Bought these for my 91 year old friend, who has swollen feet and needs the grippy bottom. She wears size 7-8 shoes. They are soft, and do not constrict/make a mark on her ankles/lower legs. The grip dots do not bother her feet, and she's pretty sensitive. Lovely colors, match the website colors (I have a MAC). Wondered if I should get some that were less expensive, but she is so pleased that they stay on so well and are attractive, that I'd buy these again! (Maybe for me this time...)
