These are great socks. My only complaint/frustration Is getting the leg/calf portion of the sock past my heel. This may be an "operator error" on my part, because I usually don't wear socks that go that high up on the leg. But I find them very frustrating to put on. Otherwise, these are great, sturdy socks.Edit: I'm female, so I'm not sure how guys put on their sock. However, I was scrunching up the leg portion as if I were putting on stockings. This made it nearly impossible to get that bit over my heel. The socks go on easily without the scrunching! Upping my rating to 5 stars as the socks are very sturdy and warm!
