They compress, but aren't too tight. They have the bright fluoro color. The color is a pop of brightness to help keep my husband safe while he's cycling.

The socks in my pics are for aspire four, size medium. I like my socks to fit relatively tight, so they don't bunch in my cycling shoes. Best socks on the market. My boyfriend also bought the red/black pair.

Very durable, and still look great after countless washes. They are of high-quality and feel like they will last a long time. On hot humid days they keep my feed dry.

Extra skin fit results in no slipping across foot, sock, shoe, and pedal power transfer. They are very comfortable and his feet no longer go numb in his cycling shoes.

Second pair is noticeably different in size, despite both being marked l. Name aspire four is misleading. Nice bright color, * way too small.
