This summer we reviewed the Chaffree Ankle Socks and more recently we reviewed the the Chaffree Knee High Long Socks.
We have also previously reviewed the Chaffree Men's Briefs and the Chaffree Men's Boxer Shorts.
We now focus on the Chaffree Mid Calf Socks.
Packaging
The Chaffree Mid Calf Socks are packaged in the same straightforward and efficient way as the Chaffree Ankle Socks and Knee High Long Socks. A card clasp is wrapped around the socks. A thin polythene sleeve then encloses everything.
The packaging provides very clear and detailed product information: product description, key features, sizing information and care instructions.
Materials and features
Like the Chaffree Knee High Long Socks, the Chaffree Mid Calf Socks are a premium product, with every aspect and feature designed to provide comfort and functionality.
The Mid Calf Socks are essentially a shorter version of the Knee Highs, with similar features but with a different length.
A key feature of all the styles of Chaffree socks is the use of COOLMAX® breathable fabric.COOLMAX® fabric has an inbuilt moisture management system that keeps you dry and cool when you perspire. COOLMAX® fabric moves and transports perspiration outside of the body where it quickly evaporates thus reducing the skin to irritation and other attributes that cause the skin to chafe, leaving you to get on with your life in comfort and confidence. COOLMAX® fabric also has anti-bacterial qualities.
The Chaffree Mid Calf Socks are made from 75% Polyester (COOLMAX®), 22% Polyamide and 3% Elastane ((Lycra®).
They are also available in a traditional Cotton version (with 75% Cotton yarn).
For this review we wore the version made with COOLMAX® breathable fibre.
The Mid Calf Socks socks have a series of unique features, all focused on keeping your feet and legs cool and comfortable.
The graphics above provide a visual overview of key features.
Comfort is enhanced by the terry soft cushioning throughout the whole foot of the sock, including the heel, toe, insole and around and above the ankle.
The toe seam is flat and completely smooth. The foot is anatomically shaped.
The leg has a light rib pattern, that begins above the ankle. This is elastic and is designed to provide moderate leg support, to aid circulation and prevent tiredness.
The top of the leg does not have a conventional cuff. The socks are designed in such a way that the ribbed pattern provides support throughout the calf, so a cuff (top opening) isn't necessary.
Sizing, fit and wearing experience
The Chaffree Mid Calf Socks are available in five sizes:
S: UK size 4-5 (EU 37-38; US 5-6)
M: UK size 6-7 (EU 39-41; US 7-8)
L: UK size 8-9 (EU 42-43; US 9-10)
XL: UK size 10-11 (EU 44-46; US 11-12)
2XL: UK size 12-13 (EU 47-49; US 13-14)
In each size a Standard or Wide Fit is available.
I wore them in an XL: UK 10-11 size with a Wide fitting.
Like the Chaffree knee high socks they were easy to put on. Sizing information is completely accurate and ensure that if you choose correctly you will get a perfect fit.
I love the way the foot is anatomically shaped. When you put them on the experience is quite different from normal socks - your feet slide into place and are held snugly in the cushioning. The level of comfort is extraordinary.
Thee socks have a good stretch. I found that they needed a little more pulling up, compared to the knee highs, if worn for long periods. But the socks do not all down or crumple.
Once again, the ribbed support provided a moderate level of compression support. If toy wear them for a while you will see the slight impression the ribbed lines leave on the skin.
Sweat and moisture control is excellent, due to the COOLMAX® breathable fibre that wicks away sweat.
