I was in car accident whee I had to have both ankles reconstructed. I have had a awful time finding socks that fit right. I have bought 15-20 different brands and types. These could be the best socks on the planet. I have about 25 pair now. Its all I wear. The designs are great. They are so soft. They do not fit tight, but tight enough that they don't fall down. Its weird. Usually after wearing socks all day Im ready to take them off. These don't bother me at all. They don't fade. They don't get strings. They are awesome on many levels.
