Lost Marbles

Trumpette baby socks are designer baby socks recently featured in top parenting magazines and promoted by several celebrity moms, most recently Jessica Alba. What is the value of Trumpette socks beyond the hype? This review looks at Trumpettes designs, styles and materials to help you make an informed choice about designer baby socks. Let’s start with Jessica Alba’s choice for her toddler daughter: Mary Jane Trumpette socks. These socks are stylized like the classic Mary Jane strap shoe. Like all Trumpette socks, they have skid-resistant heels so they actually function like baby shoes around the house. Perfect for preventing kitchen and bathroom slips.

Mary Janes come in a variety of colors, including brights and pastels. The socks have a fitted toe and heel, which really makes the socks fit snugly over those baby feet. Many parents complain that baby socks come off too easily; this is not a problem with Trumpette socks. The socks are made with 80% cotton, 17% nylon and 3% spandex. Further elastic at the top of the sock prevents slippage. Trumpette baby socks are designed for the first year of babydom, but really most babies over 8 months of age will probably fit better in Trumpettes’ bigger toddler socks. A final attractive feature of these designer socks is their innovative gift boxes. Each kind comes in six or more pairs, and is handsomely packaged in tiny gift boxes. This alone has made Trumpette toddler socks the gift-to-beat at baby showers.
