These are my new favorite socks!  They are thicker than knee-high hose but they are thinner and stretchier than regular socks.  They are very soft and breathable but still warm.  I know some might have an issue with the toe seam, but to me it's the same as pantyhose so if hose bother you, then these will too.  I usually wear these socks pulled up like knee-highs, though I find I need to keep pulling them up if I do.  If you wear them folded over or slouched, then you don't need to readjust (and they wear just fine that way).  I bought a 3-pack of these and will be purchasing several more.
