Over the Calf Socks

If you are anything like me, you don't like socks that hang down around your ankles whether they are designed that way or whether they are over the calf socks that slide down and end up there. Over the calf socks need to stay there - over the calf - and remain there all day long without having to constantly be pulled up.

Over the calf socks also need to be comfortable and long lasting with extra cushioning and stitching at the major wear points such as toes and heels.
