I have small feet (size three) and so buy kids socks. The best ones I have are tesco's boys black ankle socks, which come in pack of 5 pairs. I am afraid I can't rememebr how much they cost, but it wasn't much.

I bought my husband a pack of 5 pairs of black socks from Asda for about £4. They have lasted for ages, as opposed to the ones his Mother always buys him for Christmas from M&S which have all but disintegrated by June.
The best bit about 5 identical pairs is that you don't have to faff about pairing them up properly after they've been washed!

I buy children's socks and trainers for myself, works out much cheaper because you don't pay VAT.

I used to work in a school and the kids noticed that my Clarks trainers were the same as one of the boys was wearing - poor lad nearly died of embarrassment because Miss had the same trainers!

Best buy so far has been a pack of M&S boys sports socks. My son had the use of them when they fit him, now they've returned to my sock drawer and they're still going strong. Bargain!
