I found with James if I put baby legs on him and they went over his socks he couldn't get them off. ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">  Was danni-chick Mum to James My Angel 28/07/08 |

I put Seb into soft soled shoes when he started doing that, but he was about 7-8 months then I think. -------------

Baby Legs and/or Bobux! Even now the gremlins don't keep their socks on so I bought them some Bobux slippers for home and shoes for when we go out. But the Baby Legs also worked well too. -------------  Maya Grace (28/02/03)

haha...Ella does that as well. I think after summer she isn't used to wearing anything on her feet. Sometimes I put her in shoes, but I don't know if like the idea of her always wearing shoes (even if they are soft soled). We have got some baby legs, but atm Ella legs are so chubby that the baby legs are too tight on her. Didn't realise bobux made slippers....might check them out. ------------- Mum to Ella (5) and Tom (2) |

Eva hates socks and shoes too. She rubs her little feet together and flicks them off! I'm always having to pick up a trail of socks when we go out. Can't offer any suggestions sorry! ------------- http://alterna-tickers.com">

I cant buy pants with feet in them as he has strangley large feet for his age, so even if the pants fit, the feet are always too tight!

LOL Sam, Maya has strangely enormous feet, apparently it means they're going to be tall. As a baby they looked like flippers  ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)

You can try different kinds of slippers but we found tights (under trousers) best. I know it seems girly but if I had a boy who insisted on pulling socks off I think I'd buy navy blue ones and reserve them only for under trousers and they'd just look like socks anyway. ------------- |

I know someone who found some very cool green camo boy's tights for her son, for under his pants in winter - didn't seem at all girly, just really practical! Yeah, we resorted to tights last winter - warmer, too. Erm, soft leather shoes (didn't do Bobux, but Pitter Patter's worked) used to keep Ella's socks on too. ------------- Andie |

It's a battle we don't even try and win in our household. Sam hates shoes & socks so much she even takes them off other kids when she sees them wearing them!!!!
If it is a cold day I just make sure she has a hat on as most of the heat escapes from their heads anyway
Oh, and Sam wears babylegs and if we put socks on under them then both the babylegs and socks get removed
