I like the bottom half (foot area).  But the calf is WAY too TIGHT!  I read reviews before I bought these, and the overall rating.  But I must have missed the other reviewers (22) who mentioned that the calf was too tight for them -- or else thought that tightness would not bother me.

I am not overweight and I do not have real muscular calves.  I have normal sized ankles and lower calves and I have never come across crew socks this tight.  I considered keeping them and pushing down the tops to my ankles - or stretching them over a piece of wood to loosen them.  But I don't like the first and I am not sure the second would work even the nature of the yarn.

Sorry, Hanes, but I am returning these -- and I will read the reviews more carefully on the next ones I buy.
