These socks are exactly as pictured.  They are also quite nice and warm.  We use them for skiing and they certainly do the job.  My only gripe is that it says its for boys 2-7.  My boy is 4 and has huge feet (he already wears a size 12) and they are too big even for him.  On the positive side, I guess he could wear them for a few more years. Good product.
