text: My use of these is rather different than most. I use this product to protect my apples! I have espalier apple trees beside my house and when the apples are about the size of a small plum in spring, I encase them in the sox's and they are protected from damage from bugs. I remove them several weeks before picking and my crop is beautiful!<br /><br />I have also used these on my feet when trying on shoes and they are perfect for that as well!<br /><br />JoAnn P. in Portland
