In the winter I buy my socks from Fat Face.
They are a bit pricey but they last for years and years.
They are thick and soft, never wear out and the stretch never gives out either

Why not get men's socks Jude I do sometimes. I like the soft top ones, no elastic. I don't find they either fall down or roll round my feet :-)
