On October 1, 2000, Pope John Paul II proclaimed Katharine Drexel (1858-1955) to be a saint of the Roman Catholic Church. Only the second American-born Catholic saint in history, Drexel founded the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament in 1891 and established more than sixty Blessed Sacrament missions and schools.

In this biography Cheryl Hughes chronicles the remarkable life of St. Katharine Drexel, exploring what drove her to turn away from her family's wealth and become a missionary nun who served some of the most underprivileged and marginalized people of her time. Through her inspiration and effort Mother Katharine improved the lives of untold numbers of Native Americans and African Americans, overcoming open hostility to her work from various quarters, including the Ku Klux Klan. Her saintly legacy lives on today.

Perfect for Dry Heels
I'm at the house all day and run around without shoes on, so these fit my needs perfectly. I bought these socks because I'm applying lotion to my dry heels and wanted to cover them up afterwards. At the same time, I didn't want to cover up my toes because that's a good way to get toenail fungus. The quality is good, and I like that these socks aren't real thick or too thin. They seem like they'll hold up well.

Avid runner loves these socks
My sister, who runs every day, specifically requested these for a present because they are comfortable, well-made, and durable.

Too tight
The socks are soft and pretty. They fit further down on the foot than I expected. However, they do not cover toe halves, which is what I was looking for. They were not comfortable, but they would be good for getting a pedicure.

Cute and Comfortable
I have now purchased at least three packs of these Freetoes, so that says something; I love to wear flip flops and sandals but while walking some distance they can chafe and cause foot issues so I use the socks as a buffer, they are attractive and comfortable, especially in warmer months, and have solved the chafing issue. Highly recommend!

GOOD IDEA, BAD RESULTS
As u walk it slides up to your ankle since there's nothing to secure it between the toes, ends up looking like you have a ankle bracelet. Fabric is NOT soft and comfy. Ended up giving them all away to the my cousin that was traveling with me, she had forgotten her socks so she was desperate for anything. She had the same problem as I but because she is obese so the socks fit snug on her so took a bit longer to hike up to her ankle. Im medium built.. I purchased 2 sets so it was a waste of my hard earned money.
