Sockdreams. I bought a variety of OTC socks from them in varying level of thickness, ranging from viccel like widths to boots socks are which are really thick.

I have gotten Smartwool socks at Nordstrom rack and STP. I think they only have 1 style of dress sock. Quite thick and great for winter, early spring and fall, up to about 75 degrees.

They are also quite cushioning and great for the long walks through airports schlepping all your crap.

Have you tried a tongue or heel pad? Either, or both, will often stop slipping.

I have 4 pairs of BNWT Venanzi (from Rick's) that are thick wool and over-the-calf.

PM me and I'll cut you a deal.

Just found gold-toe socks and I luuuuuurve them! <3 BUT I like thick socks which I don't think most people would consider "dress socks."
