These socks are adorable, especially if you're into colors. I'm a fan of striped socks personally, and something about these just stood out from the rest. They're stretchy enough to be comfortable, without cutting off your circulation or sliding down, and the bright colors are bound to get you all sorts of attention. (To give you an idea, I got three compliments on them walking into a grocery store, in the middle of the night.) They're also really warm, and sturdier than your basic knee-socks. I've yet to run mine and I've had them for months. Great to sleep in, and they definitely make a statement.
