Customer Review: great sock!
Rating: 5 Stars
Once a year, I buy a pair of these socks for every day of the week for my husband. He throws the old pairs away (no matter what condition they are in) and I replace them with fresh. He wears them every single day. They stay up and match everything. It makes doing laundry a breeze!Customer Review: When they say "over the calf", they mean it

So I bought the regular length Canterbury socks, and they were too short, so ended up falling down all the time. I figured that I'd get these, and they'd be a regular dress-sock length and go to just above the curve of the calf.
But, um, no. The tops of the socks actually come right up to my knee, stopping just shy of bunching up at the joint. On the one hand, no force on this earth could make these socks sag, which is good; on the other hand, they're a minor pain to get on. I actually had to get hosiery advice from my wife (roll the top down, put your foot into the bottom part, and then unroll the sock up your leg), which is disturbing.
More disturbing is feeling like I should be donning a tunic and heading off to a Ren Faire. But if you can get past the oddness, well, you're sure as heck not going to have baggy socks.
Customer Review: A wardrobe staple

I wear these socks every day to work and it is hard to find anything bad to say about them. They create a sharp, professional look (no exposed calf) and stay up all day even though I spend a lot of time walking and standing. Pants drape normally, as opposed to the Metropolitan line which creates quite a bit of static cling and will cause your wool pants to stick. I am 5'9", wear a size 9 shoe and have relatively thin calves and these socks fit perfectly. They are also quite durable, showing some wear at the heel only after years of use. I have not found them to fade despite repeated washing but the shade does vary slightly from pack to pack, if you own numerous pairs as I do you might have to spend a little time sorting them.Customer Review: NOT AS GOOD SINCE MADE IN CHINA

FIRST LET ME SAY THAT I'VE BEEN WEARING THESE SOCKS FOR MANY YEARS,IN FACT THIS WAS MY FOURTH ORDER OVER THE YEARS. UNTIL THIS BATCH I'VE HAD NOTHING BUT PRAISE, IN FACT THE ONLY REASON THAT I REPLACED THEM WAS THAT THE COLOR FADDED. THATS NOT TO SAY THAT THESE ARE BAD BUT JUST NOT AS GOOD AS THEY USED TO BE. THEY ARE ADVERTISED AS 70% COTTON WHEN IN FACT THEY ARE ONLY 60% COTTON HENCE THEY SOME TIMES CLING TO YOUR SLACKS, AND WHEN FOLDING TO PUT AWAY IN THE DRAW, THEY JUST DON'T KEEP THEIR SHAPE THE WAY THE OLD ONES DID. UNFORTUNATELY THEIR STILL THE BEST AVAILABLE SO I HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE BUT TO KEEP THEM. WHEN I WAS A YOUNG MAN ALL THESE PRODUCTS WHERE MADE IN THE GOOD OLD USA, I JUST HOPE THAT SOMEDAY THEY WILL START MAKING THEM IN THIS COUNTRY AGAIN, BECAUSE THE QUALITY WAS SO MUCH BETTER.Customer Review: Mediocre at best

Purchased these socks because of the reviews. I got three packs of these, and each pair in each pack had one sock that would hold up well and one that would fall down pretty quickly. I found this odd since they go up to your knee and initially were pretty tight around my calf.
Another issue is that my pants stick to the material, so sometimes the pant leg gets bunched up a bit.
These socks are ok at best, and a bit disappointing considering the $20 per pack I paid. For now I'll just have to get used to shaking my leg when I walk and pulling my socks up 3-4 times a day.
