I can't blame this on the sock, but I was really looking for the ones with essentially no "top portion".  I accidentally bought these.  Too much of a bother to return them, but not really what I was looking for.

That said, they do nicely keep any part of my sneaker from rubbing my skin when I'm biking so not all bad.  They just look a hair less "cool" than the really short ones.

Snug but comfortable fit.
