The old ones were much more comfortable and were true OTC. These are "top of the calf". The new ones are just OK. I hope they stretch a little more after washing. I'll keep looking for good socks. Once I find them, these will be at the back of the drawer.

Color: Gray
It wasn’t easy to improve on Duluth’s most durable socks. But the footwear experts at Duluth Trading didn’t stop until they were “sock-cessful!” The result: Midweight Performance Over-the-Calf Socks with more than double the abrasion resistance of original 7-Year® Socks. Better yet, these high-tech wonders include temperature-managing COOLMAX® EcoMade polyester made with 100% recycled fibers that are both stronger and more sustainable. Nanoglide® nylon wicks away sweat and even fends off blisters. Plus they’re purpose-built with 3" worth of extended padding in the toes for steel toe durability. They’re a giant stride forward in sock performance!

Very comfy, socks with substance but not too warm even in summer.
These new ones suck plan and simple!!! Old style were AWESOME!!!!!! Why did you change? Bring back the old ones,PLEASE!!!!!!
I ordered two pairs of the Men's 7-Year Midweight Performance Over-the-Calf Socks. One pair is perfect so I would give it 5 stars. However the other pair is shorter, loose fitting, and does not have the same elastic stretch as the other pair.

These socks are about 4 inches longer than the previous version of Midweight Over the calf socks. Exact same name and exact same size was chosen. They come to my knees. I will be returning all 6 pairs which were just delivered. What a waste of time.
