Quality and appearance of the hawk-stopper socks in my opinion unbeatable. We have ordered the same in different sizes and colors. Although they have no right waistband above, they fit well and slip even under heavy use (our son is often tiptoe on) little. It's best to keep handled under a pair of trousers. I think the stockings are more suitable for winter if you still wearing tights under it because they are knitted rather thick and coarse.
