PBK Socks (Roadies and Socks)
PBK is running a special on their in house brand of socks, but they don't have a sizing chart for them. They come in S M and L. Anyone have experience with them?

In the interest of hurrying that along, I'd guess anything over men's US size 10 would need a large....

Since I wear a size 9-9.5 US size or size 42-43 EU size that answer basically just tells me I might be a M or an L in PBK socks. Using your guess. Which is as good as mine.

I just went ahead and ordered mediums. We can now discuss proper sock height.

Well we'll either both be happy or both be pissed. If they don't fit I'm blaming @gc3.

Rule #27 // Shorts and socks should be like Goldilocks....
Not too long and not too short. (Disclaimer: despite Sean Yates’ horrible choice in shorts length, he is a quintessential hard man of cycling and is deeply admired by the Velominati. Whereas Armstrong’s short and sock lengths are just plain wrong.) No socks is a no-no, as are those ankle-length ones that should only be worn by female tennis players.
Rule #28 // Socks can be any damn colour you like....
White is old school cool. Black is cool too, but were given a bad image by a Texan whose were too long. If you feel you must go colored, make sure they damn well match your kit. Tip: DeFeet Wool-E-Ators rule

Sock size and shoe size are different. See this chart:
Shoe size vs sock size
In the US men's one-size-fits-all socks run from 10-13. So a size 10 sock is small and a size 13 sock is large. A medium sock would be about a size 11.5 or a 9.5-10.0 shoe. Men's, of course.
