baby shoes that stay on
Socks simply do not stay on DD's feet. Not because she pulls them off, but
because they just slide right off. Maybe it's because she's so chubby she has no ankles for the socks to grab onto . . . ah, the power of breastmilk. Going barefoot had been working fine, but now it's getting colder and I want some protection for her poor feet. Today, while we were on our walk, I had to turn around 4 times to pick up a sock. So it's time for some action. Anyway, I'm looking for suggestions for soft, comfortable shoes/slippers/moccasins (even some kind of spectacular socks) that aren't too pricey. She's nowhere near walking yet, so I just need something that will provide warmth and (this is key) *stay on her feet.* What do you folks like? -- Jodi SAHM to Oliver (2 years, 8 months) & Arwen (6 months) |

I always used the socks from Children's Place (we have stores nearby
and they also have them on the website childrensplace.com). They were the only ones I found that would always stay on - they are nice and stretchy, but not too tight. And they have the 'no-slip-grips' on the bottom so when they started walking I didn't worry about slipping so much. I had one very chubby, round little girl, and one not so chubby, tall, thin little boy and they worked great for both of them. Neither one of the wore shoes until they were about a year old and then only outside. On Fri, 17 Oct 2003 18:59:51 GMT, "hobbes" wrote: Socks simply do not stay on DD's feet.

Hannah Andersson makes some nice slippers that have leather bottoms. DD loves them. They are warm and come up the leg pretty high.

She's nowhere near walking yet, so I just need something that will provide warmth and (this is key) *stay on her feet.* Baby Gap triple-roll socks. A little bit expensive, for socks, but they really do stay on. And they have fairly effective grippy stuff on the soles, which is nice for standing/cruising babies on slippery floors. You can also try Robeez/Bobux/Padders type soft sole slippers. Holly Mom to Camden, 2.5 yrs |

DS used to wear a pair of mocassin-like shoes that had an elastic band around the ankle, but rather high up. I bought them in one of these 3d-world shops and have never seen the like of it again, so if you find it, let me know, they were a marvel! -- -- I mommy to DS (15m) guardian of DH (32) EDD 05/17/2004 War doesn't decide who's right, only who's left |

They had a little elastic at the ankles - not nearly enough to be tight, but enough that he'd have to work at it to get them off. Clisby |

I really, really liked Padders. I had a zillion pairs in various
colours and all three of my kids wore them into toddlerhood. They stay on well, and I just ditched the whole baby sock idea when I discovered them. http://www.padders.com/fashions_spring.html Mary G. |

I don't know if it was the same brand, but it was the same type of shoe/slipper. Clisby |

What do you folks like? Childrens' Place and Baby Gap socks - they're triple roll, so you can pull them up high enough that they'll stay up. Shoes - Robeez, Buskins, etc. are great for developing feet and don't come off. -- iphigenia www.tristyn.net "i have heard the mermaids singing, each to each. i do not think that they will sing to me." |
