Seamless socks would have saved many a morning battle trying to get the children dressed. These specially made socks are handlinked to eliminate the bulky and uncomfortable seam at the toe. If you have a child who has a sensitivity to standard socks, you know the difficulty in trying to get them dressed. Have them try on some seamless socks and see how your days can begin more peacefully. You’ll find plain white seamless toe socks in some specialty children’s shoe stores, but the best variety is found on the internet.

Tic Tac Toe makes the widest variety of children’s seamless socks, including argyle socks, boys’ graphic fun socks, and infant socks. Other seamless socks brands for children include:

Stride Rite Comfort Toe socks come in a variety of different sock heights and styles from dress socks, knee socks, no show socks, and boys’ and girls’ sports styles.

Smartknit Kids by Therawear makes seamless socks in 3 different sock heights and in a variety of 5 solid colors.

Jefferies offers seamless socks in 5 heights in solid colors, and they also offer seamless organic cotton socks.

Will I wear my athletic socks to go exercise in, or will I wear my patterned socks to coordinate with my outfit, or will I wear my comfortable everyday wool socks? For any number of daily activities we take part in, we frequently make decisions about socks, sometimes multiple times a day. Have you ever taken the time to look through your socks and categorize them? Here are mine:

comfortable everyday Smartwool socks

cotton/spandex exercise socks

colored/patterned cotton socks for coordinating

fleece socks for cold nights

knee high socks for boots

wool crew socks for hiking

cotton/nylon socks for dress pants

nylon stockings for the rare dressy occasion

Many people have twice as many categories.  Now, there’s a category we all have in our socks drawer that we must admit to. We all have the socks rejects at the bottom: the ones we’ve never worn because they’re the wrong color or don’t fit, the ones that have worn out or stretched out, and the better-save-them-just-in-case socks. Makes one wonder, how much money have you wasted on those socks of poor quality or poor fit?

So, I’m on a quest to find the best socks on the market, socks that will fit comfortably, perform well, last a long time and suit a variety of wardrobe styles. I believe that when you have comfortable feet, you’re ready to move, you’re less irritated, and generally happier. So, I believe that it’s a worthy quest, and look forward to sharing my discoveries with you. Stay tuned!
