Wouldn't be seen dead in them !

No matter how much my trousers edge up,my leg, the tops of my pop socks are at my knee

I can't wear the knee high ones because of (shush) what looks like a varicose vein top of the calf area. Please don't tell anyone.

The black ones look OK and I like socks usually in the colder weather.

(I'm talking about the knee-high ones of course, not the ankle-high ones - can't see the point of those)

I hate trainers, but I have to wear closed shoes for archery and in the gym on the boat.
Trainers are the only ones I can get on my swollen left ankle.

I love popsocks, I've worn them for years. You'd have to be wearing very short trousers to reveal your legs above them when sitting down!

Poposocks? Time for

Poposocks are OK until you sit down and your trousers edge up your legs. And you notice your legs are hairy as well

rose my daughter says to me " I see you are wearing not-so-secret socks"

Yes Gransnetters but at least I don't have hairy legs and I do have nicely painted toes, if only you could see them through my layers of socks.

however on glancing down I suddenly saw Nancy's feet from 60 years ago - shock horror.

Sorry but I tittered at that it is horrible though isn't it when it creeps up on you like that.

I am always in flat or nearly flat shoes these days. Often with pop socks which I think look vile if they show but are better than blisters.
Our gym mistress wore thick socks and sandals as well, along with shorts which showed off her hairy legs.

I know you felt Nankate I have always hated trainers but. Since suffering from plantar fascilitis I have ended up wearing them even with smart trousers or long skirts on a bad day.
