Celine Bennett 5 I love these socks! They are quite tight in the ankle region, but it isn't a huge problem, it's just that I have thicker calves so I end up rolling them down so they aren't uncomfortable. I love wearing them with my tennis shoes in the winter since my shoes have mesh parts which let's water in but since I have to walk a ways these socks allow me to wear my comfy shoes, and not suffer through wet socks all day. On my feet they feel like I'm wearing 3 pairs of spandex socks (very snug but not too snug: I got the appropriate size, promise) and because of the extra layers, I certainly am warmer. I recommend these for casual use though they feel incredibly well made so I imagine you could use them for most purposes.
