The actual product is not yellowed. There may be thread pulls like in image 2. (Since I'm reusing the images, the location of the thread pulls may vary.) I will disassemble the three socks that are connected and ship them separately. The soles are thick. How about these to protect your child's feet, especially for long distances?
