I love these socks. I bought them for my granddaughters. I am so tired of socks that just don't fit right. I have bought socks from Walmart for years and they just do not fit properly. These socks fit perfectly. My granddaughters are ages 3,5, and 7 and believe it or not these socks fit all three of them. I love the colors and the designs and all three girls do, too. I have not laundered them yet but feel like they will do well even in that department. Will let you know if that is not the case. Yes, they are more expensive, but if you are like me and hate socks that are too big, bunch up at either the heel or toe, get "eaten" by shoes, and all other complaints, then these are worth the little bit of extra money they cost.
