Super Stripes at length…
I got the black and dark red pair, and the colors didn’t dissapoint, either, but keep in mind that they are knit like the regular Ms and won’t give you complete opacity (you can see that I was wearing thin socks under these in the top pic). However, they’re thick enough for comfort and still breathable, hopefully giving us a wider range of seasons in which to wear our long socks! The ribbed tops keep them up and have lots of give, and I love the contrast color toes and heels.
On my long legs, these reached a sort-of high-mid-thigh length, and were very comfortable. If I had a complaint about these vs. the M Stripes, it would be that the ribbed tops are a solid color, while the M Stripes are striped toe to top. However, these will fit a wider range of people and, in doing so, hopefully open up new stripey doors for some!!! :D

That top picture appears over exposed, are they really that sheer on you? Granted, it’s not easy for socks to stretch much without losing a bit of coverage, but in the bottom image they don’t look at all as bad…

yes, the top pic was with the flash on, and since it was from the side, the knit appeared slightly more sheer than it really is. however, they really are somewhat see-through on me, as you can tell by my tattoo being visible in the first shot. also, the big diff between the images is angle–with this knit, you’ll be able to see through it from a straight-on angle, but not really any other.
