Does anyone know anyone who sells this type of thing in a size suitable for a size 7.5 or 8? www.amazon.co.uk/DRSKIN-Silicone-Invisible-banding-10Color/dp/B00JWJ9UV0/ref=sr_1_14?ie=UTF8&qid=1466279912&sr=8-14&keywords=pop%20socks&tag=mumsnet&ascsubtag=mnforum-21

Standard ones hurt as my feet are too big for them!

Get mens ones.. I'm a 7 and the womens' are always a bit tight and after one wash they shrink. I got a load from The Original Factory Shop..mens' section, and they are great!

I got the m&s ones as well and they're great. I got my size (5) but I thought they went up to an 8..?

The problem with women's socks that go up to an 8, is that a size 8 foot will stretch them to their limit and can end up feeling tight across the toes. I'm always jealous of men having a choice of sock sizes.

The problem with men's ones is that are just regular trainer socks, I want the type that don't show it ha low slung type of shoe, like a ballet pump.

I've found some at m and s in a 6-8 but at £5 a pair it seems steep!

John Lewis have sock liners that come in 2 sizes S/M or M/L. Maybe the larger size would work for you?

I have these in nude lace bought from Primark for about £2.50 for 2 pairs. I'm a size 8, they're really comfy and I can wear them all day with no slippage or toe pinching!

try ASOS.

I just read a very good review of Vans Canoodle socks on the Vans website.

Primark and top man have no show liners. I have size 8 feet and buy men's ones. Even the women's ones that say 4-8 are too tight and hurt or simply roll off!

I got some Penguin ones from asos which I wouldn't recommend as I'm a size 7 and after one wash they are all now too bloody small Hmm

The Elle cotton ones are the best, and I've tried them all, even the £20 Falke bonded ones that are supposed to be a shoe liner revelation but which always split. I'm a size 8.

Only problem with the Elle ones is, the cotton is quite thin so they get holes in the toenail area. I spend the odd half hour sewing them up and feeling very 'make do and mend'.

On the flip side does anyone know where you can get really small ones I'm size 4 and the 3-5 ones are too big for me

Drip drop** I'm a size 3 and I got mine in Tesco. They fit perfectly.

The new look socks are rubbish. I threw mine away after wearing one pair because they made me so cross!

Is there some sort of 'trick' to wearing these? I have tried so many different one from Toipshop to M&S to wear with brogues and they inevitably wiggle down/off my foot. I can't get on with them at all!

Have a look at stance socks. Not sure if they ship there or are low enough but they're very comfortable and don't slip

I love the Golden Lady ones-I got them in Asda, £3.50 for two pairs I think. Not sure what size they go up to though as I am a 4. They have a silicone bit in the heel which I like and don't have a big seam on them which I find can rub on my feet.

I've the same problem, hippie - they just slip and slide around in the shoes, and the blisters are as bad as if I just went barefoot.

Primark's sport footies are brilliant. They are like padded tights and stay on my size 8 feet. They're £3 or £4 for five pairs and also come in black.
