Boot socks

Do any of you lovely ladies know can I get great boot socks? Everywhere atm I see styles with coordinating boot socks but absolutely cannot find them anywhere. I've got some nice woolen welly ones but they are too long to wear with biker style boots, the slouch is just too bulky.

Primark have some really good ribbed, thickish, longish and very soft ladies socks in various colours, cream, grey, taupe etc. They call them cosy socks I think?

I got some Timberland socks last year which have just the right amount of slouch

Capricorn Mohair socks may be worth a browse - different lengths/styles and popping colours. I have a few pairs - also feel fab on.

Theee look good but the ones I likes the style of are £35 Shock. Although I have paid this for welly socks and it's been worth it so maybe worth the investment

I should have given due price warning @liveforsummer ! On the upside, they do last well, are easy to wash and while wool they're not at all structured/bulky feeling - they feel quite airy on (odd description, I know) - so slouching is possible. Good luck in your quest - good to know what you settle on.

TKMaxx usually have nice ones.

I second TKmaxx.
Also John Lewis do wool and silk boot socks in a variety of colours

I've liked in tk maxx but not seen any. I think with that shop it's pot luck and individual shop dependant though 😆. The John Lewis ones look like it's regular length, it's longer ones I'm after. Will look into all the others. @AnotherFuckingUsername I've just today taken delivery of a pair of Dubarry alpaca wool socks which is spotted in a sale and are absolutely amazing. Off to investigate if they do them in other colours!

Sainsbury's have done really nice ones in their menswear if you have biggish feet.
