Are toeless socks just long tubes or do they have a heel?

They have heels. I was gonna upload a pic, but those were on my other phone. Like 4 phones ago... xP
Actually, I've only made 3 of them total (socks, not pairs). The first 2 were a matching pair only I did the bind off too tightly on one of them and the yarn eventually snapped and started to unravel. And the third one was supposed to be a pair, but I got distracted by other projects and now I don't remember my row counts. They, too, were saved on one of my old phones.

Also, as far as yarn dying goes, I've gone the cheapo way and I just used kool-aid powder and also food coloring. I haven't really tested the color durability when washing, but since those dyes really only work well on wools and animal fiber blends (at least 50% animal fiber), they'd n3ed more gentle washing anyway unless you're felting it. Although I did start buying superwash wool when it became an option. I haven't been brave enough to test it and I also don't remember which ones are normal wool and which are the superwash because I forgot to label them. I would love to experiment more with dyeing though and also to get actual yarn dyes.
