Actually, they fit better than expected. I have purchased several brands of low rider socks in the past which claimed they were as big as my foot. They weren't. Especially after washing them. Perhaps I could have had them dry cleaned and they would not have shrunk up so much. But that would have been goofy.These socks are too big for my size 9 1/2 foot until they're washed, then they're just right.I'll be ordering more of them soon. I have 4 pair which should mean I won't run out for 4 months…
