I like these socks way more than I expected I would. I have large calfs and these fit over them great. I don't have to wrestle them on! They are a little tighter at the bottom and top of my shins which make them great for helping to keep my shin guards up. They are comfy and feel like good quality. This is the first pair of soccer socks that I got that weren't adidas or Nike and I was hesitant (I'm a soccer brand snob...) but I really don't like spending a ton on socks especially when most of them are too tight on my calves. I really feel like these are a great value. They feel like they'll last a decent amount of time too.Great, durable material. I use these for softball and they're great for sliding. They don't tear and neither do my legs. They breath well too. As a consequence of all these beneficial traits, they also have a tendency to get dirt inside of them. But hey, you're playing softball, deal with it.I am not compensated in any way for this review.I got a large and with my 12B size feet, they are a bit loose in the foot area which isn't optimal for tight shoes. However, the material and cut are great. The calf part actually contours so they are easy to get on/off and don't slide around or cut off circulation like simpler "tube" designs. The length was plenty for my 6' height so I might go down to a medium if I did it again.I looked everywhere for cheap and good quality socks that can hold my chin-guards and that are long...well i found them!! I got them within 4 days, they are kind of elastic. My shoes number is 10 and i got large and it was just PERFECT!!! The socks goes a little bit over my knee, i just fold it and im good! Hold my chinguard nice and tie and for the first time i played a full game without game without have to worry about my socks falling!! JUST AMAZING!! Im ordering another set but differect color!! :)This socks are great, the material and design looks good however i order large size (I'm 5.11) and these socks runs a little big but for 6 bucks i can get a medium size anytime.... I washed twice and so far so goodProbably 3.5 stars, great color but thinner in the heel area then Adidas , although better than certain Adidas modelsor Puma socks which to me are higher quality but as far as value these are a good value at this priceNice soccer socks. They come up high and hold the chin guard in place. They breath well and are quite comfortable on. I use them for practice, as I have a uniform for games, but they could certainly be used in games as well. Not sure about durability as I just started using them, however they do feel very well made.I bought these because I needed tall socks to wear under my riding boots. It is a good thing I did not get them for their intended purpose because there is NO way I could fit shin guards under these for actually playing soccer. The size is correct for my foot (size 12), but neither the diameter of the sock nor the elasticity is sufficient to comfortably fit around my upper calf. They are TIGHT, and after 3 wears/washes, there is little hope they will break in. I will also say that I am neither overweight nor a muscular person. I am a 190lb, 6’ tall male with average build. This is simply a poorly tailored product.these socks help me get back to running by compressing my lower leg well, which dampens down impact injuries such as shin splints.i just wish they came in multiple - and more sensible - colours so that my legs don't look like that of a duck's when running beside a lake.
