I wear a size 13 - 14 and I prefer my socks to come up to at least the middle of my knees. These socks don't come up to the middle of my shins but you will never see my actual leg while I'm sitting down and my dress pants are pulled up a bit. That's all I ask for, aside from the excellent texture of the socks. They're so comfortable and silky that I freaking wear them around the house after a long days worth of work. For the price they are excellent! 5 stars!
