They don't seem like loose-topped socks to me.
Annie.X — 3 out of 5 stars
I bought these because I wanted loose- topped socks, but these feel very tight to me. I don't know why they are described as loose-topped. I have quite slim legs too, so I'm not happy with the fit. I usually like the top part of socks to sit quite low on my leg, so if they're long-ish, I keep them bunched up a bit. Just in case others want to compare leg size, I measured where the top of the socks ended (again bunched up a bit), they were 10cm above the top of my ankle and my leg circumference measures 25.5cm at that point. They feel like they would leave fairly deep, ridged marks on my legs if I wore them for a while. If I was to stretch them out to full length, they'd sit 22cm above the top of my ankle bone. They do feel like good quality material and have a bit of thickness, but not overly thick, so I liked that part. Maybe they'd loosen up if I wore them a lot but because I find tight socks very uncomfortable, I won't be able to wear them long enough to stretch them out. I have to keep them though, as I couldn't try them on without removing the plastic thing that holds them together. Before opening, I thought they looked and felt like they might actually be loose enough. I'll have to try to stretch them out using other methods. There was a deal to buy 2 pairs at $15 each. I've looked at many socks before these, can't believe it's been so hard for me to find navy socks that aren't too tight on my legs, and also have a bit of thickness to them.
