I've done the same thing with SMT .100 dual row headers and sockets. The .100 headers fit a piece of FR4 nicely down the middle. I solder the header pins to pads on either side of the PCB. Then I solder the SMT legs of the header to the socket. What works best are the old sockets made for resistors like the Aries series 600 DIP headers with coined contacts. When the parts bin is lacking these sockets I go for a Mill-Max machined socket because it provides sufficient exposed metal on the socket side to solder to.
