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!

These socks are mid calf and are warm. My husband used them when he broke his leg and found them to be quite comfortable.

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

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.

These socks are basically regular, stretchy socks with the cuff ending up slightly above the ankle. They are NOT as plush as women's spa socks. Hope this helps.

No, but why would you put a Kneedit above the knee? It's designed to support the knee from below. My Kneedit would accommodate a calf about 15 1/2" in diameter.

They seem to fit snug and firm all the way up there doesn't seem to be any elastic at the top. I have large calfs and they do not bind or fall down. They are wonderful and warm.

Yes, they fit over work boots...they are huge! Haven't washed them yet so not sure and it doesn't say anything on them.

Yes. Definitely mid-calf. But I would buy a size larger. Although they are very sturdy and comfortable, there is some slight shrinking you may experience that I forgot to mention in my review. I hope this is helpful.

Not to be evasive, but there are different thicknesses of men's dress socks. I would not say that these socks are "thin," like a formal over-the-calf dress sock, but they are about the same thickness as a Gold Toe brand "fluffy" sock that my husband wears often. Those "fluffies" socks are mid calf socks, very soft. If you can find these Gold Toe socks in a store near you, that will help you understand the thickness of the Underarmour Heatgear socks. They are definitely a more casual sock. Hope this helps a bit.

No, because the material stretches and in your case, the material will stretch to accommodate your calf and won't be baggy. I found it to be just right.

Actually, despite the fact that most Nike products run small, and some of their Dri-Fit socks can be really tight over the calf, this one really isn't. It's actually quite loose around the calf area. Almost too loose I would argue. It's a fairly loose fitting sock in general... so if you have bigger calves like me, they might work out for you and feel really comfortable. Otherwise, if you have smaller calves, they might be too loose for you. It really depends on how you feel they fit....

I don't think they would fit over the of the average calf with a mx boot on. I would say most mx boots offer good shin protection and would work well a smaller knee pad but are way to restrictive for mountain biking which these are built for.

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

Hello My son wears these socks when he plays football. They have slight padding for protection at the heel. They are snug and supportive and offer mild compression, especially at the arch. Hope this helps.

I am sorry, I do not wear high socks. I would test for you, but do not own any. My socks are ankle socks.

No, for that you might want to try light weight Smartwool socks. These are for hot weather, they are very thin.
