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 they do. Still haven't used them "officially" yet, but they're still in place; no shifting of unusual loosening. Godd luck to you!

No they don't. I have noticed that the white socks, which I wear infrequently and only in the house, are unraveling along the top. Only reason I can hypothesize is that the bleach (don't bleach the grey and they are fine) is weakening the fabric and eventually causing the unraveling.

Yes but it goes under the sole of my shoe so it doesn't bother me at all. I really like them and feel they give great support.

The ones I purchased (pink grips) have grips on the entire bottom of the sock including the toes.

Yes. They're elastic like a shower cap. They're small and wadded up, and will stretch to hug your foot.

No I would not describe them as such. They are basically a heavy hiking sock. They are great for warmth.

Hi Pam, sorry, I don't know if they do or not. I experienced calf muscle cramps while wearing them. They just were not for me.

No, they gripped just fine. The toe stop was VERY slippery, as it seemed to be a plastic rather than a rubber feel. That kind of stopper is fairly worthless. Lol

I can be sure but they do feel glued with foam in side. From what I remember. I'm traveling and can't go give them another feel right now.

No, they go mid-way up the calf on me (size 9 feet). They do stay up during the day and are comfortable all day. The only issue I have is that they are too wide in the foot and the fabric gathers right above the top of a dress shoe.

These stretch to a very thin sock vs wool dress socks. They feel like they would make you sweaty but they do a good job of keeping my legs/feet cool and not feeling sweaty at all.

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.

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 also tossed the wrapping but I would say the foot part of the socks are light weight 100% cotton -the calf part is cotton/nylon and stretches without leaving "marks". There is elastic 1/2 inch at top of sock to hold them up. My husband wears these socks with work boots every day with no complaints about the lightweight cotton. I wear the ankle socks and like the light weight cotton material. My feet swell and the only mark I get is right where that elastic holds the sock up. I highly recommend both types of the socks.Hope this helps.

There is a little "button" on the top to loosen them but the laces are also elastic to help with the fit.

I'm not certain how big my calves are, but about half the boots that I try on are too tight around my calf (probably a sign they are a bit larger). These socks are obviously going to be tight and can be tough to get on, but I am able to wear them and they not feel too tight.
