I have had several of these socks for nearly 9 months, wear them as a nurse for 12hr shifts, and here are my thoughts:Pros - Cute designs! Comfy even for my 17” calves/size 8 feet, the lighter compression doesn’t cut into the backs of my knees. Don’t roll down. No pilling or shrinking! Good price.Cons - Printing “seams” from sublimation are noticeable along the sides, and as the designs stretch, you can’t see them as clearly. The printing also fades over time, and the fabric loves to grab color, so be careful when washing. Light compression only (although that’s actually a pro for me - see above), and no wide-calf sizes available.I like the socks enough to buy them again, even replacing some of the pairs that have faded/gotten discolored in the wash. But if there were a way to make them colorfast, I’d be very happy!! So, still a 5-star rating, just be careful when washing. :)
