The holy grail: invisible trainer socks that stay put

49 replies

Redwinestillfine · 16/09/2023 15:52

Is there any such thing? Tried several brands now and no joy. I spend the majority of the day looking like a weirdo fishing them out with my fingers and feeling super uncomfortable. I like wearing dresses and trainers/ canvas shoes and socks showing over the top looks rubbish but I can't seem to find a pair that will stay up. Any recommendations?

H&M sell some that have little rubber grips on the heels, I find they do stay put. I have size 3 feet so I get the small ones which also helps!

I love these ones from Amazon.

The John Lewis anyday ones stay put for me.

Danikm151 · 16/09/2023 16:16

Primark has some with a rubber strip at the back that means they stay put 🙂

NickyOy · 16/09/2023 16:17

Skechers invisible ones with the anti bacterial protection are good. These are the only ones that stay out for me.

Primark mesh trainer socks. I am an addict 😬

M&s do some 'good move' ones which don't slip. Again they've got the silicon pad on the heel and don't budge at all.

Primark gym liners. Look like thick tight material. Dirt cheap. Come in loads of colours.

Primark.

Came on to say this.
100% vote from me for John Lewis ones.

Redwinestillfine · 16/09/2023 17:23

Brilliant. I will start with the Amazon ones and then see how I go. If they work for others maybe it's just my feet! I have tried ones with silicone grips before and no joy. 🤞🤞some of these work

I found the sets at Sainsburys worked well... did not get on so well with the Primani socks.

Clymene · 16/09/2023 17:27

Primark and H&M.

Do not buy Tesco ones. Even though they have silicon bits on the back, they are so low cut that they just slip under your foot.

SoupDragon · 16/09/2023 17:29

Another vote for Primark.

BicOrange · 16/09/2023 17:30

Uniqlo. Been buying them for years and doing buy from anywhere else now.

Redwinestillfine · 16/09/2023 17:30

@joanthursday are the good move ones trainer socks or the invisible liners? Just on the website now and there are a few but all the invisible ones seem not to be good move ones....

These ones from M&S https://www.marksandspencer.com/4-pair-pack-cotton-rich-invisible-trainer-liner-socks/p/clp60167369?color=WHITE&prevPage=srp#intid=pid_pg1pip10g2r1c1 I’m wearing them right now actually. They’ve got the non slip silicon on the heel.

Sorry - a link would help, wouldn't it?

I like these ones: https://www.marksandspencer.com/3pk-cotton-rich-footsies/p/clp60535749?intid=mobile_app_pdp_share

I have stupidly pointed feet that are made for picking winkles, and these stay hole-free for months. They're cushioned too: some trainer liners are quite thin.

M&S

3pk Cotton Rich Footsies

Made from cotton-rich fabric, these cushioned footsies from our Goodmove collection keep feet comfy all day long. Handy pack of three. A touch of Lycra® adds extra stretch for a perfect fit.

I've tried many and I mean lots! Primark ones with the grip!

SpamIAm · 16/09/2023 17:44

Ones with the zig zaggy silicone bits are my favourites. Have had from new look and primark. The new look ones are a little lower on the top of the foot but both fine with standard trainers.

MyCousinsNotVinny · 16/09/2023 17:54

I once had an awesome pair that stayed put. I got them in Fenwick on bond street and they were ridiculously expensive. unhelpfully I can't remember the brand name but it was probably something like Wolford or Falke or that type of brand. Looks overpriced but the quality was great. I wish I could remember.
