I think that I am going to pass on this drop.
I read most of the reviews, and comments, and it seems that there are definitely sizing issues.
I normally wear a size 13 boot, or shoe, and this would mean I should purchase an XXL according to the sizing chart.
However, based upon what others have recommended, I should purchase a size down, which is an XL, which I normally wear in socks from manufacturers like Wigwam, and Darn Tough.
Bottom LIne... this sounds like a guessing game on the sizing, and many are not happy after they try on the socks.
Second... I read the specifications, and apparently the sock height is only 7" from the heel up the leg.
Again, I took a moment and measured some of my trusty crew hiking socks from Darn Tough, Wigwam, and others, and most of them measure 10" for the crew height, and 11" for a boot height sock.
A 7" height seems more like a hybrid crew, or a quarter crew sock, and again, all of this is based upon the sock height reported by Massdrop.
I normally always wear boots, and long pants, and once in a while short pants, with boots, so I want a sock that fills up the boot space.
If I was wearing sneakers, or low cut hiking shoes, then the height would not be an issue.
FInally, Massdrop states the following:
All orders will be shipped by Massdrop. Estimated ship date is July 23, 2018 PT. Your payment method will be charged 2 hours after purchase. Cancellations are accepted until that time, after which the request will be submitted to vendors to deliver the best delivery time to members, making all sales final.
It sounds like it could be a hassle to return or exchange the socks based upon the language, notwithstanding the vague "Lifetime Warranty."
Bottom Line... My little voice is telling me to pass on these socks.
