The socks seem alright
I ordered the tall socks on 9/4 and received an email saying it would be 1-2 weeks before they were ready and mailed. Mailed 9/12 and arrived 9/17 via UPS. Total cost with shipping was $126.94 USD.

They come up to just below the knee...
Trying to give some sense of scale

(It's just the standard 24" four-fold ruler.)

Attached very crudely just to take a photo.

Close up on the rings, they're all welded closed

Don't mean to photobomb anyone, but I had a devil of a time finding them, so I could imagine this might be of interest to others.
Ring O.D. ~.207"
Ring I.D. ~.162
Wire Dia. .027"
I know they don't add up, but rings aren't necessarily perfectly round.
Each sock weighs 430 g. or just under 1 lb.
The bottom of the "sock" portion is quite long. I'm a size 8.5 US, and it covers the sole of my foot back to the beginning of the heel. Construction looks quite good, no burs or uneven/bunched areas. The real test of course would be to hit them with an axe...should have gotten a small sample of the same material to try.
Questions, comments, criticism, let me know. Hope this helps someone out there, I had to spend a lot of time looking just to find them.
