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 should work. I'm 5'5 and I pulled them up high this past weekend (as a matter of fact), and it was just across the middle of my knee cap. Normally I wear them just under the knee like any standard knee high sock. Hope this helps.

I purchased these for my son and he loves them. He says they fit well and are very comfortable. Yes, they are stretchy around the calf.

No. These are very nice slippers with high insulation value. Not over boots.

Compared to a white crew sock, they are a good bit thicker. COmpared to a boot sock, not so much. They do NOT come all the way to your knee... they are about the height of a crew sock... about mid calf. My husband said that they are keeping his feet very warm. WE had to invest in all this at one time which was a substantial amount for "underwear" but it's been worth every single penny. Yes, you'd be toasty on a motorcycle. The good thing about buying Amazon is if you get them and they're too thick, send them back and quickly get a refund. Hope this helps.

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.

I don't think they look like medical socks. I have large calves and they aren't to tight for me

they are very wide on the calf. they flop a lot - make sure you wear socks with them for best comfort.

They are a bit thicker than a normal sock. Wouldn't so much say they are great for for winter.

I purchased these for my mother (size 9.5 womens) who has extremely swollen feet. These socks are thick and stretchy. Since you are in the middle of the two sizes, I think the question becomes what are your personal preferences in terms of how high you want the sock coming up your calves. If you want them on the lower side I would get the 8-11.

no, they try to not compress the feet or calves. They still stay up pretty well and are very comfortable.

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.

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.

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.

No, these are thermal socks. They are used to keep your feet warm in cold climates.

All soccer socks, including these, are meant to be worn over the shinguards. However, these are also thin.

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.
