Why Seamless Socks Help Kids with Sensitivity Challenges!

What is the difference what kind of socks you buy for your kids? When it comes to comfort, and whether or not you can get your little darling to put their socks on every day and actually wear them and keep them on, there is a big difference between kids seamless socks and socks that have seams. If you have children or grandchildren, either boys or girls, you'll know what I'm talking about, especially if your child is sensitive in regard to the clothes or fabrics that he or she wears or if your child has hypersensitivity.

Many children are rightly annoyed by sock seams, which can irritate feet and rub skin and actually make their feet hurt. Kids seamless socks are soft and smooth and completely seam-free or they may have specially designed flattened seams near the toe. Both styles are designed to cradle and hug the foot and feel cozy and comfortable so your kids will actually want to wear them everyday and keep them on their feet!

Another reason to buy kids seamless socks is because kids seamless socks give much needed relief to your child and they are specially designed not to bunch up or get lumps and bumps, which can cause aching feet and distress for your young boy or girl. These super-soft seamless socks are also the socks to wear if your child is involved in any kind of sports or activity where their feet are known to sweat more. You will find a large selection of kids seamless socks for both boys and girls in many different fabrics including quick drying blends and breathable cottons and cotton blends which are designed to wick away moisture to keep their feet dry even in warmer weather or when they’ve been running around.

There are many styles of kids seamless socks to choose from, in both boys and girls styles and sizes. Some of the choices you’ll have in kids seamless socks include seamless ankle socks, seamless crew socks, seamless knee high socks, seamless over the calf socks, seamless turn-cuff socks, seamless quarter socks, and more, in a wide assortment of basic tones such as white, black, brown and navy blue; fashion colors including red, green, pink, purple and more; and novelty print designs.

You can also find kids seamless socks available in assorted multi-pack varieties, which are sometimes priced more affordably than if you buy each pair of boys or girls kids seamless socks separately. With the holiday shopping season now here, this is a great time to stock-up on kids seamless socks while you can find them at special pre-holiday savings. Seamless socks are also great for gift-giving during the holidays and they make perfect stocking stuffers for your kids and their friends!

SmartKnit Kids Seamless Socks

The SmartKnit “family” of seamless socks, recently received the APMA Seal of Acceptance. The SmartKnit products include a patented line of seamless diabetic socks, a line of active running socks, and super soft seamless kids socks. All of these products are engineered to deliver healthy benefits and address specific needs for the wearer. The APMA is the leading professional organization representing the nation’s Doctors of Podiatric Medicine or podiatrists. The Seal of Acceptance is used to designate footwear, hosiery and other foot related products that promote good foot health.

Controlling moisture and reducing bacteria can be foot care issues for not only diabetics, but also for people on their feet for extended periods of time. SmartKnit offers products made from innovative yarns including CoolMax® and the silver fiber, X-STATIC®. These yarns are “moisture-wicking” fibers that pull moisture away from the foot thereby reducing friction. These fibers also allow the sock to dry up to four times faster than socks made with cotton. The antimicrobial X-Static silver fibers help reduce the growth of infection-causing bacteria within the sock and properties of these yarns help to keep the foot warm in the winter and cool in the summer.

Therafirm and SmartKnit branded products are manufactured by Knit-Rite, Inc., a leading designer, marketer, and manufacturer of innovative textiles for medical and consumer markets. Founded in 1923, Knit-Rite remains committed to providing products that deliver healthy benefits for a better quality of life.

Seamless Socks for Children

Sensory Processing Disorders is the term often used to describe kids who are highly sensitive and whose senses seem to be on high alert. SPD is a complex disorder of the brain that affects developing children and adults. People with SPD misinterpret everyday sensory information, such as touch, sound, and movement. They often times feel overwhelmed by their senses. Sock seams hurt, clothing tags itch, foods can't have lumps or other textures, noises can't be tolerated, and even hugs can become unbearable.

At least on the sensitivity to sock seam front, there are options available to deal with this issue. To help parent's win the battle against sock seams, Stride Rite offers Stride Rite comfort seam seamless socks. These extremely comfortable socks are perfect for children who refuse to wear socks with seams, and for those with sensory processing differences. We have personally experienced how comfort seam socks work in our own lives with our daughter who refused to put on socks everyday.

You can find Stride Rite comfort seam, seamless socks online at Tootsies Stride Rite. To go to our web site and view our various styles of comfort seam socks, simply click on our store name, Tootsies Stride Rite, or call us at 1-866-235-0626.

Ending those morning battles with your child over socks!

They hurt, ouch, ouch. No, I am NOT getting dressed. No, I can't put those socks on. I don't care if it is winter, I don't care if my feet get cold. Ouch, they hurt, stop it!"Truthfully, one of the greatest "miracles" in clothing design has been the increasing popularity of tagless clothes, seam less socks and tights.YOU ARE NOT ALONE! Many people are bothered by the feeling of tags and seams in their clothes due to tactile defensiveness, but, luckily, there is a solution.Perhaps you... have a child with Sensory Integration Dysfunction (or, Sensory Processing Disorder, as it is now called), have it yourself, don't have other signs of sensory dysfunction but simply prefer no seams socks rubbing against your toes, or are a professional looking for resources so you can purchase seam less socks... then you have come to the right place.These seamless socks are now easily available online at pretty reasonable costs. Truthfully, I am so glad for you, because they were all but impossible to find 8 years ago when my daughter really could have used them!
