I had read the "I am a dude backyard footbal review" and decided to give these a try because I am also a dude. Despite coming of age in the late 80's and early 90's when knee high socks were falling out of fashion and ankle lengths were coming into there own, I have always liked to break out the knees highs from time to time. When looking for funky styles this one caught my eye. At 6'3" and 210 a decent sized novelty knee high is tough to find as a lot are unisex sized which generally top out around size 11 when fully stretched. I wear a 12. These actually fit well in the foot but up on the calf are way to tight and I don't have super large calves. The cuff feels like it is cutting in. These ended up going to the wife as they were just a touch to small. They do have a good look to them, just not a full size sock for a larger person. They are also very thin. This is neither bad nor good depending on the temps or your activity, just wanted to make note they they are more like a thick nylon then an athletic sock. (PS the tag on the sock does say "women's sock" so that does explain the sizing. Stylewise thay are unisex but sizing is small)
