Those who wear Dr Marten boots, what socks do you wear?

I'm fed up of my socks disappearing down my boots! They're still being worn in and rub if socks fall down. Help!

Those primark fluffy socks

FlaviaAlbiaWantsLangClegBack · 07/01/2021 13:09

Bridgedale hiking socks usually.

I’ve worn thicker boot socks breaking DMs in - think the type of socks you’d wear with hiking boots, you can get them from outdoor stores and they’re nice and warm too Grin

Not ever had DMs but I got some great double layer socks from sports direct/mountain warehouse they have two layers in one sock so it stops that rubbing & they stay up!

Chunky men's 'Workwear' socks from Sainsburys.

DMs themselves do some decent socks designed for just this problem:

I prefer breaking mine in with 50+ denier tights

doadeer · 07/01/2021 17:50

I wear 4 pairs of DHs socks at the moment!! To break them in

pronxcessxo · 07/01/2021 18:14

Doc socks!! or cheap primark bed socks depending on what i've got in my drawer haha

BlueBoar · 07/01/2021 18:29

Seasalt socks with the ribbed tops or ski socks when it’s cold..

toastfiend · 07/01/2021 21:08

Pop socks under regular socks can help to prevent rubbing. Otherwise, as others have said, I wear thick, hiking type socks with them when they're still a bit solid.

Hohofortherobbers · 07/01/2021 21:27

Just regular socks , but I pull them up and fold them over the top of my boot, that way the socks stay up and the boot tops don't rub my legs. Love my DMs

My DD wears Nike sports socks (the ones that come up to well above the ankle, not the short ones).

OublietteBravo · 07/01/2021 21:46

Knee socks. My favourite ones are from H&M

louisethedisease · 07/01/2021 21:46

Nike/ellesse ankle socks

bellagogosdead · 07/01/2021 21:53

Either lovely brora wool socks I bought from tk max or wool/silk ones from john lewis. I have a couple of pairs from primark and although they are nice and soft, my feet get a bit sweaty wearing them.
Basically I find it best to have boot socks, rather than cotton ankle type socks.

@coldspell

Those primark fluffy socks
Yep. These.
LegendDairy · 07/01/2021 22:05

Normal cotton ankle socks. Usually mens because they have better patterns.

RyvitaBrevis · 07/01/2021 22:07

Cheap men's wool socks from Ebay (I wear a thin pair under to prevent scratching)

RhinestoneCowgirl · 07/01/2021 22:09

Currently I wear them with hand knitted socks, so my feet are lovely and warm (not that it's much help to you!)

Palavah · 09/01/2021 20:26

I always folded the socks over the top.
