I own these socks in 4 colors. They are true OTKs on printed, thick fabric that does not run or snag. My legs look similar to the models, but they don't stretch out and fade. I am 5'6" and wear M or L bottoms and they work for me. An excellent choice if you are worried tights will not fit. One thing is, shell pink looked ballet pink in the pics but is closer to mauve or purpleish-pink in real life.
