Do these have a "binding" feel at the top of the sock?

These socks come right up to under my kneecap where it is more "bony" than when on the calf. There is just a very slight compression to keep the sock up and from rolling down. Have now bought several pairs as they are most comfortable around and don't bind and compress on the ankle or calf.

I am a size 10 and wear the medium socks. They aren't tight or binding at all. The foot part of the sock does have a tendency to grow towards the end of the day. So while the Large will fit and stay up, you may have the heel sticking out of the top of your shoes by evening. With that in mind, I still love these socks. They are long wearing, stay up without digging in, and comfortable.

It appears to be. They do stretch. But they do feel tight when first put on. I do not have a big hand and they felt tight for me.

Yes. I wear them over my socks, although the bands may be too large for very young children's feet (they're elastic but not adjustable).

Not really. My husband wears these over his compression socks and actually wears two pairs so that they stay up. They are a good buy for the $$. They are not too tight at the top which has always been a problem for him.

Yes they do. Be careful not to over dry them though or they might be too snug to stay on well.

I had not thought of them as compression socks, but in a way they are a light compression because the upper sock retains its hug on your calf nicely, unlike some discount socks that stretch out quickly so you have to tug them up your leg and back in place after a while. The foot portion is not as 'huggy', but it holds its shape and position on your foot nicely. They are very comfortable!

No the socks are what I'd describe as a thick nylon but are still comfy. Only thing to worry about is the cape. My capes are starting to unstring but it's a quick fix.

What a good question! I searched the bag the socks come in--no luck. They feel like they are made out of cotton or cotton blend.

No. there is a seam on the toe section. However, the socks are thick enough that I had not even noticed until I saw your question.

I think they are. I have worn Eddie Bauer wool socks before I got these socks and I think these are much warmer. I love mine!

Yes. They have metal screw-like things protruding out of them so they dig into your shoe. They're very grippy.

No, personally they did not feel overly warm, but they are obviously different than wearing the "Crocs" type of shoe in that there is no holes for ventilation. I chose these as I wanted clean feet (without chance of the dirt getting inside the shoe) when digging in the dirt - and they did just that for me!

Yes there is a band but it is not tight, It leaves no mark as others do but still holds the sock up

Yes. The are very comfortable socks. We wear them for everyday socks as well as sport socks.

Yes, I ironed these labels on my mother's socks. I positioned them so they would be on the side of the foot, not on the sole, just in case there was an issue with comfort. They have stayed on fine.

I think so. I've worn them for a few hours with no issue. My son wears them more often and never complains about the comfort.
