I saw the socks and ordered them immediately, they had so many good reviews. I love the concept of superhero cape socks and I love DC Superheros especially Superman. When I pulled the socks from the package I was struck by how thin they were. then when I pulled then on they stretched so you could see my skin underneath, and the Shield on the front became distorted. I do not consider my legs fat, they are average, so the people who were delighted with the socks must have been 12 or had legs much skinnier than mine. I am keeping the socks because I still love the concept and maybe if I tone my calves more they will look better.
