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

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.

Bought these as a holiday gift for my homeless friend. Dark color doesn't show stains since he can't wash clothes. Wicking material keeps his feet dry during rainy season or just for daily wear. At / Below knee depending on height - my friend is 6'3" so they reach his knees & keep him warm when he's hanging out or sleeping. Thickness offers alot of warmth.If you or your friend aren't homeless, these socks are still an amazing buy!

My husbands favorite socks. He is tall and hates that most socks only come halfway up his calf then slide down. He loves these because they are taller and stay up. He has been using these for many years and will not even try something else he loves them that much.

Item is as advertised.These socks are fantastic and while a bit pricey, are competitively priced.I would highly recommend them and purchasing from this seller.Shipping was fulfilled by the seller and arrived sooner than noted on Amazon!Will probably purchase again soon from this seller.

Love these socks. They look great and I look great during my workouts with them pulled up high! I always wash my clothes in cold water with more delicate/natural ingredient detergents. I dry on low temp in an attempt to not damage my clothes or quicken their wear. Unfortunately, these socks do not hold up very well. I have purchased them multiple times because they deteriorate....the fabric is noticeably weak and aged, even with my (what I think) is a less harsh cleaning process. This happens within just a few months and with perhaps bi-weekly washing on average.My suggestion would be to air dry these socks. That way the soft, comfy cotton will last longer.

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.

Great product, quality through and through

I bought both Gold Toe, and Galiva since one person said that Gold Toe was better, and I wanted to see which one was, since you probably seen that I gave this 5 stars, then yes Gold Toe is better. First I thought that Galiva was king, since it's first time worn, but the amount of fuzz it left, I didn't like it. Gold Toe didn't leave anything like that. The first time I expected some, but Galiva left way too much, Gold Toe barely any. Gold Toe also holds up better after a wash, barely any difference, with before and after. This also holds better around your leg, and not see through. It just does what a sock should do. Also I'm 5'9", ft:10.5 ordered the large, mostly got medium, but those were always a bit tight around my feet, I was worried that the large would go over my knee(since I don't exactly have long legs), but no just below it, like it says. The Fabric has the strands that are thick, so when it stretches it isn't see through, the other one(Galiva) stretches well but it becomes see through from up close; even though I still enjoy wearing them, for the softness, there's just more fuzz then I care to have/deal with, and there are practically none with Gold Toe. Considering the price of both of these socks, I think Gold Toe will fair anyone better, as it barely changes, from washes/uses, holds up well, does it's job of a sock, and I don't know what else to say of how good it is.Did a video review for Galiva where I also compare both of them, didn't let me post it on amazon so it on youtube, I'm working on a video review for this one, but the ending will be the same; comparing both socks.
