Patrick, the only over-the-knee garb I have experience with are Defeet Kneekers, which are not a true sock, but a legging spanning from ankle to mid thigh. They're a great woolen garment, but I've found that for cycling they tend to migrate downward to just below my knees. I've not worn them with snug fitting knickers though, and I suspect that would help to anchor the top hem. And of course, the whole issue might simply be due to my spindly legs!
