I really like the fabric of these socks. It's very breathable and feels good on my feet. The level of shaping to my foot and light padding works well for
me too. The main issue I have with them is that they actually seem just a bit too big for me, which surprised me because my foot is not really that small. I wear a woman's shoe size 7.5 to 8. I would prefer if these socks were a little bit smaller, but that doesn't
keep me from wearing them and enjoying them. The burgundy highlights on the black are nice, but I don't love the bright yellow L and R on the toes that let you know which foot they go on (though, of course, it is handy!)
