While the socks are pretty they are extremely uncomfortable to wear unless you have legs like broomsticks.  They are extremely snug in their fit and so tight they are painful to wear for any length of time.  I have tried other HUE products and they are equally uncomfortable so it's not unique to these knee high socks.  The welt is so tight it cut into the back of my knee.  I bought both the black and the brown and can't wear either.  I called customer service and tried to tell the rep what the problem was but they were not interested in discussing it at all.  Consequently, will never buy another HUE product again.
