They're kind of like knee-high socks...but higher.
Promising review: "Very cute stocking, good quality except the bows are glued on so they fall off in the wash, which isn’t too big of a deal. I was able to sew the bow back to the stocking for a better hold and the bows held up great on its own; no unraveling or anything. I would recommend." —Corenza Christian

Promising review: "Omg, so cute! Stay up well, and the little buckle on the side makes me feel so sexy and flirty. I worried that the buckle would show under pants, but it doesn’t, as long as they are not skinny leg or formfitting pants I guess. Holds up well to active wear. Not thick, but not thin. Repeated washings and heated dryings don’t seem to bother the little leather buckle setup. Ended up buying multiple sets so I could wear them every day." —Chris Davis

Promising review: "I have never found a pair of thigh-high socks that have actually fit my thighs until today. I’m so happy with these! Not only do they fit my thighs perfectly, but they also aren’t too warm or thick, and are stretchy and soft. If rolled down, they don’t compress your calves either. No complaints." —Leigh Broyles

Thunda Thighs Shop is a Canada-based Etsy shop specializing in plus-size thigh-high socks and accessories.
Note: The shop suggests wearing in these socks for them to reach their full potential. It's not unusual for them to roll down the first wear or two due to the way they are packaged. BTW, if you're not feelin' the black, these are also available in 29 other colors and styles!

Promising review: "I LOVE THEM. They feel so good, the material is so soft, and they’re right where I want them to be above my knee. I always struggle with these kinds of socks rolling down my thighs, but these ones fit perfectly!" —Samantha P.

Promising review: "My thighs are about 28 inches around and I have never found thigh highs that would comfortably fit me, let alone stay up. These fit!!! They are knitted so they have a ton of stretch and they are so, so, so warm and cozy. The belt strap is absolutely a must, as well. You can also totally achieve the leg warmer look just by literally scrunching the sock down. It looks adorable. The socks are so cute and so soft, I may have to get the white next!" —meowmeow

Promising review: "With this cold, these socks are a must. They are adorable and, most importantly, functional! They keep me warm at night, they are comfortable and soft. I put on lotion on my legs every night and put these socks on and I have noticed a difference in how soft my skin is. I will have to purchase another set since I use them almost every night." —daniella ospina

Promising review: "These socks ROCK! LOVE THESE WITH BOTH BOOTS AND BIRKS. They are soft, well made, and super comfortable!! They remind me of the EG SMITH socks I wore in the '80s and '90s. I have been looking for a comparable option since then. These socks sell out fast so if you’re thinking about it, just dooooo it! You will love these amazingly cozy socks, too!" —SMROCZ

Promising review: "THEY STAY! THEY REALLY STAY! Last week, I wore these to a convention. I was admittedly pessimistic about the idea of thigh highs with grips, but I REALLY wanted these to work...and they DID. It was a hot and sweaty day, I walked multiple laps through both the artists' alley and vendor hall, did two photoshoots, and even went shopping and out to eat afterward. The socks stayed. I’d say these blew my socks off, but quite the opposite." —DenniMac

Promising review: "She likes them and I like that she likes them. I like when she wears them and she likes that I like when she wears them. And uh, they are great quality socks. I was worried that the silvery dots would be sharp and catch, but they are actually smooth and don’t catch on her pants or scratch me. Win-win." —C. Pennington

Promising review: "I love these socks. They keep my whole leg warm. With these socks, I don't need leg warms or long boots. I recommend them to anyone who needs to keep their legs warm. These socks are thick and long; they're very comfortable socks. Excellent for boots and short skirts or dresses. I will continue to buy these. I highly recommend these to anyone." —Kindle Customer Mrs. Prescott
