ZEALWOOD Merino Wool Bamboo Silver Ion Athletic Socks - No Show, Ankle & Crew for Running, Golf, Tennis & Hiking - Moisture Wicking & Odor Resistant Performance Socks for Men & Women

Zealwool socks are my favorites so I bought the short ones for my son. Unfortunately, there are little rubber grips on the heel, which he didn't like. I assume they prevent the socks from slipping down.I wear these socks daily. I have found them top notch and really help with my neuropathy.I ordered a large for a men's size ten shoe, they are very tight. Should have ordered an xl unless I was shipped a mediumSocks felt good putting them on, kept my feet pretty sweat-free during the one walk I took wearing them, but the issue I had with them is the design. The toe and heel parts of the sock are a more padded than the instep. I’ve got other socks like that and usually that’s fine, but the transition from the toe to the instep with these socks was located so that it rubbed the bottom of my foot. By the time I finished my walk, my foot was sore and I gave up on the socks.I like the thickness of the sock and it does not come up too high. The top band is a bit tight.I wear a size 14 so maybe that's why they may be a little bit too snug but other than that the quality and also the if it is okay just a little bit tight other than that good quality thanks again AmazonFit was much smaller then expected. Appear to be constructed well with good quality materials. I was also hoping for more stretch with these socks but that was not the case. Overall appear to be made well, sizing runs small and not much stretch with this brand. Not what I was hoping for, was looking for something reasonably close to Smartwool sock and this is not it.Took the new socks on a 20 mile bike ride and I had no issues with them being too tight. My feet felt great and did not get too hot and sweaty. Great buy.
