Re: sock question

[Guest guest]

We like the Old Navy brand (thin) with grippers on the bottom. I

know there are several of us who like them. I remember Dr. Ponseti

saying to find socks as close to 100% cotton as possible, as they

allow the foot to breath better. I remember in the early days of

the DBB Zach's feet sweat a lot - and got rather stinky (those days

of 23/7 in the DBB). The Old Navy brand aren't 100% cotton - it was

difficult finding a brand that was. I know that Walmart had a brand

that was very close to all cotton - I used those sometimes too

(especially during 23/7)

Baby Gap socks have worked wonderful for us!

I actually have had the best luck with socks from

Oshkosh B'gosh with the grippers on the bottom. For

Kelsey, they worked the best in the AFO and now in her

FAB. When she was in the AFO, I did make sure she had

a sock that went up over the top of the AFO to protect

the back of her calf.

Good luck.
