Since I have small feet, I'm a size 9, all the generic brands that I see at target/walmart of no show/heel socks are about 1-2sizes too big for my feet. I've tried looking at kids sizes but they don't seem to have them in solid colors as I would prefer. Does anybody know any brands that sell solid colored no show/heel socks for people that have size 9 feet? The ones from hanes for example are 10-13 which is just a tad bit too big for me unfortunately.

would never thought of that

up to this point, those socks at targer/walmart weren't a problem since I havent really worn slipons

however, I realized that some slipons look better if you have a tiny amount of the sock showing, hence why I need new socks lol

what size are your feet? are women's socks just one size fits all?

i'm looking for something more than your normal white socks-a mixture of white/black and maybe the occasional bright color

You do realize that sock sizes are different than shoe sizes? Mens shoe size 8 1/2 - 12 1/2 = 10 - 13 sock size I believe. If they are too long though, I guess go for the girls socks...

I am a size 8 and buy at target in the boys department I think the L. so try the XL or whatever is the max size for boys.
BTW, it's also cheaper.

seriously, i dont know why people suggest out-of-our-range alternatives when some of us are buying socks, etc. at places like walmart and target.
anyways, thanks for this thread, i needed some new socks too.

i might try the black ones but for that price? unless the material is so different to warrant a $6 difference for the white ones theres no point in getting some cheap white ones from target or w/e compared with the banana republic ones

Oh my god. Just buy a pair of socks and quit posting here. Isn't this your 4th thread you've created about buying no show socks? I mean, if you're not finding them at target/walmart for really cheap dozen packs, you might just have to suck it up and shell out $6-8 per pair at BR or somewhere else. Sometimes if you want something specific, you have to pay a bit more. If you want to do everything on the cheap, you have to make sacrifices.
