Previously, I have purchased several pairs of the  athletic V-Toe Flip Flop Tabi Socks and loved them.  This is the first time I've purchased these black and gray V-Toe socks.  I was pleasantly surprised by how lightweight they are (much like dress socks) and how small they are (I wear a women's size 6.5 - 7 shoe). While this might not work for everyone, I was thrilled.
