I was hoping these might be a bit thicker than the Wrangler boot socks I bought, so I gave them a try. They are okay. They run big. WAY big. These come up way past my knee, by a good 3 - 4 inches. That, of course, means that if you don't pull them 1/8th of the way up your thigh, you have all this extra sock material gathering around your knee. Which in turn provides something to get pulled down into your boot, allowing the sock to start bunching up. Not to mention it's just uncomfortable to have a big ole wad of sock piled up around your knee. These socks are also rather large throughout, not just at the top, so the fit was just not very good and I found myself constantly fiddling with them to try to eliminate rubbing points where the sock was sagging.

Despite being overly large and "baggy," they somehow managed to be almost tourniquet-tight at the top of my leg. I don't have huge calves. These cut off my circulation and were downright uncomfortable to wear.

These socks do have nice cushioning, and I like the material, in general. If the fit was better, this would be a great sock. I considered trying a medium, if I could find one, since I do have a small boot size. But the ridiculous length of this sock would still be an issue. I would think that a smaller size would be even tighter at the top. I don't really want to lose a leg. I just want a decent boot sock.

So, my opinion is that the Wrangler over the calf boot sock is still the best.  Won't buy these again. Disappointing.
