These really are great quality ~ the cut, fabric and skid proof bottoms... they just have too tight of elastic across the top for my 14 mo old (he is tall and we got him the 3T size... footbed is perfect fit, just leaves Mark's on top of feet)... so I simply removed the bands and am sewing new elastic straps on top. Maybe if you used a softer elastic, like pajama or lingerie elastic that would have more 'give' ~ that would still keep them on but have more foot size options. I know some babies ha...
