Too short to be called "over the calf"

I was hopeful buying these, but those hopes died a quick death when I tried the first one on. The foot portion is great, but they are a tall "crew sock" height at best. Came to mid point on my calf muscle, and were so tight at the ribbed top they were painful. I would not try these if your calf runs higher than maybe 11 inches above the ankle. Shame on you, Hanes.
