Now, I'm not talking about diced hose tops, like you wear with spats. I'm talking about the nifty knitted ones that Big Mikey and sydnie7 do. These are basically knitted cuffs about 3 inches wide that fit over the rolled-over top of your socks to add a bit of color.

I like them, but they always seem bulky to me. However I have honkin' huge calves and almost every pair of hose I have except for Strings Outrageous Hand-Knitted Kilt Hose are so tight around these gams that there's nothing left for the rollover. They're just stretched to the limit.

So I've thought about purchasing a pair. Thoughts? Does anybody with elephant-sized calves wear a set of these?
