The socks are fine comfortable to wear on the skin. They also cut not one, no matter what the scope of the ankle has, so I also bought (there is no rubber in the waistband). However, they go so apart after washing. Oh my goodness. I bought it in size 35-38, but in the meantime they should be portable for size 41/42. What's not exactly the rage in the washing machine, these are the edelweiss jewelery applications of metal. The can destroy the drum during the spin cycle. Therefore, I have agreed it what with scissors or knife just goes.
