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.

Yes. Although these aren't a heavy weight sock, they are very warm for wearing in a cold house without slippers.

Yes, they stretch, which eases taking them on/off. Still comfortable to wear.

I believe you fins might be a little too small if they reach the opening, but I would have to say yes. The material of the sock is very thick to prevent this from happening.

Absolutely not! That is what is great about these as well. I find I have to push them down sometimes just because I pull them too high up. It doesn't matter where I "set" them...they stay. Even pairs I have had for a while that have been washed and slightly loosened. They stay put.

There is an oval relief pattern on the top which I really only noticed this morning when paying attention. I don't find it uncomfortable and my feet are pretty sensitive to surfaces.

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

I don't know personally...but my wife has cold feet all the time and when she wears these she does not! She has been very happy with these socks.

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

Quite the contrary. They are mostly air and it feels like I'm hardly wearing any socks at all.

There should be. I wore a pair of wool socks for warmth and comfort because I didn't have neoprene socks with me. My socks got wet, but my feet weren't as cold as they would have been without them on a very windy and cold canoe trip.

I don't have the packaging anymore so please take that into consideration. My best guess is no. They feel like thick stretch t-shirt fabric.

No, just a comfortable woven sock. The top expands to look like an open weave and stays up. I like mine, pity that white is the only color. I like my colors lol

No, they are not, but my husband and I both like them because they are comfortable, they stay up and they do not pinch or squeeze the leg area because of the elastic. These socks have held up well. They won't last for ever, but we like them so much we have gone back and purchased them several times. We ordered the larger size and it works for both of us. We are so glad that we found them. We did not want anything heavily cushioned. Good luck with your decision.

They leave some marks on my legs. I don't need them but I don't like how most socks are made today, like Hanes, which are tighter than they used to be and don't last anymore. These socks are very comfortable and durable but they do leave some marks and an indentation around the band. If you don't want indentations, maybe try 100% wool socks.

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.
