Description says, "One size fits most." Really?? In what magical realm can these socks possibly fit "most" women??My wife has recently needed to start wearing compression stockings. As we live in the cold north, I thought these might be a good match. I mean, it does say fits most people, right? Like most every other sock out there? HA! Only if you have pencil legs! I was surprised to hear my wife say she couldn't get them over her calf. So I pick up the other sock and stretched it a bit at the top edge. I was shocked to see the maximum amount of stretch these things have. Heck, the only way "One size fits most" could apply is if these were being sold as arm coverings! Don't believe me? Take a look at the photos.I measured the top of a sock as it lay - 3 inches (7.62cm). Then I hunted to find something that would just barely fit inside without risk of tearing the fabric. Ah, found a partial roll of clear tape. You can see what the tape measures across (top view), and the amount of stretch the sock has while around the tape. I will admit, there could probably be just a few more layers of tape on the roll and still fit inside the sock, but NOT MANY layers! That sock is nearly at its limit. No pic, but the circumference of the tape roll is 12 3/16 inches (30.92cm). Are these 'socks' meant for kids?Another thing - in the reviews, there are two women who both say they are 5' 11". One says the socks come over her knee and the other says they come up just to the knee cap. Now notice in the photos in the ad -- look in the last photo, showing 7 socks rolled up (those look like individual socks to me; not rolled as a pair). Now look at the socks on some legs, and notice how high they go...and not even stretched, either. This HAS to either be a young girl or a very small Oriental woman. There's no way that is anywhere near a normal, full-grown adult woman!Also in the Description (same line as "One size fits most") it states, "Fit for size 36-40 feet." What measurement is that? I have to guess it's metric, so let's assume cm. That equates to about 10 1/4" to 15 3/4". Now, what is it that's being measured? Certainly isn't the length of foot. I have to guess circumference? Hmm....that roll of tape measured 30.92cm. Yes, I suppose that is talking about circumference. So again I have to ask, in what magical realm is that a "one size fits most" size? If the feet can be a maximum of 40cm circumference, then these socks certainly are NOT meant for anyone whose calves measure a larger circumference! Maybe we got a defective pair, as there is NO WAY these socks will stretch to the minimum 36cm measurement! I struggled as it was to get the sock top around that roll of tape, and as mentioned, my wife could not get the sock over her calf.All that aside, the socks seem well made. It states 80% wool, which is very nice. BUT....it can't keep you warm if it won't fit. Wife commented that she liked the feel of them.....while covering her ankles!Not thigh high at all for me at 5’11”. These come just to my knee cap but they’re so warm I held onto them. Not soft, but thick and so warm! I have thin legs and small feet and these do not have much stretch and are rather tight on my knees. Color is a bit lighter than the photo. Warm enough that I would still recommend. Keeps out the wind and bitter cold even in midi-skirts!Super soft and warm, a little tight though. I have a larger calf and its hard to slide them on. Great for people with long skinny legs. That said it is still a fine quality wool and fantastic product.I ordered these because I wanted thigh high socks, these are not that. These cover my kneecap. I'm 5'3" and 110 lbs and am semi athletic but still have slim legs, and these socks are uncomfortably tight at the top and pinch my skin when I bend my knees.I don't think anyone taller or bigger than me should buy these. I'll be returning.They're not anything like the picture.These are labeled as 80% wool so should be nice and warm. I only gave four stars because they fit very tight. Hoping they will loosen up some.The pair I received were extremely tight on my leg. Like leaving marks tight. I don't have super skinny legs, but my legs aren't fat either, I'd say I'm fairly average. There just wasn't much stretch to them. They were over the knee, but unless you have thin, skinny legs, I wouldn't recommend. I had to return mine. It's almost like they are for a child, but the foot size is correct (I'm a size 8 in shoes), so maybe these are good for like pre-teens and teenagers.Hey, I'm an average woman, and not large but not small. At 149 pounds you would think these socks would have no problem going over my calves! Holy cow, these things are for Twiggy. One thing for sure is if you get them past your calves, you'll need a seam ripper to get them off. Got taken on these. I have no idea if they are warm or not!I love this product. It's very soft and warm. Bought another 3 pairs (only 3 pairs left) after I tried them on. I've been wear them for winter. Recommended to many other friends and they've made the purchase as well. Btw, no one paid me or give me discount to write review like this. lol
