My conclusion is that they would work great for someone who is either tall, or has big calves, but not both.

So, as an experiment, I ordered some of these:

I just got them today and while they are a little long, I can get them up over my calves with plenty left over for rollovers. The extra length just makes for a thicker rollover and works quite well. So, if you're both tall and have big calves like me, these work great for the money at $10/pair. They also come in a variety of colors.

Just don't tell anyone you're wearing women's thigh high socks and no one will know.
I have been searching for some darker colour kilt hose that won't break the bank and these seem to fit the bill... NOT that I want to see guys legs but,does anyone care to post some pics so we can see what they actually look like while being worn ?
