Truth in advertising
Sexy aren’t they?
But I have to be honest here…
I HATED them!
I could barely stand to walk across the room in them because the zippers felt awful on the backs off my legs. Not only that, but the zippers [naturally] have zero stretch, so even though the “thigh highs” are made of cotton & spandex they barely made it a few inches past my knees. Now, I know there are people out there who will love these so we’re going to go ahead and sell them, at least til we run out. I greatly doubt that I’ll be reordering though, so if you want them grab a pair now, and no, I’m not discounting them just because I’m less than pleased, they cost alot and weigh even more (which will add to the cost for us to ship them to you).
Yup, this just may be the bitchiest review you ever see me post, but I think some of you will like that even more, you sickos, now go buy the damn zipped “thigh highs” so that I can stop being pissed off by them ~;P
…Oh, and if you have a more positive opinion of them, by all means, share it with us!

About a zillion years ago I had a pair just like these and I will share a trick I learned to cope with the zippers. I took a *cheap* pair of tights, cut the legs off of them and put them on under the zipper thigh highs, you could also add a garter belt for extra hold up power. It helps, some…

yes I prefer honesty, and anyone who is willing to suffer thru it will have a sleek pair of unique socks thats for sure.

I actually liked them, although i only tried them on and didn’t wear them around yet. I found them to be an OTK on me, and they stayed up well (but my legs are bigger than ‘kita’s, so that’ll make the diff). still an excellent review. ;)

I appreciate your honesty. I don’t trust companies that say everything is *just wonderful dahling*. Sometimes things DO suck and you win DEVOTED customers by your honesty. & I’m one of them! :D

I just love your photography and presentation of all the socks. I placed 3 orders yesterday and have decided that I need some new boots to go with some of my new socks. I’m looking for brightly colored short rainboots in children’s size 5 or ladies size 6. Any suggestions. I haven’t seen any lately. ANNIE
