footies

Baby's first socks

Footies are socks that cover only the foot, with no visible portion above the shoe line—also called no-show socks or ankle socks.

The term also refers to footed pajamas for infants and children: The baby wore warm footies to bed.

In British and Australian slang, footie (singular) means football or soccer: watching the footie at the pub.
