These Gold Toe socks were a Christmas present for our son.  Matt is 6'5" and size 14 shoe.  Many of the local stores and sports apparel stores just do not carry extra large socks.  In a pinch, (no pun intended) Matt buys and wears socks that are just too small. Additonally these Gold Toe socks are soft on the inside and durable and wash well.  If you need extended size socks, these are the socks to look for!
