I don't like wearing most pumps and dress shoes without stockings, but "knee-highs" are a bit much, and I like the "no hose" look. I found these no-show socks at Kohls as part of the Simply Vera Vera Wang line. I really like them! Despite their small size, they do stay on, thanks to a special "grippy" heel. If you're looking for an alterntive to stockings, these are worth a look. I bought mine in a pkg. of 2 pair at Kohls on sale for $6.99.
