My little boy has recently been given boots and bars for mild talipes, we tried normal socks for the first few nights however ended up with blisters. We ordered these socks in the hope that once the blisters healed and could use the boots and bars again that they would help prevent further damage to his feet - can honestly say we were amazed by them! The nonslip grips on the bottom are so helpful when trying to strap his foot in place without the worry of him sliding his foot forward last minute and they are long enough that can fold them over the top of the boot so the boot isn’t rubbing against his leg. He has had no marks or blisters at all since using these socks, will definitely be getting more once he needs to size up!! Would give more than 5 stars if possible, thank you so much!
