- mens Athletic Ankle Socks, Breathable, Cotton Blend, Cushioned

As a big and tall guy with size 14 feet, finding socks that fit comfortably has been a constant struggle. For years, I settled for regular-sized socks from big box stores, which led to squished toes and constantly having to pull off my shoe to adjust my socks just to get through the day. My previous attempt at finding affordable, larger socks (a Gold Toe knock-off) ended in disappointment; they fit well but wore out almost instantly. I quickly understood why they included extra pairs—you needed them! After tossing another worn-out pair, I decided to try these socks, and WOW, was I surprised! I genuinely wasn't expecting such great quality for the price. Right out of the package, I could tell they were designed for larger feet. They went on with zero fuss and are incredibly comfortable. These socks feature extra padding in the sole and heel for support, while the top of the sock provides excellent airflow, keeping my feet cool and dry. They are well-made, fit perfectly, and are durable. You simply can't beat the values for this level of quality and fit. Highly recommended for anyone with large feet who needs comfort and durability without the high price tag!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Surprisingly comfy—worth every step! These socks are incredibly comfortable and well-cushioned in all the right places. You can really feel the support, and they seem built to last. I wear a size 9.5–10 in men’s shoes, and the fit is spot-on—snug but not tight, with just the right amount of compression you'd expect from a fresh pair. The ankle height is perfect—not too low, not too high—and they’re easy to put on without any struggle. The toe seam looks a little bulky, but I can’t feel it at all when they’re on, so it’s not a real issue. One small heads-up: they arrived in a clear plastic package, like what you'd see in a store. It was slightly awkward grabbing them from my mailbox since I prefer a bit more privacy, but that’s just a packaging note—not a dealbreaker. Overall, these socks exceeded my expectations. Cozy, well-made, and totally worth it.

For the price these are very good quality and super comfortable. I don’t know how they will hold up after a few washes but they are pretty decent for the price and definitely recommend giving them a try.

Well worth the money. Warm. Launder well. Good material.

Solid purchase. My go-to socks...elastic works great and fit is awesome. If I can just figure out where all my socks keep going...glad these are all black for pairing purposes! Good product

I am very happy to replace my Gold Toe socks with these Amazon Essentials. When I could rely on the quality I was an avid Gold Toe "Premier" fan. Like many companies, they have taken the greedy path instead of the quality path. I would have paid a higher price for the quality they had offered. But they cheaped out and they were sneaky about it changing the product name and material content. The last pair of GT I purchased was so inferior in material and my foot would slide around in my shoes. It was very uncomfortable and inefficient as I walk a lot at work. Enter Amazon Essentials: I took a chance. They are noticeably padded in the ball and heel. It is felt when worn more than observed just looking at them. You might think they are thinner but they feel thicker when worn. There is a comfortable snugness to the fit (a plus). The thickness of the sock seam around the top above the ankle is thinner than the GT but it is only a slight cosmetic difference and you may be the only one noticing it. It does not effect the fit. When I wear these socks my shoes are more comfortable. Dare I say they are thinner than the GT but they are stronger and I feel like my feet are supported unlike ever before.

The socks fits my 11 size feet perfect. The color is consistent and the compression is what I prefer and not too tight. The thick is again right to my comfort level. I'm 6' 1" and pretty big lower legs and the socks is right above my ankle. Not too long and not too short. Again, perfect to my liking. They are warm and my shoes doesn't feel tight and for the price, they are great gifts or personal use. Love these socks! No issues and great socks!

The website labels these socks as size 8-12, which would be appropriate for my size 11 foot. The product packaging labels these socks as size 6–12 (US), and they are clearly too small… Perhaps appropriate for a size 9 foot. I exchanged these socks for the size 13–15, which fit my size 11 foot just fine… a bit loose, but I prefer that to tight/small.
