these socks are great not just for men i have larger feet and most women socks are narrow and they are uncomfortable and not as durable as mens .. Not saying men are ruffer on there socks but i guess i put my foot (or should i say sock in my mouth lol) they feel soft and durable with reinforced toes and heel and softer ankle cushion makes wearing some of my shoes alot comfortable a must have for anyone even if you love to go skating these would be great even hiking would be a pleasent trip for your feet.
