I AM SO PLEASED WITH THE SOCKS THEY ARE JUST LIKE THE SOCKS I USED TO BUY AT JCPENNEY BEFORE THEY STOP SELLING THEM.  THE ELASTIC IS STRONG THEY ACTUALLY LEAVE A IMPRINT ON YOUR LEG WHICH I DO NOT MIND....THIS SAYS TO ME THIS IS GOOD QUALITY ELASTIC AND COTTON ...I WOULD DEFINITELY BUY THIS TIME AGAIN!!!!! THANKS SELLER FOR PROVIDING AND EXCELLENT PRODUCT..
