Decka - Cased Heavyweight Plain Socks

Anyone with a size 13 foot that can comment if these fit them?

Decided to give a pair of these a go and… wow… the hype is real. They fit and feel fantastic! Love the slightly textured feel on the sole too.
I am intrigued how they will cope with a wash/tumble and whether they can withstand my big toes trying to eventually poke their way through the end!
Unfortunately looking like this now means I have to replace my entire sock drawer….
Purple all the way

So I’ve been absolutely hammering my one ‘test’ pair and can report back the following:

I’m hooked and have ordered a few more (inevitably an entire sock drawer overhaul on the cards).
they don’t leave any indents or elastic marks on your legs and equally I don’t find they drop excessively either.
it may just be me but they don’t seem to be prone to ‘smelling’ as much as other socks? Not sure why, the low gauge knit? The fabric blend?
I find the thickness is perfect middle ground that works well with anything from converse to iron rangers and chukka style boots.
my wife now wants a pair to wear with her boots!

I was on the fence for a while with these so maybe these personal experiences helps anyone else who is!

How does these go with engineer boots?

I wouldn’t wear these with engineers. I don’t like how it feels when the top of eng. boots touch my skin. Stick with engineer socks. The IH eng socks worked great for me when I was wearing eng boots. They’re among the few I’ve had that didn’t slip down.

I wear them with my Mr. Lous nearly every time I wear them. While they do not reach the top of the boot (shank?), they are damn comfortable on my feet. If you don't like the feel of the boot leather touching your shin/calf up top, use longer socks.

With that said, @Daniel-San I finally ordered a pair of PURPLE ones! I think I'm up to a 10 or 11 pairs at this point.
