These are great socks! They fit well and are high enough on the calf to stay put and not fall beneath the top of my boots. I highly recommend these socks.

Really nice socks, a little pricey but worth it. I have worn these for several years. They hold up. My first set finally started wearing holes in the bottom area after a couple of years, not bad though. I bought these new ones and they appear to be even better quality than the originals 5.11 socks. Very nice!

These socks were acquired free with a pair of 5.11 ATAC boots as a promotion. I have owned them for about 3 months now, and wear them at work a couple of times a week. I'm a Paramedic, and usually work 24 or 48 hour shifts. Sometimes we get to sleep at work, sometimes not. Sometimes we have enough downtime to shower as well, but not always. Needless to say my socks can get quite a work out. Before I got these I was using cotton socks exclusively. I've recently read some of the wool socks benefits, but I havent used any, so I cant compare these to the newer wool socks. However compared to cotton socks these dry much faster. Are more comfortable to wear for extended periods. Also though I'm not sure if these are supposed to have any antimicrobial properties, but they also seem to keep the smell to a minimum after being sweaty, and on for 48 hrs straight. As I've only had these for about 3 months I cant comment on the longevity, but I will probably purchase some more soon.

No one can argue with FREE, when the free item is a 3pk of socks with my purchase. I have worn 5.11 socks over the last 2 years in over 100 degree weather. Now, I will be in colder temperatures, and so far, the socks have lived up to the claim of comfort

These socks are great, and the service from Opticsplanet is even better. I've used these socks for around 7-8 months before I decided to do a review on them. They have held up very, very well for the abuse they've been through. They are almost still like new after everyday use. Great buy from a great company!

I love these socks and wear them both with boots and dress shoes. They work well, and I finally bought a bunch more pairs since my original 3 are starting to get holes in them after 2 or 3 years. They work well to keep your feet cool in the summer, but for the cold part of our winters in Maryland, they do not do a lot to keep you warm.

the best socks ever. they allow your feet to breath in whatever boots or shoes you are wearing. the differant layers and textures help wick moisture away. I wear the everyday all day and am going to but more.
