To think I'm the only person who can't wear secret socks

[itwasadarkandstormy]

Just this. I see friends and colleagues put them on and slip their shoes on, no issues. I put them on and they've slipped off by the time I've got my heel done!

Is there a secret that I don't know about, or am I just really bad at socks?

I can get them on, but as I walk around, they creep down into the shoe and I end up with them under my instep.

I can't wear trainer socks either. 😢

I can't either. I'm convinced it's a special gene, like being able to roll your tongue. That or our beautiful, soft, smooth feet don't grab onto the socks like their grubby, calloused feet. (except my feet look like shit.)

Oh those bastards 😂 Is that what they’re called? No - I can’t make them work either. Useless fuckers.

Felt the same then got a fab pack from Next with a little gel thing at the back and now I am enjoying secret sock living. I presume you mean “trainer socks” that make it seem like you have bare feet, otherwise I am talking rubbish!!

No! Me neither! I have wide stumpy feet, I always assumed that was why. I would love to wear secret socks! All day! Comfortably!

The short ones slip off my feet too. So bloody uncomfortable. I have to buy proper ankle ones.

Yes to PP who mentioned Next ones, the little silicone dot keeps them in place all day. Have tried other brands but they all disappear underfoot!

I've spent loads trying them all.

Gel heels, gel soles, gel ribbing, gel, no gel, thick, thin and every fucker in between.

Same thing. They bunch up under the instep and I end up with feel like smooth pebbles in my shoes....

Do you mean pop socks?

Marks and Spencer ones stay put.

I found some. I genuinely fucking
found some, after reading on here.

Primark lacy ones. They have a fab rubber grip.They have not pinged of AT ALL.

I have tried loads.

I buy mens size with the rubber bits on.

This thread made me giggle 😁

I have these as well

I get mine from Primark. Mine have little 'pads' under the ball of the foot and gel things (technical term) on the back to stop them coming off the heel. They're £2.50 for a pack of three.

Mine are primark too, I wear them every day for work

Another vote for the Primark lacy ones, the grip is amazing.

Primark ones are what you need. They have lace trimmings and a silicone bit so they never slip off.

Well, why am I paying Levi's shitloads of cash for no gel pad?

But then they show above the edge of your shoes anyway, surely ...

I tend to find the dry skin on my heels keeps them in place

Vans socks stay up. They're a fiver a pair, but very good quality and worth the money.

I'm in the US. No Primarni here

OP i usually get a bigger size in those type of socks too, helps to stay on

I’d try hairspray on foot then pop the sock on. Gymnasts use hairspray to keep leotards from riding up. Some fashionistas use it on thighs when sporting a slinky skirt.
