Children’s socks!!!
These are children’s socks! They’re priced like adult socks but they’re definitely children’s. I wear a women’s size 4 (girls 5…I share shoes with my ten year old daughter frfr) and these socks don’t cover my heels. I’m furious. Sending back.

Great socks!
These are great low cut socks with padding in appropriate places. The shape keeps them from sliding down in my tennis shoes. I just wish more than three pair came in the pack.
