Do you have a Primark ???? Pack of 3 pairs with non slip things on the bottom 1.89, and they are brilliant, stay on and wash well, don't shrink.

jodiemay · 04/04/2004 15:03

My son Jack has always worn the socks with the little foam shapes on the bottom but he still pulls them off at every opportunity. I still buy socks from PriMark and Baby Gap but have bought slippers from John Lewis that are leather but have elasticated bands round the ankles so they can't walk out of them. They are excellent and Jack can't get them off! I think they cost about £12 but are so worth it!

Tescos are very similar to gap ones but half the price.

JennH · 04/04/2004 17:51

The market is the best place for socks. Everything falls off her feet except for the cheapy ones off the market. You can get them in small baby shops as well (the cheap ones, not the expensive boutiques).

iota · 04/04/2004 17:52

Hey Jenn I've never seen a shop for small babies - can I sell one to tehm?

Grommit · 04/04/2004 18:10

MOthercare have some which actually seem to stay on - a bit like Gap with white pattern on sole

sar7 · 04/04/2004 18:18

I too am a committed Gap sock purchaser but I have also found that H&M do some virtually identical to Gap that stay on as well. And cheaper of course.

Millie1 · 04/04/2004 20:45

Another vote for Gap!

kiwisbird · 04/04/2004 20:46

Pumpkin patch have some that are good but some that are crap too
