Like the previous reviewer, I was drawn to the lovely colors of these great ombr knee socks. It's my first pair of Steve Madden socks. Not too shabby.

They're just beautiful, so well made. Comfy too. (I'm a 8.5 and these fit well). The elastic fits my 15 in calves nicely without cutting off circulation OR the other extreme of sagging. I hate having to wrestle with knee socks, always hiking them up. These don't suffer from that. The toe seam lies flat and doesn't cause any problem. And these look awesome with ankle boots. :-)

However, I've recently discovered PACT brand; their 90% cotton knee socks feel so much better than acrylic-blend socks like these. It's actually hard to find cotton fashion socks these days. So a star withheld for materials, but for looks alone, these are a great choice.
