i have two pairs and at US 12 they are too small, not by a huge amount (but enough to be unwearable). i think a 10 would be fine.

edit: both pairs i have are quite thin.

[jaac]

Yeh they are thin and some of the knit parts on mine were really tight for the first few wears, i was worried they were gonna snap the threads when i put them on.

[jaac]

Where can I find black & white polka dot socks? Can't seem to find it.

[Servo2000]

I literally just bought a pair of black and white cdg polka dot socks that fade to grey at the top - current season, really nice.

(the polka dots are pretty big, maybe an inch in diameter each - not sure if that's what you meant)

[syed]

Where did you get them? The size of the polka dots doesn't matter too much, I actually like ones that are bigger and ones that are smaller and busier.

problem solving for WM experts:

thinking of saying "yes" to a proxy sock offer for aw11. i am a us 10.5-11. aw11 socks are billed as "free size." what would you do?

[sunkenshoes]

^ they can stretch out a lot. i'm a us11 in most and they did fit me.
