Too tight to wear with a sock, which would be much more sanitary. After wearing them for a few hours without socks, the bottoms of my feet are burning.
They're really light, with very little support.

These are a bit tight and take some getting use to, which seems odd for socks. I've never had an issue with socks being strangely tight across the bridge of my foot. And this tightness doesn't seem to ease-up after wearing them. It's not a big issue, but not entirely comfortable either. I wear a size 9 shoe and ordered/received the style for shoe sizes 6-12. I would recommend that anyone with a show size 7-10 to order the larger size.  Everything else about these socks are just fine.

Wanted to love these shoes, but they look best without a sock, and I would want to wear them with a sock occasionally. Color was great. Look was not too sporty. Comfortable shoe. I returned them though because of the sock issue.

I wanted to love these shoes, but they're so tight it was impossible to wear them more than a couple hours at time.

These socks were so tight I could not get them on the other socks by the same manufacture fit fine.  Very tight you would have to have small legs to even get these on.  Wish they fit because I liked the design.

Real tight at the toes. Needs to be stretched out to wear comfortably.

I loved everything about this boot, but it was (so) tight through the calves (and I have average calve); there was no way I would be able to wear them with skinny jeans or socks for that matter.  Frown.

These are way too tight in the calf, very difficult to put on. I am a runner, but don't have particularly large calves.

The socks fit on my feet, but are a little tight around my calves. I think I have small calves so someone with regular to large calves probably wouldn't have a comfortable fit.

Too tight around the ankle. The rest of the sock fits great and I can tell that it will be cooling. But, I have to be careful how long I wear it, because of the tight ankle

sock is fluffy and soft, not sure what happened with this pair but although the rest of the sock is fine, the opening is so small I can barely get it over my foot and it's ridiculously tight on my calves and i don't have big calves.  so these are not wearable for me.

Way too tight around the calves. I don't have crazy big calves or anything (I'm a skinny, 130lb male) but the large size socks (size 10 shoe) were so tight at the top that my calves were hurting after 20 minutes. Tried ordering XL but they were the same, only longer.
This is a shame, because these socks are otherwise very thick and cozy--I really wanted to wear them this winter!
Ended up getting a couple pairs of Smartwools that are very comfortable, though honestly don't seem as thick as these!

Definitely not the kind of boots made to wear over socks, leggings and jeans. I'm not a big girl even, but the part that zips up your calf was just too tight and uncomfortable.

I love the look of these shoes. I'm usually an 8.5 in Nine West shoes and boots. I cannot get my feet in these with thin socks on. Without socks, they are still pretty tight. Sadly, I'm going to have to send them back...

I wear a size 14 and the xl are to tight for me.  Overall the sock is very tight, especially around the top of the ankle. It is unfortunate because I really like how thin they are.  On a side note I ordered a medium for my wife (she is an 8) and her pair fit very well.  Maybe mine were defective.

Socks were too tight at the top.  I am diabetic and cannot wear these.  Quality is excellent.

The socks are very nice quality, soft and appear durable. The only issue is that for a larger person, the tops are much too tight and are not comfortable. I was not able to wear them, which was very disappointing.
