I have peculiar sized feet which are big and wide. These socks are leagues better than the smaller sizes you find at Target or other stores, but are still not stretchy enough around the calves for my comfort level. I'm not a fan of socks that have a death grip on your feet, especially halfway below the knee.

It takes some time to break them in and conform the material to the contours of your feet. The downside to breaking them in I've found is the pads tends to wear out over time creating holes, especially from multiple washes. They're a decent product, but not as durable as I'd hoped. I'm sure like shoe sizes, your experience may vary.
