These are the best constructed socks I have ever purchased.
I have large calves from working out and the Old World socks do not lose their elasticity around my calves after multiple uses.
These are the only socks I have found on-line or in stores that meet my needs with regards to fit, softness and durability.
A great value.

I rate these socks a solid 5.
I’m on my feet most of the day. As a bigger guy I struggled to find socks that don’t choke my calves. These are a perfect fit. At the end of the day, there is no mark (or pain) around my calves. I would recommend these socks to my friends and coworkers.

I’ve been looking for good fitting socks that meet my health needs for several years. With Old World Socks my search is over. Good fit. Fair price. Stay up without squeezing my legs. Nice selection of colors and patterns. And, what is not to like about the smiling guy on their webpage.

Socks are great for leg circulation problems; they do not bind around calf.
They hold up in the wash nicely.
Great customer service!!!

I have been wearing Old World Socks under the EuroChoice brand for over twenty years.
Your recent change in the construction of the sock concerned me, but after purchasing a couple of pairs and trying them out, I would say you improved what I thought were already perfect socks.
Have ordered a dozen pairs since. 5 stars.

My purchase from OldWorldSocks was exactly what I wanted to add to my sock drawer.
I have an athletic build and am not at all diabetic (“health nut”), but I still find that 99% of socks on the American market are simply too uncomfortable to wear because of their inexplicably narrow diameter and/or the “clamp from hell” on the upper elastic band.
However, there is no trace of any discomfort with the OldWorldSocks products – these socks have an effortless stretch which actually let you breathe, and their smooth fit stays unchanged after washing.
My only comment is that I would enjoy seeing a larger selection in the future, either in the design (I like the stripes, but maybe other designs?) or by offering heavy-duty, thicker “hiking” socks that would be good for cold weather.

5 stars…I have in the past tried over 15 different types of socks in last year..
These Old World socks are great! I’ve tried endless amounts of socks that claim they are loose on top..some might be..but then the width across toes is cramped.
Having a bunion already..that makes matters worse!
They are so comfortable. I ordered the padded ones. I know these are a man’s sock..however..I am a woman with size 12 wide shoe…and find they work out perfectly! I am glad my search is finally over.

I purchased four pairs of socks to see if my husband could wear them as all of the other socks, casual and dressy, left marks on his legs and were quite sore at the end of the day.
My husband loves these socks and they did as the company advertised they would. He said they are extremely comfortable around the calf with all over comfort asking me to purchase more for him. I just emptied out his two large sock drawers and donated them to the homeless shelters and replaced them with the Italian Comfort Socks.
I believe if men are having issues with their socks cutting into their calves they will find these socks irreplaceable.

I’ve tried to find these socks around the internet for well over a decade (I think they used to be called “Eurochoice”) because I haven’t found anything like them for comfort and weight; they also look great and don’t fall down.
What a nice surprise to come across a company that not only has an unparalleled selection of these socks, but also incredibly fast shipping and very reasonable prices! 5 Stars!

So far the person for whom I bought the first pair of these socks is really pleased.
They are comfortable, they fit well, cushion the feet, stay up, and most importantly do not bind — a first – as most socks that do not bind tend to slide down.
5 stars

My husband has been wearing Old World Socks for the past few months both the dress socks and the cushioned socks. The quality of the socks is excellent… they are very comfortable and so easy to care for…….so glad we found Old World Socks. They are a good company and very efficient in both service and delivery. We definitely rate them 5 stars!!!

I’ve ordered twice from OldWorldSocks and want to express my complete satisfaction with these excellent quality Euro Choice socks. I discovered these very comfortable socks and will not wear anything else, yes it might sound cliché, but it’s the truth!
Comfortable, look good, and will not make rings around your ankles; especially important to those with circulation issues.
5 stars with no hesitation!

5 stars.
I have thick calf muscles from working out and these socks are very comfortable for me in my work boots.
I am a police officer so I’m on my feet a lot.
They don’t strangle my calves or my ankles and they are soft and make my feet feel good. These are my favorite socks I own.
