Socks that don’t dig in!

[sunsetandcocktails]

I’m hoping you can recommend some socks to wear with cropped straight or barrel legged jeans and trainers.
I’m size 12 and 5’7 with size 8 feet.

Any socks I wear seem to dig in and so when I sit down and my jeans rise up a bit, there’s an unsightly leg bulge over the top !

I’ve tried knee length socks but these geel
too tight too ! And quite hot.

Any recommendations to spare my muffin top legs? !!

Feeling your pain...waiting for the sock wise to appear.

Can I join the club? I am thick of ankle. I've tried men's socks but incredibly they are not much better!

Why don't you wear trainer socks?

You need soft top socks. Can get them most places.

Where ? Share. You obv know what I don't.

I'm size 8 shoes but have been buying men's 9-11 socks. You can also buy men's socks with a 'comfort' top so they stay up but don't dig in. Sainsburys and Asda sell them. Not very glam I know but it works for me 😁

Sockshop, soft top bamboo... every colour under the sun... wash like ribbons.. never buy anything else!!

I tried the men sock route but God it's depressing... they're usually so boring. 😴

I think the useful phrase is gentle grip, but I haven't tried them yet.

I find socks both too short and too tight.

M&S socks are fine for me. Do you suffer from swollen ankles.

Another fan here for Sockshop, soft top bamboo socks. They are great, really soft and wonderful range of colours

Need "comfort cuff" by Pringle. Last ages and super comfortable.

I can recommend Seasalt Sailor socks. Cute patterns, nice colours and very soft/forgiving without slipping under the heel.

Bamboo from the sock shop, best socks I've ever owned! I'm same height/size as you but 7 feet.
Good value too

Google “diabetic socks” which sounds very unsexy but should reveal socks that don’t grip your ankles!

I also came on to suggest diabetic socks ( got mine from Amazon).

I like these socks:

I have small feet (UK 4) and despite not being particularly fat (UK 12) have big calves, so know this problem well. As a child my grandpa used to say I had “Highland man’s knees” and “hockey legs” which has stayed with me forever.

You want Gentle Grip socks! I wear these and they're so comfortable and no ridge marks, plus they don't slip down either.

Mohair soft top socks from Pairs or the Cambridge Sock Company - lots of lovely colours

No swollen ankles as such, just must have a layer of ‘podge’ on my legs ! Am off to google diabetic socks and bamboo socks from
sock shop- thanks!

These socks looks comfy too

Diabetic socks.. they have comfy ankle or calf rims.

Matalan do them in the men's section.

I'm going to be trying out some of the socks mentioned above. I've had no luck with diabetic socks or 'soft top' ones. I have the skinniest legs on the planet yet they still manage to leave deep marks!!

Another sockshop bamboo sock fan. Super soft, no digging in.
