Are these socks over the calf?

Definitely. That said, I (senior female) wear Men's Medium in compression socks; they always reach my knee--these comfortably so. I am also athletic, with well-developed calves. So, yes!

They are thinner than regular socks so I would say no. They are not real rough.

Yes, I would say that is about correct. But it might depend a bit on the diameter of a persons calf. They are an excellent value.

I just measured mine (never done it before haha) and they are 16". These fit pretty tightly on the calf. Not sure if there is a trick. Sorry but I'm not much help

It would probably do like the over the calf tube soks, and that is only pulls them on over the heel, then you have to position them and finish pulling them up.

no. MY wife uses them as compression socks for calf and ankle swelling. They work fine.

Yes they are a generous knee high length. The picture is very deceiving. I am 5'6 and have muscular calves and they are perfect. Love these socks!!

No, for that you might want to try light weight Smartwool socks. These are for hot weather, they are very thin.

I don't think they look like medical socks. They don't leave an indention in my legs.

I have worn it above lace up tactical boots that go about two inchs above the ankle with no problem. If the boot tops went much higher than that I don't think they would reach around the calf.

Yes, I use thigh high ones. It is important to pull the sock over frame until you get to the heel. The heel material is noticeable so you can see it and stop after it is pulled to top. I found if I put my foot into the sock at that time then I had enough toe room. The form cannot be pulled all the way up the leg but having help on the lower part of leg made all the difference in getting socks on.

I purchased the sock size that fit my shoe size (which was a medium). I have a 15 inch calf and the socks fit quite comfortably. I have problems with fitting socks over my calves. Not so with these.

They are indeed tight, and narrow, but not over the calf. They are lower than that.

They tend to fit me more up under the knee, and not around the widest part of my calf. I'm 6ft tall, and never had an issue with them feeling too tight wearing them all day (in and out of snow) while working. Don't even remember any red elastic type marks on skin common to tight socks.

I bought the large. I am NOT large but had some trouble previously with compression socks. The large digs in and leaves marks around the calf just below my knees. Almost like black and blue circle going around the calf. I suggest you try the large and see how they fit you. I need a larger sock but cannot seem to find any. Hope this helps.

These socks are mid calf and are warm. My husband used them when he broke his leg and found them to be quite comfortable.

Yes. But the sizes are a range. Socks come in sizes, like "size 8-10" so you have to search in your size range. Hope this helps.
