They feel and look like nice quality. The fit is not too tight. I usually wear 8.5 in womens but a 9 with inserts. I was afraid that the small would be too small because their sizing says 5.5-8 for small and 8.5-11 for medium. The small is still loose on my foot but the calf fits snugly. I think these are as nice as any out there, if not better quality. My advice is to choose a size closest to your max of footwear.
