Prevent Sock Issues with Children Seamless Socks

Have you ever heard your child complain about how their socks felt? Children often times suffer from sensory issues specifically with how some things feels on their body. This is why kids find clothes, and those pesky tags itchy and scratchy too.

For the more severe instances, the discomfort can feel so painful that the child will cry out. Their feet are no different and companies are now responding with seamless socks for kids. No matter whether your child suffers from a sensory disorder, is diabetic, or just doesn't like the way their socks feel, maybe it is time to have your child try a pair of seamless socks.

Seamless socks work by removing the seam located at the toe, and and this is done by working the sock backwards, or from the toe up. By simply changing the way the sock is made it can end the discomfort, or pain triggered by seamed socks. A seamed sock can also gather at the toe, which can cause blisters. With a child's feet being very unique from adult feet,due to the fact they are constantly growing and more sensitive, no one can assume that their socks fit like adults.

When buying socks for kids, you must insure you are getting the appropriate fit. Socks should never be loose, but should instead hug your child's feet. Look for materials that have some give to them like lycra yarns and never buy them too big or your child may develop blisters. An additional feature to look for, especially if buying crew or knee highs, are non-binding tops. Child seamless socks come in a assortment of styles, like crew, ankle and even knee high. They also come in a range of colors for both girls, boys and neutral colors.There are tons of great options, to keep your child pleased, pain free and trendy at the same time.

Kids seamless socks in many styles and colors are available online at Tootsies Stride Rite.

Introducing Seamless No Show 6 Pack Glitzy Pets Socks


Introducing Stride Rite's seamless socks, the no show 6 pack Glitzy Pets for Summer.

This no-show comfort seam cotton socks with assorted colors including fuchsia, light pink and green, etc., for girls including colored heels and toes, stripes, etc., is designed around Stride Rite's girl shoe Glitzy Pets, with a "kid friendly" comfort seam toe in 6 pairs per package.

Seamless socks feature a comfort seam, a hand-linked, cross-stitched pattern that flattens out when the sock is put on, which gives the feeling of seamless to your child. This eliminates the irritation your child experiences when wearing regular socks, since regular socks have a ridged seam, a "bump," over the toes on the inside of the sock. We have helped thousands of children, including one of our own deal with the issue of putting on their socks.

The glitzy pets sock is constructed of 67 percent cotton for breathability and comfort and 22 percent polyester, 8 percent nylon and 3 percent spandex to maintain shape even after many machine washings.

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 can help kids

Seamless socks are some of the most comfortable socks you can buy, but they can be lifesavers for kids with tactile defensiveness. Tactile defensiveness is a condition caused by neurological disorganization in the part of the brain that filters incoming stimuli. Because the brain cannot process and sort out all of the incoming data, the body is overwhelmed with information. Tactile defensiveness can lead to producing high levels of distress in kids who do not wear seamless clothing. Because the skin of a tactile defensive person is extremely sensitive, clothing tags and seams can be awfully irritating, to the point where the kids refuse to wear socks even on the coldest winter days. Footwear often causes big problems suffering from this condition. Because most socks contain seams, they can unintentionally bunch up inside of shoes and spur a lot of irritation. By using seamless socks for kids, the sock is more fitted to the foot and will reduce the level of irritation a person might have. Whether or not your child suffers from tactile defensiveness or just is extremely sensitive to seams, seamless socks are an excellent alternative to normal socks and don’t look odd at all. They are just more comfortable socks
