Darn Tough  Paul Bunyan Over-the-Calf Full-Cushion Work Socks - Men's

Same cushion and feel as the hiker full cushion, But they are extremely tight around the calf muscles. I tried them on and chose not to keep the socks and return for the hiker boot socks. The mountaineering socks are tight on the calves but these were uncomfortable around the base of the calves due to being tight. The lower portion had the same feel as the hiker/boot which i love. Would have kept them if they were looser on the calves and some cushion in the calf part.

I bought two pair of these a few months back and now bought 3 more pair just in last week. I LOVE these socks specifically for work. They have a lot of cushion for the physical demands of my job, I am on my feet most of the time. I wear Ankle Foot Orthotics (AFOs) and these socks actually go over my calves which is difficult to find socks these days that do that (I have resorted to normally buying soccer socks in the past, but that has changed! I am a female with a women’s size 9 = men’s 7, they fit great and are not constricting around my legs. I would not classify these for hiking, but I might use them for that.

My husband is a farmer and he works outdoors all day, every day. His socks are constantly wearing through and getting holes in the heel or the toe area. Wool wears MUCH better than other materials.

I have bought other Darn Tough OTC socks before, these are truly OTC!! These are not as tight fitting as others and actually fit OTC. These are thick and cushioned in the right places! My new favorite socks and I just bought a second pair during the recent sale. I’m female with size 9 wide women’s sized feet, I chose medium size and they’re perfect for me. I think that equates to a men’s size 7. Other DT socks have never gone OTC for me, even though they were labeled OTC.

Excellent material and provides cushion and support on long hikes. Notably after numerous miles I had zero issues and relatively zero soreness in feet/ankles.

They keep feet dry while keeping a tough hold above the calf, and yet at the same time not squeezing the toes.

Strong durable and darn comfortable.

These wool socks are soft, warm, have the right amount of pressure to stay up, and do not constrict my legs and feet. I have found these to feel very dry, and not get stinky even in multi day situations. Worn mostly on colder days to keep me warm in my boots.

These socks are perfect lighter duty. I have several pairs for colder weather and also the shorties to wear with tennis shoes.

They are the best darn socks for boots because they never slip down and keep feet dry.
