I Need Help With Sizing Of Kids Socks So I Can Put One Inside A Dogs Boot Please
Ask a Question
I'm hoping someone can help as I've spent ages on ebay already when I'm not sure what I am looking for!
To explain briefly, one of my dogs has had 4 operations on his foot and I am now having to have a special boot made to protect it, the people making it advise to buy either a hiking sock liner or a season 2 hiking sock inside to cushion it, well obviously a dogs foot is a lot smaller than a human foot so I am trying to find the smallest size cushioned sock and I've ended up on childrens but I don't know how long they are in inches and I'm risking buying the wrong size when I'm limited for time, some prices are quite high too, so can anybody help me with the length of childrens sock sizes in inches please??
I'll tag MrsCraig in desperation as I know she has a lovely little boy but all help will be gratefully received, thanks!! x
Thanks for the suggestion Imnotcheap but I'm keeping away from stores for a while, I'm only doing my weekly visit to the Vets because I have no choice! x
If you know the length you would need in inches i could measure my sons socks to give you sn idea if that would help JoTarpley
Imnotcheap Awww thank you! That would be brilliant, I'd do it shortly, I'm having Internet trouble again and it's so slow and I keep getting a notification that Topcashback has crashed and I had it yesterday too, I installed a pop up blocker yesterday and I don't know if it's related or coincidence! All this modern technology

Imnotcheap It's 7 & 1/2" from the front of the toe to the back of the heel, that's seven and a half inches

Your best getting baby socks what size dog do you have these are think socks I googled baby cushioned socked
0-3 month socks are 4 inches, 3-6 months are 4 1/8 inches, 6-9 months are 4 3/8 inches, 9-12 months are 4 1/2 inches, 12-18 months is 5 inches, 18-24 months is 5 5/8 inches and 2 years is 6 inches.
These are rough measurements but will give you an idea.
I have a Jack Russell and she would easily fit into a 0-3 month and have room. Just depends on the size of your dogs paw.
Alternatively you could buy baby tights and cut to size and add some elastic to the top.
Although the sizes you listed aren't big enough, thanks for taking the trouble MrsCraig, I've just put the sizes on for Imnotcheap - It's 7 & 1/2" from the front of the toe to the back of the heel, that's seven and a half inches, I'm hoping they will come up with something, it's really hard when you haven't got a clue 
I really really appreciate the help though!! x
JoTarpley would something like this do, they have no heel. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Years-Old-Warm-Leg-Warmers-Childrens-Knee-Socks-Kids-Dance-Socks-Long-Tube/353166025460?_trkparms=aid%3D1110006%26algo%3DHOMESPLICE.SIM%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20200818142525%26meid%3Dcd4742d01eab4a6198424296c2241dfe%26pid%3D101195%26rk%3D4%26rkt%3D12%26mehot%3Dco%26sd%3D402387028270%26itm%3D353166025460%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D0%26pg%3D2047675%26algv%3DSimplAMLv5PairwiseWebWithBBEV2bDemotion%26brand%3DUnbranded&_trksid=p2047675.c101195.m1851
Thanks lilyflower , but I need a cushioned heel, really appreciate you trying though!! Perhaps if I post a picture of a sock I'm trying to find the size of...........??.............x
lilyflower you see something like this is cushioned and it comes in UK size 10-12 & 13-2, those sizes mean absolutely nothing to me but if I could find out how long a size 2 is for example I could do it x
I measured a 9-12 thats 6 inchesbut socks stretch 5-6adult is 6 1/2"" but fits my 9" foot
Imnotcheap you have been amazing, thank you for taking the time and trouble to do that for me, I am now sorted, relieved and very very grateful to you!! xx
Imnotcheap I'm afraid it's a permanent thing now after 4 operations but thanks for your kind wishes! x
