I bought my first box of Trumpette socks when I was pregnant and nesting...that's where my addiction to them started.  I have tried other store brands of socks, Carters, Old Navy, etc., none come even close to these!  Besides being available in super cute designs, they are definitely worth the higher price.  The bows do not separate in the wash, the socks do not slip off babies feet (like nearly EVERY other brand does).  Even though they do not slip off the babies foot, they also do not leave an impression mark of being tight.  The cotton is a nice quality that washes well.  Also the socks have rubber bottoms, helps prevent any slip and slides when your baby starts to become more mobile.

Small tip:  Get a mesh net/bag to wash these in.  I found they wash better in a bag all together, and do not get lost or eaten by the dryer.
