For some reason, lately I haven't been able to find the plain, old white socks I like so much lately. Found these online, and tried them out. I really like them! They are long enough to cover a bit of leg, but much shorter than knee-length, about halfway up the calf, I would say. They are very plain, no special pattern in the knit or anything. But just perfect if all you need is plain white socks that fit and look great.
