Spanish to English translations [PRO]
Textiles / Clothing / Fashion / Hosiery, socks, pantyhose | | Spanish term or phrase: salvapies | The product has the same features as other tights listed in the catalogue (regarding composition, etc.)
I found some images on the Internet - but can't figure out what they are called in English.
I understand they are very thin stocking/sock thingies that only cover your foot.
Anybody know what they are in English??

Apologies for incompetent typing - I actually meant to write *footsies*, thereby agreeing with SZK

It seems my typo wasn't such a gaffe after all (see Shannon's comment below) and perhaps it was inspired by the familiarity of the word?

| Grading comment Thanks a million, Noni. I finally went for footies - what the client called them in older catalogs.
