Socks?
Quick question, I just bought a pair of boots, they fit fine but every pair of sock I have slip. Does anyone know a brand of socks that will stay up. I would prefer no wool, allergic...
Thanks!

No wool?
I wear only Smart Wool sox in the winter. They are comfy, don't itch, and stay up. But they are wool.

With boot, high socks. If you wear your pants inside the boots, you can pull the sock over your pants so your pants don't go up when you pull up the boot.

I will second the Smartwool socks. Are you sure you are actually allergic to all wool products? Most people think they are allergic, but are just irritated by traditional wool fibers. Smartwools use only merino wool which comes from a different type of sheep and is much smoother and irritates very few people. I sold these socks for years, would sometimes give a free pair to people who thought they were allergic, and never once had someone have a reaction. Those are the only ones I know of that have strategic elastic and shape to stay up.

Find some knee-high, thin socks that fit! (They do come in sizes!) You don't need THICK socks!
