Footies!

This is a bit of random post but I had to share these with people. As any girl knows you cant really wear socks with ballet pumps or some little slip on shoes .... here is where footies come in. They are basically the younger brother of the trainer liner, covering just your toes and heal. 

I have a few different types of footies mainly black sock material ones but also some thin skin coloured ones and some lace ones. The lace ones are great but a bit big at the front so can be seen a bit more which isn't always what you want. The main problem you have with footies is the heal, if your shoes move a little on your heal then they can have a tendency to slip down which means you end up stopping and fiddling with your socks. The advantage to them is that your feet don't get as sticky in your ballet pumps, or if your wearing vans you dont make your shoes nasty inside and they cant be seen. 

So the main point of this isn't to introduce footies but to tell you all about these really cool ones I bought in Primark the other day. I picked them up in the queue for the tills, £2.50 for 2 pairs. 

What I really like about these is that you can see how shallow the front is so they fit under most of my ballet pumps. They are also make from a really thin slippery material that is light and breathable so they didn't make my feet very hot at all. The stitching is also a plus, this might seem daft but the fact that the bottom and sides are actually stitched means that they don't slip about under your feet. Speaking of slipping one thing I hadn't spotted when I picked them up but is a main reason I would recommend these is the little gel dots. The first lot in the bottom left pic are under the foot so stop your shoe slipping around then the next blob is on the heel. This is great as it stopped them from slipping under my foot which was awesome as its a real pain to have to fish your sock up all the time. 

I would definitely recommend anyone who wears ballet pumps a lot invested in some.
