Can’t believe my life has come to this

Socks. I’m in search of socks.

Not too thick. Not too thin. Thermal would be a bonus but not vital. I’m particularly keen to find some that don’t end up sliding down over your heel and collecting under your foot, meaning that they come off with your boot when you have to sit on a bench and rearrange them while unruly dogs gambol at your feet and tie you up with their leads.

So I suppose I need a high Lycra content?

Anyway. Walkers. Hit me with your sock recommendations please!

Have you tried mountains warehouse!

Look in the mens section.

Everything is better made and lasts longer.

Bridgedale socks have never let me down.

Smart wool. Pricey but good quality

I’ve been on the same hunt for months. I bought my son some Under Armour thermal sports socks for Christmas and wore them one day and have now ordered myself some. They were warm and did not budge. They are not pretty but they are very functional. www.sportsdirect.com/under-armour-heatgear-crew-3pk-413128#colcode=41312803

Absolutely. And you get a choice of colours other than pink and purple.

My drawer consists of mainly bridgedale, smart wool and stance socks

Same here. Last for years and years too.

mashpot · 21/01/2023 19:42

Was going to say the same about mens! I read this tip and bought some from M&S and they are really thick and warm!

showgirl63 · 21/01/2023 19:42

M&S thermal socks - bought ankle and knee length this year and they are great even after washing!

DottyLittleRainbow · 21/01/2023 19:43

Yes I agree mens socks are where it’s at. MUCH better quality and more than just pink or floral 😂

TicTac80 · 21/01/2023 19:44

Brasher, Bridgedale. Also the Heat Holder socks have been great (and very warm!). These all last me for years. My SIL and DB bought me some thermal socks from M&S for Xmas and so far, they’ve been fab.

Hawkins001 · 21/01/2023 19:46

Mine are sports socks fairly basic,

IbizaToTheNorfolkBroads · 21/01/2023 19:46

Darn Tough
Bridgedale
Smart Wool

JackieDaws · 21/01/2023 19:48

What if I want pink and purple and floral socks? Or do I have to be a try-hard not-like-the-other-girls.

IWineAndDontDine · 21/01/2023 19:55

Stance socks 10000%. The techy ones specifically. They are great

LemonadePockets · 21/01/2023 20:32

I got some knee high thermal socks from M&S, not too thick, not too thin & they didn’t lose shape

ShirleyPhallus · 21/01/2023 20:33

Another vote for Stance, theyre brilljant

if you get the infiniknit ones they have a money back guarantee

DrLecter · 21/01/2023 21:35

I always buy Falke socks from John Lewis - I think they’re German. I have soft, slippy, silky ones for the summer and the warmest, comfiest, wool ones for the winter. They’re not cheap but they are the best.
