Any recommendations?

Trainer socks I've had seem to either be too thick or they roll down under my heels...

Just want to wear my Converse with skirts and dresses when it's nice but bare feet in trainers just feel a bit ick

TIA!

I want short trainer liners too!
Talk doesn't cut it and I have small feet, my existing ones are to long.

I think I may have to become a child.

I've got puma ones from sports direct. Come in black or white. They don't roll down and are thin.

I think any sock showing looks a bit funny Shame about the talc it really works for me just massage in and it lasts all day but has to be the liquid one

I'll have a go with liquid talc, thanks.

Am wondering if some nude footsies would work too...

The DDs have puma ones, I will steal a pair.

This isn't about high fashion tory it's about practical footwear you can drive in, walk around in all day and drive home in the evening, when it's not warm enough for sandals.

Gap ones aren't too high

It's not a terrible look... I think this is perfectly nice for weekends and doing general stuff in bluebuddhablog.wordpress.com/2013/08/17/effortless-relaxed-style-converse-and-a-maxi-skirt/

Next do really nice cotton footsies, with a little silicon tab to stop them slipping. They are totally hidden by trainers.

Yo Troy - fuck off the thread if you think fatties with a supposedly bad sense of style is beneath you.

It isn't by the way, bellend is far further down the list.

I have Puma ones from Sports Direct too, although I have big feet.

Alternatively, I think Tesco do them in kids size 12.5 - 3.5

I wear them everyday walking the dog so i've throughly tested them. The puma socks from sports direct are great too.

Footsies vanish in this house.

DDs had black ones for 5 seconds.

What about getting some converse boots and using normal short socks? Would that be ok?

Fat Face have some nice 'not socks' as I call them at the moment. £8 for 2 pairs, so expensive, but they generally seem to stay up on me.

The best ones I've found are actually from Primark. Nice and thin and don't seem to roll down under my heels.

I bought some last week in Tesco - a selection of spots, stripes & plain in thin cotton - just what I was looking for to go under Converse-type pumps
