They are knee-high socks, about 160 cm tall and reaching above the knee. There are no holes, and they are still wearable, but I'm selling them because I no longer wear knee-high socks. They are not very noticeable, but upon close inspection, there is some pilling overall from washing. There is also pilling around the feet. They are suitable for someone who wants to clean them up, for indoor wear, as spares, or for cleaning purposes.
