So how do you get this right? I find myself pulling up my trouser legs now and then as the damn things ride down, even though I tuck my cords into my socks when I don the boots.
I've seen some socks pulled right over the tops of the boots - is this the right approach? It just don't look right though!
Help please!

long socks like football socks work well and you don't need to turn them over the top of yer wellies

Get some elasticated stirrups sewn in to your trousers I think gymnasts have them on their costumes

Sealskinz socks work for me in the winter. They're a bit pricey but should last a while.

Hose or gaiters, failing that long socks over the wellies.

Rob I couldn't care less if you got three legs as long as you keep those breakfast baps of cheese, bacon and mushrooms coming when I dangle a float with you!

Never had that problem so I must be doing something right without knowing what! I do have very bald legs though, so perhaps shaving your legs will do the trick! And I do tend to wear normal sized walking boot socks!
