Tights whose toe is actually reinforced?

Hi folks,

I generally buy my tights in Marks, but lately I've found on day 1 I will have punched a hole in both legs where my big toe sits........bar covering the tops of all new tights in nail varnish, can anyone recommend a nude pair that I wouldn't blow a hole in first wear..........btw, this isn't just Marks, it's all the general shops' tights - I've even done this with the heavy denier opaques

Awe you must be very unlucky. I have never had this problem when wearing tights. Maybe try some tights from TK-Max. I think you should ask Supergirl for some of her tights they are super indestructible :cool:

Hope you find a pair that this does not happen too for you to wear.

Would they be too short I wonder? Have you tried going up a size, so they're not stretching enough to break at the toe?

The only time this happens to me is when my toe nails have gotten too long and need trimming. Or if I’m wearing shoes that are a little too snug at the toes. And I tend to mostly wear M&S tights too.

Thanks folks - I'm going to try going up a size :-)

Why don’t you get toeless stockings from M&S? They are excellent!

It's funny, I've never had a problem with this until recently. I got pop socks In Marks a few weeks ago and within a couple of wears the toe was coming apart where my big toe is. I've always mixed and matched between marks and dunnes and Penneys and never had this problem until recently. I'm wondering if marks have changed their production process or quality of their materials or something.
