Socks slipping into boots

[CIVANO]

I bought a new pair of West marine short rubber boots and if I walk any distance at all, the socks slide down to the heel and drive me crazy. Any suggestions on socks that stay up?

A commercial fisherman of my acquaintance uses thick rubber bands around the top of his sox-seems to work for him.

Have the same problem with my rubber work boots. At first I thought it was the boots, so tried new boots and that didn't work. Thought it was the socks, even doubled them up. I think it is I just have weird feet or I walk funny. The only thing I have found that works is hockey tape.

Costco Campion cotton socks... come in either white or black. The elasticity lasts quite a bit longer than your average socks. I steal my husbands socks all the time and they even stay up on me Unless of course you want to wear knee highs under your socks LOL!

I wouldn't recommend elastic bands of any kind, for obvious reasons, however tape near the top of the sock and fold the top over works.

Use two pairs of socks.......pants over the first then second pair of socks over your pants !!! This is for full size rubber boots ! Never had short ones !!!! Hope this helps ....

It's definitely the sock not the boot,just look for a high quantity sock with strong elastic uppers...standard woolies and cheapo sport socks will drive you nuts !

There is (was) a product out there that is like a roll on glue for your skin. You put it on , pull up the sock, and the sock sticks to the glue. When you take the sock off you remove the glue from your skin with a warm water on a flannel. Washing the sock removes the glue from the sock. Wish l could remember what it was called.

Well after pulling up my own socks, I found out the name. Remarkably it is called sock glue. Who would of guessed

Thanks all

I bought some Grundens Gage socks down south a few trips ago and they are great. I am a die in the wool guy but have been buying some hybrid socks lately. The newer Helly Hansen socks have been great so far (limited use to date). I haven't worn those cheap white cotton socks in bulk packs since I was a teenager lol. Your feet are important. You are on them everyday. Treat them right. My opinion on socks is the same with work boots .

I have been using merino wool socks from "Darn Tough Sock" or lately "icebreaker" merino wool...... They are pricey but don't smell !! You can also get a thickness for all the different footwear you have !! Same goes for merino wool long johns; makes being out in the rain in rain gear more tolerable !
