I'm so tired of socks with tops that are too small for my calves. it makes no sense. Do most men have calves that small? I seriously doubt it, so what's up? I doubt I'll ever find out about this, so I decided to buy socks like these, or a little higher, just above the ankle so I don't have deep dents in my calves after a few socks. hrs. Other, similar socks I've tried kept slipping to the point where they no longer covered my heels and formed bumps in my boots. I wear them almost all day and still find them comfortable and still cover my heels. What could I want more? I will buy more of these in the future.
