Haiku Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Where can I get socks for my kids that don't grow holes within two weeks? Target socks are definitely not cutting it. Tara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veritaserum Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 I love Gold Toe socks. They are thick and they have stripes on the toe that correspond to their size. It makes matching socks easier. :) I buy them at Kohl's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melissel Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 We have the same problem. It's so annoying! So I'm :bigear: too. FWIW, I've read that you should buy the socks one size larger, because pulling the socks tightly causes the fabric to fray faster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ottakee Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 We have had good luck with JOE BOXER socks from KMart. Just about the only thing I buy there as the closest one is about 45 minutes away but they have held up for my son. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only sizes I ever see on socks are the generic "size 3-9" types of sizes. Tara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hsmom23 Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 I have three girls and I buy the danskin socks with pink toes and heels from Walmart. They seem to hold up pretty well around here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Rat Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 We like Hanes also. I like that they have different color stitching on the toes for different sizes. Makes it easy in my family, at least it did until my boys are now in the same size socks. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alte Veste Academy Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Well, I never would have purposefully gone to Dillard's to buy socks but we happened upon an 80% off kids' shoe sale there a couple of years ago and I bought a package of their store brand socks so they could try on shoes (they were wearing sandals that day). Those socks are amazing! I now go there just for socks. Seriously. They are thick and form fitting. They don't slide around. They don't get bulky in the toe. They don't get holes. I have never had to get rid of them for any other reason than the kids growing out of them. In fact, I save DS8's socks to pass down to DS5, and that's saying a lot for a sock these days! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mchel210 Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 My DD only use socks from Dillards. They have a pink tag...dont remember the names. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wabi Sabi Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 SmartWool. Pricey, but I keep my eye on Sierra Trading Post for bargain SmartWool socks for the whole family. I bought ds 6 pairs two years ago for $4/pair and they're pretty much the only socks he wears. They're just now starting to get thin around the heels/toes.

Tap Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 I like Gymboree socks cuff socks for the young kids. They last great and are comfortable. DD5 on the other hand, likes low cut socks, so I buy her Puma socks. I get them at TJ Maxx. DD12 likes the KB socks. They are sold in a lot of places, but we buy them at Costco. She likes to mismatch/coordinate her socks, so the color themes work great for her. Ds17 gets Nike socks that water wicking and dry fast. His feet get hot, so he wears light weight socks and shoes all year long. He walks/bikes a lot so in the PNW (with its random rain showers) quick dry is a must.

justamouse Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 I swear my kid's feet sweat acid that eats the socks. Gold toes work for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluemongoose Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 aero by gold toe sold at Target. We also like gymboree and Hanna, but they are more expensive and the aero brand holds up just as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haiku Posted November 20, 2011 Author Share Posted November 20, 2011 Do feet get hot in SmartWool? How about bamboo socks? I just bought the kids some Eco Sox to wear when they play hockey, but they don't make them in kids' sizes so they wouldn't work so well for everyday wear. They are knee-highs on the kids, and my dd likes crew-cut socks. Does anyone know of any bamboo socks in kids' sizes? Tara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
