I get compliments every time I wear these socks! I got them because they were hi-vis, but I didn't realize how much of a reaction from friends and strangers. I wore them to an event where I was directing traffic--they matched my orange vest--and more than once I heard, "Hey Sock Guy! Like the socks!" So, they're great for the bike--comfortable and hard to miss--AND they're good for wearing off the bike too!
