Lace up boots also, so no problem - use black gym socks.

Looked around and found these sock garters. The guy's shoes are a little . . . different though.

Go to a dirt bike store and buy some motocross socks. Long, fluffy, good protection and they stay up. See, dirt bike riding does help you on the street.

Techsox work great. Never had a problem with them falling down.A little pricey. You can find them cheaper at some of the shows. Here's their website.

I like Thorlo over the calf socks or Browning over the calf..you can find them in outdoor stores or hunting stores....Maybe REI or Dicks sporting goods....I like the compression style socks it makes my legs a lot more comfortable when i am riding for the most part of the day.
