yes, I liked them, too!
The new OTK Top Striped Tubesocks are sooo nifty!
I wore ‘em all night and day and found them to stay up extremely well. They’ve got somewhat tight tops that became comfier after a few minutes on and stayed over my knees! The feet were comfy, the knit was nice, stretchy but not baggy and not see-through! It’s gonna be so exciting to have all the rotating color options coming in! :) That’s all for now, although I will be posting about some more new stuff soon! :D

mine make it up over the knee…but doesn’t seem as high as yours…maybe I need to tug more…..the new stripes look longer….I think i am really loving these I think…they don’t fall and feel great!

mine don’t seem to come up as far over the knee as all yours do in the other pics….on me- the lime stripe on the lilacs is on my knee and the bottom black stripe falls just under my knee…

hmm, that’s odd…maybe it’s a one-way stretch thing…? i have really small calves, so even though i have long legs and feet, i can get these over my knees.

we haven’t decided for sure on how this color situation will work, but most likely yes, when they are gone, that’s it!

btw, eg, i think they should do alright for stretch in the calves, though i’m a bad test for that. you should try them, though!!! :)

At first they felt a little tight, like it was gonna be a tough sell to convince them to stay over my knees, but after a few minutes they settled in. They were a little snug at the knee right at first, so don’t let ‘em freak you out if you try a pair. ;) they’re not as cushy as the regular tubes, as they’re based off of the top striped line instead and more resemble the military bootsocks, with more cushiness in the feet than elsewhere. the knit is nice and thick, however, and the tops are similar to the regular knit of the Ms, which is why it takes a couple of minutes for them to stretch and fit. and of course, thanks to their being tubes, the feet were fine! :)

I just adore how these look… tell me my fellow long legged and footed friend, did they reach over your knees easily or did they need be pulled taught? How do they feel/fit in comparison to the regular tube sockies we have both enjoyed? I’m dying to know. Nice pics Shelle!!! :O)

my lilacs were waiting for me when i got home from work yesteray (what a lovely surprise after a long hot day)….they fit snuggly (and snuggily)…stayed over my knees (for the hour I had them on)….and the color was unbelievable….the toe had lots of room….didn’t try them with shoes but they were so comfy and my bf loved them, too…he said they remined him of the socks he wore when he was little (except for the color- heehee)…QUESTION: if the colors are going to be rotating does that mean once the colors are gone- they are gone??…
