These are nice socks and are comfortable for certain uses. I wear a 10.5 shoe and I ordered a large pair which should fit shoe sizes 10 - 12,however they feel small to me and I think men with larger feet will probably have a problem with size. Also, I purchase them to wear with my low cut hiking shoes, and these socks just barely clear the top of the shoes. They are listed as Ankle height and from the photo appear to reach above the ankle, but in reality they fit just below the ankle. I will not take a chance on hiking with them. They will probably do OK with my cycling shoes or just for knocking around in.

I love bridedale socks they are the only socks I run in. But these seem a little on the cheaper make than usual. They are already coming apart a little bit. I usually have these socks for many months before they show wear. I have a size 7 shoe and I can wear the mens.

I just wore these socks on a 3+ hour bike ride and didn't notice any issues with my feet. I figure that these socks helped to keep me cool and comfortable and avoid any hot spots that might appear as a result of friction.
