I love to buy cute socks, I skate derby and part of the fun is buying and wearing cute socks! My biggest issue is, that the socks look so cute off, or on a skinny model with no calves...but the second I put them. On, they get all ugly and distorted. Now I am 5'5 145 lbs, so my calves aren't huge, but a lot of socks suck that way . These do not, the skull and stripes keep their shape nicely, the socks are nice and thick too.
