After getting ripped off with my last bunch of 'over the calf' socks that were way too short, these ones here are more like it. I actually owned this type before-- look for the word HANES spelled out at the toe. I asumed these would be the same type exactly, and they were. Plenty long enough, and for sure they aren't one of those rip off, false advertised, half up the calf, wanna-be's.
