(More customer reviews)All together, this is a decent product and I would buy it again, because it has solved my problem. I bought these grippers for my 13 month old who was just starting to walk. I've had a hard time finding socks to fit her that have grippers. I've checked all the stores in my area, and the vast majority of gripper socks are 0-12 month size. It sort of puzzles me because many babies still need sock grips beyond the 0-12 month size.
There wasn't much product info for these posted on the website, so I will provide some details here:
- The package contains 2 squares of fabric with a TOTAL of 243 grippers. I used 6 grippers per sock, so this would last for 40 socks (or 20 pairs).
- You do NOT peel the grippers off, but rather must cut out each gripper. I wasn't really prepared for that, but it turned out to not be too bad. To quantify, it takes me 20-30 seconds to cut out one gripper. So, it takes a total of a few minutes per sock.
- You will definitely need fabric glue to glue these onto your sock or slipper. I really don't see any way you could stitch it on and have the end of each gripper stay flush to the sock/slipper. Plus, I would think that several stitches through the gripper could potentially crack or tear the gripper.
- I got the best fabric-to-fabric glue I could find (it was about $3), because you want to have the best chance of success with these grippers staying on. I have laundered the gripper socks about 20 times and the grippers are still intact. I'll admit that I've dried the socks on high heat. Although that probably isn't the best thing to do with fabric glue, it works for "practical" purposes of keeping up with laundry.
- After I glued on the grippers, I also placed heavy books on top of the sock for a few hours. I suppose this might have helped to make sure the glue sticks as well as possible. Make sure to get the glue all the way to the edges of the gripper, as the gripper will definitely come loose if the edges are not secured.
Also, there are absolutely no directions or guidance that comes with the product, so don't expect to get help from that. I'm going to try to post a picture of the end result of a few of these socks...
