We love plus12 too! Discovered them at the Vivobarefoot flagship store in Vienna when we were visiting Austria last year. 🙂

I’ve found some socks with more relaxed toe boxes at Old Navy and I just size up. It’s an affordable option that works for my kiddos who have more narrow feet.

Those tube socks are an amazing idea!

I’d wish something like this would be available in Europe, though they don’t even ship abroad :/
