They're cheap and I know lots of folks on the forum have purchased them. I've got a couple of pair that are not bad for the money (bottle green and lovat green), though I definitely prefer piper hose. Mind that you don't dry them, or they'll shrink terribly.
2nd on these, good for the money.

I also have small feet...usually end up with 7 or 7.5, which means too large for "small" and too small for "medium".
I have never, ever had any success with cotton socks shrinking, or fitting in general, unless they are actually the right size in the first place...or a small will stretch without looking strange or wearing thin.
IIWY...to get out of the socks you have now...get a wool sock in a medium shoe size, and shrink the foot. I did this with my socks, and it worked out great.

Xman,
I wear a size 7 (US shoe size) and have two pairs of the Diamond Ribbed Knee High Socks from Sock Dreams. They fit me well right out of the box.
Although the Sock Dreams website states they will fit up to a size 10, I would be surprised if the socks fit on feet larger than a size 9. The top portion of the socks fit my relatively thin calves, but there isn't enough room for large calves.
Regards, Bill McCaughtry

Perfect, cheers!
