I have a soft 3.5 year old. Most socks dig into their ankles, and I'm used to buying Haynes. I hate tiny flimsy new socks but wanted something funnier than a Hanes tutu to darn (I'm such a cool mom π!). Found these and not only are they cute but they fit sooo well (size 8 for reference). They're the perfect thickness for everyday wear, won't leave a mark on your calves, and are adorable!
