Super Stripes
If you’ve ever tried the M Stripes you know they are unique & sexy, but not always comfy, in fact they might not fit you at all because they are so long and lack stretch in the thighs, plus the feet & ankles can be way too loose.
Until recently we couldn’t get them made any bigger so we made the most of it and many of you love the M Stripes despite said issues. A while back we started testing samples of larger versions of stripes, each had their pluses and minuses but we felt this version came closest to what we were looking for, wide enough in the thighs to stretch over 23 inches (actually we found they made it to 25, but your results may vary) with stripes all the way to the toes and enough elastic in them to help the feet & ankles maintain their shape without “bagging out”. This is just our first round of these, I want to add smaller feet (they will fit down to a womans size 8, maybe 7) and I want to add lots more colors because I think these are soooo comfy!!! No struggling to pull them up, they stayed up well and they looked great. I know not everyone will love them as much as we do, but I think lots of you will!!!

Hmmm, we *couild* adjust the length, BUT I was going for something that would not be so awful long for those of us who don’t have legs to the sky ~;)
nah, it’s cool! I like my longsocks better for sky-highness, anywho.
now post an entry of the new pretties, pretty-please!!
i have nothing to post right now.
I love these!!!! They go all the way up to my butt…that means they stretch over my 25 inch of thigh!!!!!!!!! I can’t wait til we/if we get them in little feet!!!!!!!:)
Super cute! Can’t wait to see what new colors come out.
mine didn’t reach all the way up, but I have to have 40″ socks for that…it’s the foot-size difference, i guess, xilia!
How far up did they go Shelleopard? and was it the length or the width?
it was the length. they went up to..we’ll say high mid-thigh. see where the stripes below ended? about three or four inches higher than that…still four or five inches shy of full-length.
Fantastic COLORS!!!! Are these the same as the rose/white samples??? They are brilliant!!!
I’ve tried these, too, and they’re great!!
Love the color variety available. Only thing missing is a blue & grey stripe! Would love to see that offered.
@Rose—Ooh, that would be pretty. Blue and grey is a stripe combo we surprisingly don’t see much. Several blue and grey styles we’ve loved have come and gone, and though I don’t expect we’ll be adding to the Super Stripe family any time soon, it’s a colour combo to keep in mind.
