Unfortunately, our little one had always quickly cold feet when it's raining. Boots in combination with these socks make your feet warm. The stockings are now even after several machine washes nicely and in shape. The calves are normal "thick". There the Sockenschäfte not constrict and there is no deep impressions. The child wears size 23 currently and I hope the stockings to Gr. 26 hold, then the slightly higher purchase price would be more than justified. Currently it looks :-)
