Socks and Shoes

7/19/2017

The order of socks and shoes from Affordable Designs arrived today. Four pairs of sneakers and one pair of blue sandal shoes. I went with Affordable designs' running shoes, because they are smaller, not as 'clunky' looking, don't rise up the ankle to interfere with the bottoms of pants, and they look in better scale than the ones by Mimiwoo, but they aren't as well made, or of as durable materials. But as everything seems to have a trade-off, and scale, and how things look, is more important to me, I went with the ones from Affordable Designs......

I had also ordered three pairs of socks to go in my hockey skates. They look great, and mostly are - except for the top edge, which isn't finished very well. Some of the sock's elastic is loose and I'm concerned the knitting will 'run'. I really need to hem the top edges to secure the top rows, but the stitches are so super tiny.

The shoes are very cute.

Thanks! With all the boys I have now, I really needed some more running shoes.

It's just so difficult to decide sometimes when one has to shop online from pictures. But I was recently given some Mimiwoo sneakers, so could actually compare them to the Affordable Designs one two of my boys wear.

So cute! What do you think of the sandal fit? I've been considering a red pair...but, wasn't sure of the fit. Thanks a lot!

I haven't tried them on yet, so will have to get back to you on that.

Okay, I tried them on. They are a bit loose around a bare foot, but still look nicely in scale - not big and clunky like the sneakers. They fit really well with thin socks, but I don't know if one would wear socks with that kind of shoe. But maybe they could be dressy sandals with a socks and a dress.

I took photos, but can't add them here, so will post them tomorrow.
