These socks stay up around the calf for a long time.  They are a bit thick but you would expect that for thermal socks.  Not too itchy.  They absorb moisture well and are don't overheat in boots over a long day.  However, I don't work outside so I can't really comment about performance under those conditions.  Should be odor resistant but they are new to me so can't comment yet.  Very comfortable, I enjoy sleeping with them on.

Would recommend them for guys that wear boots.  A little snug in cowboy boots but work boots are comfortable.
