'1" 290 lb man who wears a size 13EEEE boot. So as you can imagine I have very big calves, I like my socks to go over my calves but have never really been able to find one that would either go over my calf or stay up. The best i could find was a tube sock but they would never stretch out enough to go over my calf so I would wind up stretching them by hand but by doing that would end up by ruining the top of the sock and therefor they would never stay up and I would end up pulling up my socks constantly all day long. So I was quite surprised to find these socks on amazon, I ordered 3 pair not knowing if they were the same as all the other socks I had. To my surprise they stretched easily over my big calves and go all the way up to my knees and stay up ALL day long without to having to pull them up constantly. I liked them so much I ordereed another 3 pair that just came in today. These will be the only socks I will be ordering from now on, I went thru my sock drawer and thru out all the other stretched out socks. I don't know how long they will last because I've only had them for a week, but they are a nice thick sock.
