Amanda’s Great Review for Grand Legs
I don’t think I’ve ever been such a happy sock lover as I am today, and that’s saying something. I just got my most recent sock order, and… wow.
I got myself some Long Cuffable Scrunchable Socks and Super Long Cable Legwarmers, and both are tied for the best thing to happen to my legs in a long time.
Because you see, apart from being warm and snuggly and cute, the Cuffables are the first socks I’ve ever had that actually make it all the way up my legs!
My legs are very short, barely 29″, but never before has there been a sock that stretched all the way around my thighs. On their page, it says the tops of the Cuffables stretch to about 20″, but they managed my 25″ thighs with ease.
As you can see, they do tend to roll at the top, so I’ll probably cuff them anyway, but I’m still full of glee that they can get up there at all. Not even the Super Stripes can manage that.
After all that excitement, I tried on my Super Long Cable Legwarmers,
not expecting my luck to hold, but hold it did!
Once again, the noted top stretch of 22″ was an underestimate.
They too go all the way up and stay there, and these don’t even have the rolling problem the Cuffables did! My legs can finally be toasty warm all the way up, should I so desire, although the warmers are much cuter all scrunched. 
Both get an A+++++ from me,
and I definitely recommend them to all lush-legged sock lovers!
Eeek! Those pix are great! So cute and I’m sooo happy to hear they fit
you so well. EG just told me those leg warmers were comfy on her too.
Can I post these in the journal?
Happy toes,
Niqkita
I’d be happy for you to post them! Anything to share my excitement with others!

those black/plum super stripes look so dramatic, perfect for spooky autumn weather! :D

I had wanted these (they were on backorder) but I was wondering how they would fit. Thanks for this great review! I have a pair of Dansko’s that are almost identical to your shoes — I think I will wear them, too, with these leg warmers. So cute!

Great review for larger legs!!!!!!!!! Thank you. I’m glad to know that socks/leg warmers I was planning on ordering will work just fine. Cute shoes, btw.

We are only working on the shopping cart/check out & gift cards for now. This was all planned for earlier this year, but there was a major delay that pushed it all way back. Right after this is complete Olivia is going to start work on the next major overhaul which should be going into place by spring (as long as nothing major comes up again). At that time we will be adding and implementingmany of the great ideas we and our many customers have come up with, til then just the permalink system that is in place, wonky as it is (and the main reason I don’t bother linking back to many of the reviews)… But the new shopping cart looks fantastic, I can hardly wait to show it off!!!

I just put my money where my mouth is and ordered more Long cuffables. I will soon (unless the customs catch them) have two more pairs, which means a total of four pairs :D

Oh! My legs are only a little bit bigger than yours, and it’s really encouraging to see how *cute* they look :-D (love both pairs of shoes too!) Awesome review and pics.

great review Amanda. I love those extra long warmers alot… I have all the colours of the shorter style, I just love them.

My cuffables go all the way up my 29-30″ legs too and stretch over my 22-23″ thighs without problems. And my calves are 16″ at the widest points. Apart from the Super MS they are the only socks that have reached to above the widest part of my thighs. Love them, will buy more.
October 28th, 2006 at 10:11 pm
Ohh those might reach my thighs maybe. I have bigger calves though, and I’m not sure how much of a difference that would make.

I’d love to try the Long Cuffables tooooooo! Are there any more colors coming in? I’d love to see a neon yellow or lime green!

excellent review! now

I love, love, LOVE to see these on a gal with curves!!!!! I was holding off on the long cuffables because I thought that there’d be no way they could go all the way up on me, but now I’m running to get them. :) Thanks so much!!!
