Decent black socks

Sorry for the boring post!

The last couple of years I've mainly worn bamboo socks as they're so soft, but I find the heels and toes wear out really quickly, and some of them go baggy and end up falling down and crumpling under my feet. But before I discovered bamboo I used to find lots of socks quite hard and uncomfortable.

Any recommendations for plain black ankle socks that are soft, stay up, and last a fair while with lots of walking?

I used to buy m and s men’s and tumble dry them. They were soft and perfect and lasted for years.

Sainsbury’s ultimate comfort ones are fab - I’ve worn them for years, active job on my feet most of the day. They’re padded on the soles.

Brilliant, I'll try one or other of those. Thank you both.

M&S kids uniform ones are good! I like the thick sports ones.

Champion sports socks are great
