Honestly, I bought these to wear to doctors' appointments, because I was in preterm labor for months and visiting 2 specialists a week for exams and ultrasounds. It seemed like I was always in stirrups. So, I decided to purchase some cheap, "cute" socks (since my socks were basically as exposed as I was). I received lots of compliments on them, too. Ha! I had planned to just wear them for doctors' appointments, but they were instantly my FAVORITE socks! They are my go-to for every shoe! I'm not sure how a sock is thin enough to fit in a tighter shoe, but cushioned enough to wear with any shoe, but these fit the bill. My Nike Dri Fits are too thick for most shoes, and my dress socks are too thin. These are literally just right.The material is very stretchy and comfortable. They're also soft and breathable. They don't slide down either. My only complaint is that there are tons of strings inside of them due to the sticthing for the patterns (seen in the picture of the inside of the gray sock with orange and green argyle pattern), and toes can get caught in the strings when putting them on. You just have to roll them up slightly smaller when putting them on. Once they are on though, there are no issues with the strings. They aren't felt, and therefore do not deter from the comfort.3 years later:I still LOVE these socks! They are still my favorite, and I am more than impressed with the quality! I've worn, washed, and dried each pair over 100 times!! And not the first hole! So, I finally decided to buy more. 12 pairs this time! The price hasn't changed and, honestly, just can't can't be beat!From the pictures, it appears the socks have shrank. This isn't the case, though. They've simply stretched to my foot and calf size. I wear a women's 7 in sandals and heels and an 8/9 in boots and tennis shoes. And my legs are muscular and large for my small build. The socks are a little tight at the ankle and leg until they've stretched (which takes a while, though I can't remember exactly how long).The white socks show some pretty obvious discoloration over the years when compared to the new ones, but they've held up so well.The black and gray socks are truly impressive! The color has held true for years! I haven't washed them in any 'special' detergent to retain color either, and I always dry them in the dryer.I also purchased a different pattern this time (ArgyleG). The ArgyleG style (that I didn't include pictures of) are just as cute! The material does feel different, though. They aren't quite as soft as the ArgyleF pattern for some reason. And they're a little tighter. But the pattern is so cute, and I know the quality of these socks are superb, so no complaints or star deductions from me!Keep selling them, and I'll keep buying them ?
