It's driving me balmy. I end up with a cold ankle and a lump of scrunched up sock under my foot at the instep. Would heel grips in my shoes help, or is it the socks themselves which are at fault? It happens with several different pairs of shoes. The socks are from Marks & Spencers so not rubbish.

My feet are clean, I shower every day. They are cotton socks as they don't make the feet sweat like synthetic ones do,and they are the correct size for my size 5 feet. These days most socks are "one size fits all" so apart from buying children's socks I don't know what to do.

Sounds like you have ill fitting socks or ill fitting shoes, try getting your feet properly measured in a good shoe shop, like Clarks and buy socks that have at least a 5% lycra content to maintain shape, grip and hold. I find that the new modal socks hold up better than cotton, also if the socks have a part nylon mix it helps but don't go for 100% nylon socks because they make your feet sweat more and hum as a result, this is especially true for guys as our feet sweat more than womens anyway.

Most of these answers are just guesses. I doubt it is the size of the socks. I think it has to do with the fit of the shoe. If the shoe runs large, try a thicker sock. Worked for me.

I've never had this problem with normal socks - only trainer socks.
Maybe try a new pair of sock - something higher than normal?
Also, make sure the socks are pure cotton, and not some silky sort of material.
Other than that, you could try mens socks, they are often more stretchy.

I see nothing wrong with it,sounds like maybe you have sexy feet and maybe legs as well,which I have always liked a lady in pantyhose so feet and leggs is something I usually notice as well,but thats not all there is to a person either.

sew button at top of each sock (known as 'button sock cuff')

maybe buy a smaller sock, one that is actually the correct size, works for me every time

Might sound daft, but make sure they're not inside out!

That always seems to be the cause when it happens to me.
