I ordered these socks for myself, (female - age 52) because I like to break out now and again and wear something fun. These socks are not only fun and cute, they are very well made and fit like a glove. The have quite a bit of stretch to them, but they don't "bag" after wearing as some do. The fabric is think enough that I can wear them with most of all my shoes, but they are not flimsy. I highly recommend this product. I want to buy them for my 83 year old father...Amazon, please get them back in stock!
