These have quickly become first choice of riding socks. They fit great, they keep your feet cool and warm (if that makes sense). They are very form fitting so you don't even know you have socks on. I just love them. I love everything that Kitsbow makes so not a surprise - but I do love these socks.

great feel once on your feet, but difficult to put on since they are so small

Socks are the right mix of compressive and thin for what I like. They definitely run on the small size. I am an 8.5 shoe size and based on other reviews I went up to a large instead of a medium. I like the pattern and as some one who has large calves appreciate the relatively short, but not too short, height of these.

Good Socks!

When my finely packaged Kitsbow sock order arrived I was giddy. I feel like I'm enjoying a high end spa day experience every time I open something from Kitsbow. Their products are expensive, but their commitment to detail is evident right down to how they ship their products. However the V File Sock, unlike every other Kitsbow product I own, is damaged goods. I felt like my foot was in an ultimate fighter chokehold. I checked the order again to make sure they sent the right size. The ankle band is so tight I nearly blew out a disc in my back pulling them on. Granted I have wide feet, but the other Kitsbow socks in my drawer are great. Not the case with the V File sock. Choosing to Tap Out instead of re-entering the Octogon with these socks I called Kitsbow to let them know about the product fail. The product support from Glyn was amazing. A new pair is on the way and my faith fully restored. Looking forward to ripping trails in my Kitsbow gear this season.
