I love the style and extra padding in the sole; was hopeful these were the answer to tender feet in need of comfort, but, sadly, the size of the socks are, disappointingly, small.  Not only do I wish for more length from heel to toe, and more length in the top section, but, more importantly, I wish the top section didn't choke my ankle with it's tight, little band restricting blood flow.  I don't have large feet; socks sized 9-11 are the standard size I wear.  With these, I had to double-check the package to make certain I hadn't gotten children's socks by mistake -- they aren't, but I'll likely be giving these to my 10-year-old grandniece, anyway.....BOTH packages.
