Guest guest Posted August 21, 2004 Report Share Posted August 21, 2004 Pretty sure the McBaby socks are still for sale in stores - but just about anywhere has no-skid these days. Try to avoid socks with seams when possible. s. Re: socks & boots Hey Tamsin, Old Navy sock are thin with the plastic? bubble letters on the bottom. The stuff on the bottom is no skid, so it helps prevent slipping in the shoes. The Old Navy 0-3 month socks were too small for Zoe until she got older. Any socks with the stuff on the bottom would work. We also just used the thickest socks (without the no skid stuff) for a while because her feet were so tiny. I had some from Walmart from my first child, the McBaby line. Not sure if they do them anymore. Just try to imagine your feet in socks with a really tight shoe. Try to get all of the wrinkles out and get the heel in the right part of the sock, even if you have a flappy bit hanging at the front (from the toes). I also try to make sure that the stitching part at the toe is on the front of her foot (running along her toes, not on top, but in front). I noticed that that stitching made extra little dents in her feet and thought that it couldn't be to comfy.

Guest guest Posted August 21, 2004 Report Share Posted August 21, 2004 Wouldn't the nonskid stuff on the bottom be just like the seams on the socks? I thought about using those before, but figured that the nonskid stuff would be uncomfortable pressing on the bottoms of his little feet for all those hours. Once I get the shoes buckled on him, I pull the socks up more to pull out anything that might have scrunched up while putting the shoes on. Then I pull the socks out at his toes so they puff out and give him room to wiggle his toes. This gets the seam out from between his feet and the shoes too. and BCF 03/25/2004 DBB 23/7 > Re: socks & boots > > > > Hey Tamsin, > > Old Navy sock are thin with the plastic? bubble letters on the > bottom.

Guest guest Posted August 21, 2004 Report Share Posted August 21, 2004 We use the thinnest socks possible. We tried the old navy ones, and similar, and it made his shoes too tight on him. The thin ones work best, and his shoes don't fall off because I can tighten the buckle as much as possible. tracy@...> wrote: Wouldn't the nonskid stuff on the bottom be just like the seams on the socks?

Guest guest Posted August 21, 2004 Report Share Posted August 21, 2004 Personally I never noticed any difference so I quit paying the extra for no skid and went with regular socks but some people seem to notice a big difference. s.

Guest guest Posted August 21, 2004 Report Share Posted August 21, 2004 I have noticed that Kaitlin has little red spots on the bottoms of her feet...looks like it could be from the letters on the non-skid socks. Do they make seamless socks? Freeman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
