How to keep your socks on when wearing loafers

[Mercedes]

I was so happy to get my loafers but quickly realised that my socks wind themselves off every time. I wore thicker socks, textured socks, added insoles - the only thing that worked was knee highs.

But how will this work when its not cold and it's milder and its too warm for knee highs?

Do others mumsnetters have this problem? Is there a solution?

Are your socks the right size? It's never happened to me. I wear lurex ankle socks with mine.

Haha, I also have this problem with some shoes!

I don't have a solution I'm afraid.

I tend to avoid wearing said shoes with socks. I find my feet are warm enough most of the time in leather shoes without socks anyway.

I wear those little socks that you can wear with ballet flats, I’m not sure if they have a specific name. They have a little plasticky bit on the heel that helps them stays on.

Are socks meant to be visible with loafers? I always wear pop socks or the footsies (I think that's what they're called!)

Pop socks for me too.

I never wear ballet flats as they're too flat but socks with something on the heels sounds just what I need.

Bratsummer do you know where you buy them?

I really like loafers and cool socks with my jeans - i'm sure it's an age thing
