Socks provide a nice cushion for the bottoms of my feet, and they fit my size 11 4E feet pretty well -- I need a loose sock due to foot problems.  My only wish is that the ankle portion was a couple inches shorter, and also that it did not have "ribs" in it which dent my calf and ankle a bit.  I haven't noticed the bad "linting" issue yet that some other people have mentioned.  All-in-all I will probably buy more in the future.
