The stockings are absolutely perfect fit. Since pinches and expresses nothing. The stocking is below the knee, which is pleasant at temperatures below zero degrees. Where I am, however, a little disappointed, as always, the cold toes. As I had hoped that your toes stay warm but much longer than my previous. But it was not really like that. At + 2 ° it has lasted about 45 minutes until the toes were cool. After 3 1/2 hours they were then but cold. It makes no mistake with this purchase, but miracles should not be expected.
