I need good socks!!!

I do love Primarni but the socks go all baggy. Where can I find the best socks, ones that are warm, comfy and stay up?

Uniqlo or m&s thermal socks are my favourite and they don't go baggy, have had mine probably longer than I should have .

ShirleyPhallus · 12/12/2021 12:23

I love Stance socks, particularly their trainer socks which are the only ones which don’t fall down behind your heel; and their ski style socks which are so warm and stay up well

Happy socks !

mrstea301 · 12/12/2021 12:35

I really like nordic socks , they're a bit expensive but they wash and wear well!

Finisterre do 3 pairs of merino socks for £24, including fabulous stripes, that come in proper sizes:

I love wool socks so think they are good value.

missmoon · 12/12/2021 14:51

I second Finisterre, I bought some after someone recommended them in another thread, and they are great quality. I have some merino and some cotton ones.

I used to buy Happy Socks, and the designs are great, but they only lasted me 3-4 months.

AnnieSnap · 12/12/2021 16:49

@SeaRabbit I have just had a look on your recommendation as I love wool socks too. They look good. I don’t anymore just now though, but will bear them in mind for the future. Have you bought other stuff from Finisterre and do they have good customer service?

IbizaToTheNorfolkBroads · 12/12/2021 16:52

@AnnieSnap, Finisterre’s customer service is superb. I havn’t got any of their socks, but I have a few of their other things.

DoryisinCuba · 12/12/2021 16:58

Bamboo socks by Elle or sock shop are great.

saleorbouy · 12/12/2021 16:58

Isobaa merino or Bridgedale. Both fairly expensive but both very comfortable and worth it for warm feet.

prettypinkflamingo · 12/12/2021 17:03

Another vote for Stance...they just fit my feet really well and don't slide down!

Shehasadiamondinthesky · 12/12/2021 17:04

1000 mile socks, I love mine.

PaddingtonsHat · 12/12/2021 17:06

BAM- so soft and comfy and keep their shape

Shelleymoon · 12/12/2021 17:07

H and M multipack (5 pairs?) black ankle socks are fab. Can highly recommend.Smile

PerpetualStudent · 12/12/2021 17:09

Thought socks are lovely - not cheap but thick cotton, long lasting and really nice patterns.

I had some bamboo ones from BAM and from Rapuni (who do amazing t/shirts and leggings) and they didn’t hold up very well…

Bunce1 · 12/12/2021 17:11

Stance! They just fit so well.

Otherwise Nordic socks are nice and Monki glitter socks are lush!

Crocky · 12/12/2021 17:18

I second Thought. Love their bamboo socks.

AnnieSnap · 12/12/2021 17:27

Thanks @IbizaToTheNorfolkBroads 👍

I agree on both points
notoldjustpastyoung · 13/12/2021 18:05

Search for Bamboo sox, I think it's Sox Shop. They are so soft and comfortable. Looks like they seem to be the vote all round.

foxyariel · 13/12/2021 18:47

Seasalt. They are good quality and come in a range of quirky designs, but they do plain ones too.

me109f · 14/12/2021 00:41

Browse the designer brands at TK Max. Quality pays, and I like padded sport sox but you can find all types for different uses. Check out the materials and make sure there is a good proportioon of natural fibres (wool /cotton) and maybe elasthane for grip; but avoid sox that are too tight.

monarchoftheglen · 14/12/2021 01:00

Seasalt or Nordic socks

Nat6999 · 14/12/2021 01:12

If you want super thick socks, buy Heatholders from Amazon, I have peripheral neuropathy & Raynauds & wear Heatholders 24/7. They measure up at 2.4 tog.

AnnieSnap · 14/12/2021 13:28

@Nat6999 I do like heat holders. Their gloves and mittens are great too.
