Footsies for ballerina type shoes that don't come off at the heel

I have size 8 feet and find it very difficult to get anything that will stay on. I am talking about the "tights" material type or even a thicker type that will stay put please?

I have the same size feet and to be honest have struggled to find any that work well , I’ve usually done best buying men’s as the women’s ones are too small and look on Amazon to see what has good reviews , there are some low cut men’s ones available

These. They are the only ones I've ever found that do the job. You can't see them with ballerina pumps and they have a little gel strip on the heel that keep them on your feet.

Not sure about the sizes but I’ve found M&S and Uniqlo footsies to be good at not slipping

I’ve just bought some from Tesco and was pleasantly surprised.

I've just bought a whole load from Primark and been very pleasantly surprised. Pretty patterns, they have a gel bit for the heel which helps it stick. I could never even wear trainer liner socks before as they always came off, but these all work. There are some with cushioning as well which are super comfy. I promise I don't work for Primark, just was genuinely happy with them!

PS I am a size 7. When you buy them, do check as I believe they come in 2 sizes - size 2 to 5 as seen in the photo someone posted above, but also a larger size which works for me.
