Socks with coloured heel & toe

Is it possible to get ones that last more than a few months, please? I got some from Primark in September, which haven't lasted at all.

Also, is it possible to get ones that are warm? Can't wear wool ones - tried these before (walking socks, I think) and my eczema flared up.

    Last ones I got were from Matalan, got them last year, and are still fine. The kids call them my clown socks tho. Only bought them because I was sick of everyone nicking my black socks. Seems my teenagers don't like the clown socks :rotfl:

  • I brought my hubby some for his birthday back in March from Next and they are still going strong, and the reason I know this is because I wear them more than he does!! :p xx

    Is it to help pair them up in the laudry sh1305? Thats why I buy them with coloured toes and heals :D. I got fed up of having to match up 20 pairs of black socks.
  • M & S do them, bought some for dd a couple of weeks ago.

    I also rate Next socks! Had mine couple of years now - but I need some warmer ones to wear with my wellies - thermal I guess.

    I too have to watch it as my ezcema flares up this time of year anyway - pain in the bottom... tho hasten to add, that is not where I get the ezcema!

    That doesn't help pairing them up at all.

    Nah, what it is, is that I'm partially sighted and wearing socks with coloured heel & toe is the only way to ensure they're on properly.
