It is very difficult for me to find reasonably priced socks for my big clod hoppers? These socks turned out to be better than expected. Nice and soft, and generously sized. Medium weight perfect for everyday wear. Yeah, they don't stay pulled up too well, but I find that is the case (at least for me) unless the sock comes all the way up and over my calf like a knee sock. These really only come half way up my calf on me ....
