Best Calf Socks for Men of 2025

"These are my favorite everyday socks. I'm a size 9 women's and they fit me perfectly. I initially bought them for fieldwork boots while traveling, but they've become my go-to for casual wear. They are mostly cotton, so not ideal for heavy hiking, but they are breathable and keep my feet comfortable. After wearing my first set for about a year, they developed holes in the heels, but I just purchased a new set four months ago and will likely buy more."

"I've been purchasing these socks for several years, and they've consistently been comfortable and durable at a great price. I truly appreciate their longevity."

"My husband has always complained about me taking his socks, but these thick and cozy Dickies socks have solved that issue. Now I can have my own stock without hearing any more complaints! They are built to last, and I can finally enjoy my own super comfy socks. Five stars—Dickies, you’ve won my heart!"

"I found these socks to be super soft with the perfect amount of stretch. They fit true to size, and the value is great for the number I received. The best part? I could finally throw away my husband's nasty old socks!"

"These Fruit of the Loom socks are comfortable and well-made. They are definitely over the calf, and I've been pleased with their durability. I will order again and would recommend them to anyone looking for what they promise."

"While I loved the overall quality, I found that the size M socks (6-12) only reach about 3/4 up my calf. I'm 6' tall with a size 10 shoe, so I learned to look for the Big and Tall size instead, which fit me perfectly!"

"I’m a white sock guy, and I’ve always relied on the classic Nike ribbed crew socks. However, I’ve found these to be the best white crew socks I’ve ever tried. They’re the perfect thickness—not too thin, just right for all seasons. Soft and comfortable, they fit my feet perfectly, slipping on easily without needing adjustment. Plus, they’re a great deal at $10 for a 6-pack. I’ve had mine for nearly six months, and they’re still in great shape after weekly use and washing."

"I received my socks quickly, and they were just as described—comfortable and durable. They’re the right thickness for my steel toe boots, and after several months of daily wear, I’m pleased to say they still don’t have any holes!"

"I bought these socks for my son, who wears a size 16 shoe. He absolutely loves them, and they fit him perfectly!"

"I've tried many work socks, but these are my favorite for their comfort and breathability. They're thin yet durable, perfect for warm days."

"I don't usually write reviews, but I had to share how amazing these socks are! They sit just below my calf and feel like silk on my feet."

"I've been looking for the right black sports socks. These have the padding I need without being too thick. They fit well and have held up exceptionally after months of use."

"I work 50 to 60 hours a week on my feet, and I go through socks and shoes quickly. I need well-constructed and comfortable socks that aren't too costly to replace. I appreciate that I can easily reorder the same socks without wasting time sorting and pairing."

"My husband wears these socks daily after work. He prefers a simple pair of socks for everyday wear. While they may not be as soft as his pricier options, they fit well and don't irritate his skin. The price is great and they are quite durable; he hasn't had any holes yet!"

"I used to wear Nautica casual dress socks, but they wore out quickly. I found these socks and they are thicker but comfortable. They stay up nicely and my feet don't sweat, even during this heat wave. I'm confident they'll last much longer than my previous socks!"

"I've found these socks to be a great deal because they keep my feet warm but not too hot. I appreciate having the option of 6 or 12 pairs, and I plan to buy another 6 pairs! The price is reasonable, and I can't find anything wrong with them."

"For about 11 years, I've been purchasing these Dickies mid-crew socks for my son. They keep his feet dry and comfortable during long workdays. A 12-pack lasts him at least 2 years, which is an amazing value. If you know someone who works hard, they'll definitely appreciate these socks!"

"I usually don't wear shoes at home, just socks. I've been sticking to this brand and style for a long time, probably buying around two dozen pairs. They're comfy and warm, and while I've worn some out, I still have high teens of pairs left. The only issue is slight differences in density and ankle size, which can make pairing a bit tricky, but even then, it's hardly noticeable."

"I was in search of new boot socks, and these are perfect. My calves are 17.250 inches around, and the stretch is just right—comfortable to pull up and they stay up without any pain. I wear a size 10.5 boot and ordered the large size. The elastic in the tube starts at the ankle and goes all the way up, with extra stretch available. The foot section is also comfortable, with added arch compression. The only minor issue is that the tube is a bit longer than I need, but I just fold it down. Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase, especially getting 12 pairs for under $60. An update: after a year of use, I ordered 6 more pairs in black, and they fit even better—no more folding down!"

"As a sock snob, working 10+ hours a day and walking over 10 miles, these socks have been a game changer for me. I used to wear Gold Toe, but their quality changed. If you want calf support, comfort, and to avoid sweaty feet, this is the sock for you. The 12-pack is reasonably priced, and they last longer than others."

"I grew up wearing long socks and always had issues with them staying up. I switched to these after years of Gold Toes. Now, I'm really pleased! At 6'1", these socks go all the way to my knee and stay up all day without needing adjustments. The gray socks are thicker and warmer, while the black socks are thinner and breathable enough for work. I just bought more black ones since I was so satisfied, but I noticed the new batch fits tighter and doesn't stretch as much. The chemical smell was strong when I opened the package, but overall I still recommend them."

"As a big guy with size 16 Extra Wide feet, it's tough to find socks that fit comfortably. These socks fit me perfectly, offering plenty of room without being tight. They even reach above my 20-inch calves, which is rare! They stay up all day without leaving marks and feel like wearing low compression socks. If you struggle with sock sizes, I highly recommend giving these a try!"

"I wear my cowboy boots almost every day, and these socks are a game changer! They stay securely on my calves and protect my skin from rubbing against the leather. They are tall, soft, and have a bit of cushion in the heel and toe, making them perfect for all-day wear. Plus, they're made in North Carolina!"

"These socks are a lifesaver for my husband. He struggles to find socks that don't slide down or bunch up in his work boots. They fit nicely over the calf, are incredibly soft, and have just the right amount of cushion. I ordered two sets, and they are worth every penny!"

"I work at the post office and spend long hours standing and walking. These socks have been through everything, and I still wear the same two packs I purchased since 2022. They are very comfortable, great fit, and breathable. They don’t get stinky after long shifts and are very durable. I even get compliments on their stylish knit pattern!"

"I have extra wide feet and often struggle to find socks that fit. I was drawn to these because they come in XL and XXL sizes. After wearing them for several months, I’m very pleased. They haven’t shrunk and don’t leave fuzz balls like others I’ve tried."

"These socks are soft and comfortable, fitting just right without being too tight. They feel normal thickness and are super soft. I've washed them a couple of times, and they still look great with no fraying. The stitching quality is impressive, and I think they’ll prove to be durable over time."

"I've been using the Golden Toe brand for years, but I noticed a decline in their quality while prices increased. So, I decided to try the Amazon Essentials brand. So far, I’m quite satisfied! They’re a bit thinner but softer than what I was using, and they seem to be holding up well after multiple washes. I’ve had no holes yet, which is a win! After my son started wearing them too, I bought more without hesitation."

"Initially, I hesitated to buy these socks due to the rising prices everywhere. But I’m glad I did! They're really comfortable, fit well, and I love that they lack any brand logos—just simple black and grey. Even after several washes, they’re still holding up nicely."

"I find these socks quite comfortable and reasonably priced. I've rated their durability a solid five stars, although it's still early to tell how they’ll last long-term. So far, they’ve held up well after several washes. I appreciate the reinforced heel and toe, which I didn’t find in my previous Costco socks."
