"I share the country's admiration for the bravery of Captain Phillips and his selfless concern for his crew. His courage is a model for all Americans."--President Barack Obama It was just another day on the job for fifty-three-year-old Richard Phillips, captain of the Maersk Alabama, the United States-flagged cargo ship which was carrying, among other things, food and agricultural materials for the World Food Program. That all changed when armed Somali pirates boarded the ship. The pirates didn't expect the crew to fight back, nor did they expect Captain Phillips to offer himself as hostage in exchange for the safety of his crew. Thus began the tense five-day stand-off, which ended in a daring high-seas rescue when U.S. Navy SEALs opened fire and picked off three of the captors. "It never ends like this," Captain Phillips said. And he's right. A Captain's Duty tells the life-and-death drama of the Vermont native who was held captive on a tiny lifeboat off Somalia's anarchic, gun-plagued shores. A story of adventure and courage, it provides the intimate details of this high-seas hostage-taking--the unbearable heat, the death threats, the mock executions, and the escape attempt. When the pirates boarded his ship, Captain Phillips put his experience into action, doing everything he could to safeguard his crew. And when he was held captive by the pirates, he marshaled all his resources to ensure his own survival, withstanding intense physical hardship and an escalating battle of wills with the pirates. This was it: the moment where training meets instinct and where character is everything. Richard Phillips was ready.

Solids are great
I bought these so I could keep moisturizer on my heels yet keep my toes cool. I love the solid colors but there is absolutely no stretch on the pretty flowered ones. I guess it’s the way they are woven. They are really hard to stretch over the heel. The solid colors are soft and super comfy.

These run small!
I had ordered these before in black and grey and they were great, fit perfect. But these run small. I had noticed another reviewer said the same but thought I'd risk since they were cute. I'm not sure what color has to do with it, but tight at ankle and at 'toe'-less part. They are now in my donate bin. Waste of money, will not purchase this brand again. Great idea, inconsistent quality.

Solid colors fit, patterned ones too small
As others have said, the blue socks with flower pattern were much smaller than the solid blue pairs- so small I couldn’t even get it on my foot (shoe size 8). The solid blue pairs I like and still wear, but it’s a bummer to only have 2 out of 3 fit when they cost this much.
