I think I'd better go to TK Maxx and buy some more before the rush!!

Another fan of bamboo socks so soft and comfy

I wore some old floppy ones yesterday and the heels seemed to have worked round to the top of my foot.
I should have bought more bamboo ones, I only have 3 pairs.

I second bamboo socks.
I was sent a free sample ? and they are probably the best socks I have.They stay put ...
My problem with socks that aren’t quite tight, is that they work down my ankles and under my heels, which is a ridiculous situation...

Quizzes, I buy one size smaller i.e. 12-3 and they fit beautifully

Ps they were even smaller after being tumble dried, not recommended, but stretched out again to fit.

I bought some bamboo socks and they seem to fit nicely without being tight.

TK Maxx, other outlets available.

AIBU to want to buy socks that fit? I wear them with casual trousers and jeans but I struggle to find comfortable ones. I take size 4 (UK) and all the socks I see in the shops seem to be sized "fits 4 - 7". I end up with either floppy toes or the heel half way up my ankle! I have tried kids socks but they are always too tight round the ankle and that's not good for my veins. Any suggestions?
