This keeps me from wearing my few pairs of OTC socks. It would be fine if I was standing all day, but I'm up and down all day and every time I sit I need to pull my pant leg up, and then shake my legs to get my pant to drop when I stand.

I dip a toe into both pools here, no pun intended. Lately I've found myself really migrating to OTC for dress purposes. The socks just stay up better and give me more coverage. I feel more comfortable and confident, knowing I don't have to fiddle around with my socks during the day. Occasionally I'll have catchy/static problems, but nothing major.
