Rainbow Roads are toe-up socks with German short row heels. A surprisingly easy to remember lace and cable panel travels up the front of the foot and leg, while there is also twisted ribbing detail and patterned gussets. There is optional calf shaping with a gusset that will accommodate for a longer leg length as well as those of us with larger built calves.
