Boring but... socks!

Looking for recommendations for socks that won't slip down inside my trainers as I keep getting blisters. Both ankle socks and trainer socks, black/white/grey. I'm a size 3 so sometimes generic women's socks are too big which doesn't help.

Cheers!

I'm also a 3 and the only socks i can get away with are primarks "teenage" age socks. They're size 12-3 I think? Fit me perfect and don't slip. Good luck!

I really like these https://www.decathlon.co.uk/p/low-sports-socks-rs-500-pink-white-green/_/R-p-2400Low Sports Socks Tri-Pack RS 500 - White DECATHLON | Decathlon. They don’t slip down and have stood the test of time washing repeatedly.

Thanks so much for the recommendations! 😁

I buy Primark socks then hot wash and hot tumble dry them. Then they shrink to the right size for my feet.

I like the John Lewis trainer socks and ankle socks. I'm size 4 and wear them all day at work without slippage! Available in Waitrose.
