my husband was always wearing the tall socks year around and in the summer he would push them down but still would say my feet are hot. so what is a wife to do but go on amazon and buy him some ankle socks.he loves them i'm just glad that they had the bigger socks cause he has a big foot. i'm also glad that i got them at a great price. he wears them and loves them. they are comfty. they are cushion but they are not hot in the summer & we already are getting over 100 degree weather down here in the south. they look good when he wears his shorts and his jeans. they have the hanes name on the bottom of the toes.they do stand up to men. so if you have a man with a big foot i would buy these cause they come at the right lenght of the ankle. great buy great to wear anytime of the year.
