    Yeah, 95% of what they stock is "Frilly" stuff; you have to spend some time wading through "cutsie" to find the plain stuff, but it is do-able. The way I figure it, socks is socks. they've got socks in all lengths, from "booties" (and smaller!) all the way up to a "Great Whites" sock that is 200" and "scrunches" all the way up to the top of the thigh!!

    The over-the-knee tube socks are perfect for casual wear; You can pull them up, or push them down, whichever you like. Don't let the picture fool you; on my legs a double foldover brings them down to the top of the calf, then I choose to scrunch them down.

    ...and they come in a ton of colors, a fact that should appeal to a crowd concerned with color-coordination:

    Royal Blue
    Hunter
    Dark Red - OUT OF STOCK
    Grey
    Navy
    Black
    White
    Tangerine
    Natural
    Teal
    Dark Brown
    Red
    Lavender
    Walnut
    Persimmon
    Charcoal

    Another product that intrigued me is their "O Marled" Socks , but I'm up in the air about whether they would look like a "guy's sock" in real life; streched tight on thicker legs might make them look right, or it might not. ...and their colors are limited

    Thanks for that detail Iolaus,

    I was looking at those two too, but they said size large fit to size 11 shoe, which I'm assuming is a woman's size 11. I'm a guy's size 11.

    What size shoe do you wear? Are you forcing it to fit? Thanks,

    I wear a size 13, but with tube socks, that doesn't matter, you make the heel yourself. On the "O Marled", I don't know; I should've tossed an order in for one pair, just to check, but I was trying to ease up on the plastic at that point.
