Well, I'm delighted with the fit - I wear a 12 shoe and socks are often skimpy tight but these are quite comfy. These are inexpensive socks so I'm not expecting the best but all lin all, they are just fine - better than expected. My grandfather was a MacIntyre and always wore Argyle socks which my grandmother knitted for him so these stir up some childhood memories for me. I think I'll buy some more.
