Product Insights
Simons Black Crochet-Like Knee-Highs at 10 CAD, in stock and rated across 3 reviews, is an open-crochet one-size knee-high whose promise is a bare-leg illusion: black exists only as thread, so skin shows through the open weave and the leg reads as skin outlined in black. The openwork polyester knit vents air and wicks sweat, drying fast and wearing cool in warm or mild weather, while the machine-made openwork carries a factory hosiery lineage to the 1880s and buyers report the knit feels comfortable, not itchy or clingy, on bare skin. The main tradeoff is that the 100% polyester leg has no stretch and no elastane, so fit is set entirely by the elastic top band, which provides only a light 18-20 mmHg hold rather than therapeutic compression; it stays up all day without over-squeezing even on fuller calves, though a full day can leave a light indentation. Polyester also takes up skin sebum and builds odor faster than wool or cotton, and the open crochet is built for indoor and mild-weather wear rather than deep-cold insulation.
Verified claims
- Visual effect
- Black exists only as thread, so the leg reads as skin outlined in black.
- Sheerness
- The knit is a sheer open-knit lace with openwork, not a solid textured knit; skin is clearly visible through the holes, like fishnet or lace.
- Moisture management
- Polyester wicks sweat away rather than absorbing it, and the open knit dries fast
- Breathability
- The openwork polyester knit vents air instead of trapping heat, so it wears cool in warm or mild weather.
- Odor
- Polyester takes up skin sebum and builds odor faster than wool or cotton
- Stay-up
- Buyers report the band holds all day without over-squeezing, even on fuller calves.
- Fit
- One-size fit is set by the elastic top band; the 100% polyester leg has no stretch
- Grip
- The only hold is the elastic edging at the top cuff; the 100% polyester knit has no elastane.
- Band comfort
- A full day can leave a light indentation line from the top band, but tightness is not a common complaint.
- Compression
- These are fashion hosiery; the listing does not specify a medical compression level, though community reports place light band compression around 18–20 mmHg, a hold rather than therapeutic support.
- Skin feel
- Buyers report the open crochet knit feels comfortable, not itchy, on bare skin
- Seasonal use
- Built for indoor and mild-weather wear: the open weave vents heat instead of trapping it
- Manufacturing lineage
- Machine-made openwork in a factory hosiery lineage dating to the 1880s
- Material composition
- These knee-highs are 100% polyester with an elastic edging; the body contains no nylon, elastane, or spandex.
- Fit
- These are a one-size item designed to stretch and accommodate most leg sizes; no specific small-large guidance is published.
- Care
- Machine wash cold on the delicate cycle and air dry flat to maintain the shape and elasticity of the polyester.
- Snagging
- The open crochet-like knit is snag-prone and can catch on zippers, Velcro, jewelry, and rough surfaces; handle it like delicate lace.

| Black Crochet-Like Knee-Highs: Choose these if you want a decorative sheer knee-high with an openwork crochet-like lace look, including floral vine motifs on the foot and lower leg and alternating horizontal bands on the upper calf, finished with a scalloped elastic top cuff. They are made of 100% polyester and come in black in one size. Note that the same lace knit continues over the toes and heel, with no opaque reinforcement visible in the product image, so they suit outfits where a fully sheer foot is welcome.[1,2] | Ebony Romantic Lace Knee-Highs: Choose this if you want decorative knee-high lace stockings with a semi-sheer floral and vine openwork pattern, a narrow solid band at the top edge, and thin ribbon laces tied in bows at the back of the calf. They're made of a stretchy 90% nylon and 10% polyurethane blend and come in Black or White, each in a single ONE SIZE variant. Note that the close fit is shown on the pictured model, so how they sit on your legs may vary, and the fabric is semi-sheer rather than opaque.[3,4,5] | Solid Knee-Highs: Choose this if you want a soft, stretchy cotton-blend knee-high in 65% organic cotton for everyday wear, layering under trousers in fall and winter, or wearing with fitted boots, where the thin knit slides in without bunching. Aggregated customer reviews report the socks stay up all day on most legs, but the narrow top elastic can dig in and leave marks on wider or swelling calves, and the delicate knit is prone to holes, with hand washing recommended to extend their life. They come in a one-size fit with a choice of five solid colors.[6] |

They are so cute but they don't list the compression strength so I'm just gonna go with these aren't meant for these purposes.
