Re: What should we have for the 1st day of DBB?

[Guest guest]

We were told to try the Old Navy ones with the no slip on bottom and

our little guy could get his feet out of the shoes without a

problem, the ortho said to try a thicker sock and we found some at

Kmart that are thicker around the back and toes but thinner on top.

They are joe boxer and we have not had a problem since and the socks

also have little to no seams to cause sores. They work great except

that they are a little warm for this FL heat.LOL The package just

says 3 pack socks infant low cut (they go up to mid calf though) and

have joe boxer in color along the bottom and have almost like a

smiling face shape on the toes. Good Luck with the shoes they are

alot nicer than those casts.

,

Seems the majority of people here like the Old Navy socks with the

little grippers on the bottom. They are sort of medium weight, not

too thick and not too thin.
