Wearing shoes size 39, the socks fit well! While the heel seam sits not exactly what personally but do not mind me and was also to be expected at a size variation over 4 sizes. The federal government is not too tight nor too loose. The socks will not slide. After the first wash the smell has disappeared on the apparatus. The socks so far do not dissolve, as it had already criticized other reviewers. Also, my feet do not sweat abnormally. The fabric is soft, does not scratch, does not chafe ... Everything was great! Would I buy it again!
