I have no trouble putting on these socks. Some bands are so tight you can't get them on. I love the different colors and designs. I have not tried the zipper ones yet but they appear to be easy to do. Do not get these socks near velcro, I have shoes with a velcro strap and accidently touched a sock, it was really hard to get the sock off. Don't pull the sock, gently pry it off.
