      Thanks guys. I hate slipping socks, so nothing for me.

        @Max:

        Do they fit snug? I love the colours but hate it when socks are too loose.

        i have one pair size large (wearing´em right now!) and i have to say that the foot fits near to perfect. only complaint i have is that the upper part of the sock doesn´t hold up so well…it slips while walking...

        That's why I went with medium. I'd rather they be a bit too snug and stretch to my contours then start off a little too big and uncomfortable.

          ^i don´t think it has to do with that since the actual bottom part (the foot!) fits perfect, it´s just that the shin part is slipping down…but since they´re not our usual tennis socks i think that it´s ok!

            I'm a UK9 and took size L which I'd say fit pretty much perfectly, not tight, not loose and the heel in the right place.

            Good to know, I take a UK 9/9.5 in a wide fitting, so they should work out well for me. Just waiting for Mr UPS man…

              99.5 - I dont think they'll fit.  But if like me you take 95 wide, they'll be fine…..

                Ops! Corrected… A UK 9G or US 10 EE is my best fit, depending on the make/style. Actually just got some new 062 Blunnies today in a UK 9.5 (half size is just extra width), and they perfectly. I've been wearing the 500's too big for years, but they didn't used to sell half sizes over here. Should go well with the new socks!

                  And some pictures:



                  They feel good, not too tight, not too loose. Should be perfect after a wash and tumble dry.

                    So, I am on the verge of having worn through a pair in a day's worth of wear. Not impressed.

                        Mine should be here soon. That's a pity, thought they were going to be a good buy. Did you exercise or anything in them?

                          No, just a day's worth of walking in a pair of hikers.

                            Wow, I wonder who else got the same results after a full day of wear.

                            I'll see long my last, as I do a lot of walking.

                              I love them I bought every color. I have not had any issues at all. They have been worn with Vans, Alden 405's and Alden Longwings.

                                i've had a fair pairs over the years & they have always held up pretty well. i feel for shoreman as he seems to have a hard road to go when it comes to purchases in general.

                                  They're mostly sizing errors, so I can live with the fact that I consider it learning more than anything else. Who knows, it might simply be because my boots are a bit too big and it's creating some friction with the fabric. I'll have to look into it.

                                    I bought a few pairs in the summer for my own use.  Loved them so much, I decided to stock them. All my original pairs are still intact….

                                        I have 7 pairs 3 large and 4 medium (ordered by mistake). The mediums actually fit better because they don't droop. My shoe size is 11.5. All pairs are holding up very well. I have had some for over a year.

                                          My size large are fine, but I'm borderline size-wise I think, so I'm going to try the medium as well, and the wool version if they come into stock.
