These socks are very cute and I was glad to receive a few pairs of the "Rosies" as hand-me-downs. They stay on pretty well too, but are certainly not "kick proof."
Overall, however, my opinion of the whole Trumpette "shoe look-alike" line has lessened somewhat the longer I've owned them. First, as a reviewer has already noted, the design on the socks should really be improved so that the "shoe" comes up higher in the back to compensate for the inevitable slipping of the sock. When the sock slips, (and it will slip regardless of how well it fits, but even more so when it is slightly too tight or slightly too large, which is most of the sock's life on the baby!), the design isn't as nice, since it looks like the "shoe" is coming off. I find myself constantly tugging on my daughter's socks to pull up the "shoe" part. Now, the only reason I bother tugging at all with so many better things to do with my time is because these socks are just so darn cute and I love to see that little "shoe" on her. But, really, Trumpette and the companies that make similar socks should take note of this for future models.

The next issue I have is the size. As a few others have pointed out, these socks are most definitely NOT 0-12 months. I would say they would be best advertised as 0-6 months, but they would probably more realistically fit a 2-7 month old. My daughter is somewhat on the small side (25th percentile in height and weight at 3 months, 25th percentile in weight and 50th percentile in height at 6.5 months, if that gives you any indication) and the socks fit her fine at 2 months when we first got them. Now at 7 months, they are pretty tight and the shoe design slips down quite easily. I would say if your baby is 6 months old already or is large, I would skip the 0-12 months size and go straight for the 1-2 year size, which unfortunately doesn't seem to be available in all the styles/colors. I just bought the 1-2 year size and they fit my girl pretty well now at 7 months; they're just a tad too large, but they stay on fine and look fine too.

Another option is to get another brand that makes similar "shoe socks." I personally think Mudpie's versions are even cuter than Trumpette's (added decorations like patterns on the socks and rhinestones on the "shoe") and they run slightly larger than the Trumpette 0-12 months, despite their advertised size of 0-6 months. (They are not as large as the Trumpette 1-2 yrs, though.) I love my daughter's Mudpies and I don't see the brand nearly as often as Trumpettes on other babies' feet. Dolly and Dimples is another brand to try - They are supposedly 0-9 months and have some very cute variations of the "sock shoe." For a cheaper version (and less variety of styles/colors), The Children's Place has a Mary Jane "shoe sock."

The last complaint I have is that Trumpettes don't seem to be available to purchase in quantities less than 6. I would have liked to try a combination of the various styles and colors, buying them singly or in pairs. But, at 24 dollars per pack of six in the stores and online, I won't do it. A few of the other brands let you buy one or three pairs, making them cheaper options if you want to mix and match or really just want one pair.

Trumpettes have a great idea, and they seem quite popular with mothers of daughters in particular, but they could definitely be improved, and they aren't the only ones on the market either.

These socks are adorable and the quality is excellent. I just wish they were sized 0-6 and then 6-12. The idea that these socks are going to fit a newborn and a one year old is ridiculous. My daughter is six months old and these fit her well now, but they would have fallen off of her before about three months and probably will only fit her for a few more months.

I'd guess these are comparable to a 6-9 month size, so in between a 0-6 and a 6-12.

These socks are very cute and we have received multiple compliments each time my daughter has worn them. I particularly love the variety of colors in the package - not just pink and purple like most baby girl stuff. Surpisingly we are getting the most use out of the Orange ones as they pick up the color of some flowers, etc, in many of her clothes. They do run small. I ordered the 6-12 month size and they fit her nicely at 12 weeks old. No way they will last until six months.

I bought this for my small 6 month old, and they're already too small even though they're supposed to fit up to a year. My kid's now 10 months and only 16 lbs, they should still fit!! If you're going to buy these, buy them early.

I bought these for my one year old granddaughter because she has very small feet and felt that after reading the reviews and the sizing range, these would still fit her at 12 mos and you could say they did. However, the adorable pattern is lost as they slip a bit down on her ankle and the design is too far under the foot. In this regard, they are too large. And, what I didn't consider is that at this age, she is pulling off her socks. My recommendation to the manufacturer would be to alter the design to allow for more foot area to be covered with this and to shoot for a younger audience.

I love these socks. Yes, they're adorable, but more importantly they stayed on my infant's feet during the winter months. I've since given these socks to all my mom-to-be friends.

No way these will fit up to 12 months. My son is 5th percentile, and the trumpette socks fit him up to 4 months. Imagine if they were for a bigger baby, no way at all. Trumpette customer service not helpful when I called to see if there are bigger size. THey don't know their products at all!

These Mary Jane-style socks are SO cute on little feet. We received a set for the holidays, and I am now ordering some as baby gifts. For full effect, I would say they work best on feet that are at least 4 to 6 months old.

I just love these socks. They actually stay on my daughter unlike most other brands. She outgrew the infant size and now at 8 months wears the toddler size. I just bought her size 2 shoes, which are still roomy, so her feet are small... but these toddler socks fit just right.

Very cute socks. The bow is a little high on the "shoe" and so is covered by my daughter's pants, but they are still cute and are a great alternative to real shoes since she's not walking yet. A note on the size: the band at the top does run small. My daughter is 4 months old and it's pretty tight, but the foot part is still loose. She won't be able to wear these until 12 months I'm sure, but will be able to get a little more use out of them. I think that's what happens when you make a sock intended to fit a newborn through 12 months!
