I bought this combo package of half white and half are black socks. I am so satisfied with them. They are not too hard to put on and they do the job in holding down any tendency to swell at the feet and ankles. I had hip replacement a few years ago and tend to have that leg swell, but not when I wear these stockings. I am 76 yrs old, 6'3" and 260 pounds, size 14 shoe. The fit is pretty good, they come up a couple inches below the knee and stay there pretty well when I am doing normal active things, walks, shopping, etc. I will buy them again.
