Won't buy again
No, I don't recommend this
These knee-highs are awful and not worth the price. They feel good when you take them out of the packet, but they slip down as soon as I start walking in them - there just isn't enough elastic in the top band and I don't have skinny legs - horrid to have baggy ankles! Won't be buying them again.

2 Pr Cotton Sheer Knee Highs
No, I don't recommend this
Not like the charcoal ones I purchased previously. They did seem comfortable, but on wearing I found they would not keep up unless underneath leggings, inside walking socks/trousers where it didn't really matter but they did (unintentionally) keep my feet cosy during recent springtime arctic conditions. I felt like that well-known character from "Last of the Summer Wine" - not a good look!

Top not tight enough
No, I don't recommend this
Wouldn't buy these knee highs again. They do not have enough elastic in the top and fall down all the time you are walking. Doesn't look very elegant when you have to keep stopping to pull your sock's up!

What has happened to this product?
No, I don't recommend this
I have bought this product for many years and was 100% satisfied. In the last few months I have now spent £48 on this product and with each pair I have worn there is a problem with the knee highs not staying up and I cannot fathom out why. I have noticed that recently you added silver particles to the product and I am wondering if this is what is causing them to slip down. If not this, I think it must be not enough elastane. I really want to buy this product as I want cotton sheer 40 denier and knee high. I have no replacement. As someone who has shopped in M&S since I was a child, I wish to continue as a customer. Are you able to help? Are other people having this problem?

not worth the money
No, I don't recommend this
I have worn knee highs for some years, but these are not worth buying, as they fall down with in 15 mins, and I have do not have skinny legs, the cheaper Knee highs much beter value.

The worse knee highs ever
No, I don't recommend this
The knee highs are the worse ones I have ever purchased. The tops are so big on them that they fall down as you are walking! If I had skinny legs I could understand it, but I have quite big legs so I tend to find knee highs quite tight around the top. I suggest you try the new thermal knee highs if you don't want them falling down.

V. disappointing purchase
No, I don't recommend this
I have bought these for years from M & S & they have done the job perfectly. Unfortunately I ignored previous reviews, which mentioned these knee highs not staying up, having never had that problem before. Don't know why M & S has changed the design - money? - but it's all true: they're hopeless. Won't stay up at all. V. frustrating

Poor Fit
No, I don't recommend this
was very dissapointed with these knee highs. Coarse and scratchy fabric and very loose ribbed top means they work there way down when worn.

Bad purchase.
No, I don't recommend this
This is the first time ever I have complained about an M&S product. Dreadful fit, around my ankles within ten minutes of wearing them,. Very very disappointed. Unable to return them , due to disposing of the packaging too soon. Sadly they are in the recycling bin.

Not worth one star
No, I don't recommend this
Bought two pairs of these - one is in the bin and the other is going back. Terrible quality, will be down round your ankles in minutes. Worst buy ever!

Cotton socks.
No, I don't recommend this
I recently bought these socks - they seemed to be exactly what I was looking for. However they just dont stay up very well. Especially after a few washes! The 'comfort' top is just too comfortable!

Do you want the Nora Batty effect?
No, I don't recommend this
These knee highs might suit ladies with thicker calves, but on an average leg width they will end up at your ankles.

40 denier sheer knee highs
No, I don't recommend this
These were extremely disappointing as they fell down to my ankles within 1 hour of wearing.

High quality cotton feel
Yes, I recommend this
I love the high amount of cotton in these socks. You don't get that hot scratchy feel that you get with nylon ones. they are a perfect fit and don't fall down at all. Wish I could get navy ones as have the grey and black ones.

At last
Yes, I recommend this
At last some suitable knee highs with cotton and with a wide enough band at the top which does not cut in and leave you with a line round your calf at the end of the day - I usually have to resort to cutting half way through the elastic and rolling the knee-highs down to prevent circulation problems (another make from another shop), so really pleased to find these in a choice of colours. A bit pricey but SO worth it.

One size does not fit all
No, I don't recommend this
Too small for my size 8 feet. The sock only comes up to mid calf after washing, which feels uncomfortable and looks bad, particularly with a skirt. Otherwise lovely. Will not be buying again unless more sizes available, as with mens socks.

Please do these in 'Natural'
Yes, I recommend this
These socks are excellent and are a much better alternative to thick socks. Please, please, do these knee highs in 'Natural' as well as the black and charcoal. Thank you.

knee highs
Yes, I recommend this
I've bought M&S knee-highs before and they fitted well, but these latest ones are very large and loose - and I have large feet (size 8)

Not Good
No, I don't recommend this
There was no stretch in these so I had no chance of getting them even slightly over my toes. The material felt very rough and I wouldn't have wanted this next to my skin for any length of time. Poor quality for the price.

Cotton sheer perfect for me
Yes, I recommend this
Have been wearing these knee highs for some time and love them so much thought it was time I wrote a review. I was surprised to read some negative reviews and wonder why if people prefer the 'second skin' type hosiery why they are buying the cotton type. Anyway I love them because I can wear them all day without even being aware that I am wearing them unlike the usual opaque type which on me feel like they get tighter and tighter with each passing hour. I have not had the problem that some people have in slipping down. I probably adjust them a couple of times a day but I accept this as they have a high percentage of cotton which is not intended be as tight as lycra. Went to buy some more today and love the charcoal colour. keep making them M & S
