Original Post followed by Responses:
Just wondering what stump socks folks are using with lanyards. I currently use Royal Knit with fairly good success, but I am always looking for something better. The main issue of course being the distal hole unraveling.
I wanted to clarify: I already use the R/K reinforced distal hole stump sock.
Suggestions were to glue the distal end with Barge or Master Cement (have done that), silicone the distal end (which I don't see as any different than the R/K sock with the reinforced hole), burn the edges around the hole, and overwhelmingly to try Alps stump socks with the plastic reinforced distal hole.
I called Alps and have a few samples headed my way.
Thank you Listservers.
