The rainbow pair of socks was the only pair of socks i bought that fit around my "overweight" calves. I needed socks while I wear a cam walker (boot) on a hurt foot, which was killing my hosiery due to the velcro and bought these socks. I am overweight and I had bought 4 pairs and this was the only one wide enough and comfortable enough to fit over my calves.  Besides the fact that I adore the colors, as, with a hurt foot, i was feeling miserable and needed a "pick me up". My doctor called my feet "happy feet".

The socks wash well (almost daily) and are very comfortable to wear. i cannot say the same for the other pairs i bought (different colors).
