First off, when I opened my pkg. it smelled like mildew, I did put them on with the hope of the smell going away once open...  but the toe opening has a thicker band across the toes that totally showed when I put my shoe on.  My shoe only had an opening big enough for my big toe to show through and the cut was not narrow across the top, but the band was to thick to hide so I ended up not wearing them.  I normally love Hanes and the actual stocking part was really nice, but they have to work on the open toe feature.
