First, I am a dude.  I have big legs.  These socks still somehow fit me, and they're comfortable!  They breath reasonably well.  But!  Most importantly, I now look like a superbeast when playing Backyard Football.  For me, that's as good as it gets.  These pirate stripes can take a beating, and they look good doing it.  I highly recommend these to anybody--guy or girl--looking to superbeast.
