are these over the calf socks?

Depending on the size of your calves. They went up mid calf height on my mother. And they go 3/4 calf height on me! They are wonderfully gentle and THEY DO NOT BIND THE LEG. We love them.

For me the socks were not over the calf. I found them to run small in size and I gave them away. I went to the local BIG store and bought some diabetic socks.

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.

No, there is a seam across just back of the toes on top only. I did not know it was there until I looked because I had never felt any discomfort from the seam. I am very satisfied with the socks.

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.

I would say no. I am on my feet all day and I wear support stockings with a short pair of crew socks over them and that solves the problem. By the way, when I bought Miracle socks on amazon, they were not near as tall on the calf as the ones I got from Walmart. I don't know why that is, but they were and I couldn't use them.

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

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!

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.

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.

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.

These socks are 20-30 mmHg and they only come up to mid calf on me. Sockwell also makes a knee hi with slightly less compression. I like both.

HelloMy 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.

No. Not unless they were those short ankle boots...but are those really cowboy boots. :-)

I suppose it depends on the size of your calves but they are true knee socks on me.

It should, I purchased them for my husband whose calves are around 20 or so inches. But make sure they are the real thing. My box was different than the box I purchased from the store and shipped from China which made me think it was a bit of a knock off. Also the sock was a bit thinner. This was not something I had ever considered. I now check the sellers location to ensure its reliable. Happy New Year!

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.

Comes up just above the ankle. Darn tough does make boot socks that come up mid calf.
