Seamless socks? My son hates the seams in his socks. I'd like to purchase seamless ones. I found some online but either the sizes listed are too large - or the say small, medium, or large without a size chart to see what the actual shoe sizes are. I'm hoping to find a store nearby that sells these so I can actually see the socks before I buy them.
Hey Melynda! My son also hates seems in his socks. He used to drive me crazy about how "uncomfortable" his socks were. I've invested a small fortune trying all kinds of brands, styles, etc. (I didn't think to look online for seemless). Anyway, my best success has been buying him white girls socks. (Of course, not the frilly kind.) For some reason, girls socks are made thinner and the seems are a lot smaller than boys.(No more lumps, as he called it!) I think Hanes was the brand, I got them at Kohls. I can double check the brand for sure, if you're interested.
Have you tired turning the socks inside out? Sometimes I did this with my son when he was younger. :lol:
:shock: That's what my son is doing these days... kids are weird. What's up with boys and seams anyway?
thats hysterical, mine hate the seams too. I have the hardest time too. I have found the nike brand (from Kohls usually) or Adidas (from Penneys) don't get any complaints from these weirdo kids of mine.:lol:
I'm assuming the one holding the sock together at the toes. They can bunch up on ya sometimes, kids can be a little sensitive about that kind of thing.
yes, that's the one for my alien children...it hits their pinky toe, the seam ends and there is 'extra' seam that bunches up....
There was a certain brand of sock that caused that problem for us, I ended up throwing them away. Can't remember which ones they were though. :? The things they can find to gripe about! :lol:
The Wal-Mart socks always did that. I just started spending a little more for the socks and no problem. I do realize that you can go broke spending more money on a kid's socks.
I use to fuss at them, thinking put the dern socks on and move on....but then I tried one on, and it was aggravatin'....so we went on the quest for seamless, or smoother seamed socks.....children.:mrgreen:
Son & I made a trip to Kohl’s this afternoon. I let him look through all the various socks (in the boys, girls, women’s & men's departments). In the end he choose 3 different brands/packs of socks to try out. We did try to figure out which ones had the smallest seams. I don't care if he wears them correctly - or inside out. I just hope not to hear any complaints about socks anymore. The other issue he has with socks is the heel. He is wearing 4 1/2 or size 5 shoes - which throws him into the bottom level of a larger sock size. He HATES it when he can pull the sock to the point where the heel of the sock no longer lands on the heel of his foot. I swear he's using both hands to pull those socks as tight as he can - and then complains about the heel sticking out of his shoe --- duh. In any case, I tried to help him pick plain white socks without thick gray heels - hoping this wouldn't be an issue any longer. According to the Internet, Tom Jones' pharmacy sells seamless, diabetic socks. They were closed today - but I plan to call tomorrow to see if they keep those in stock & if they have them in small sizes. I got a laugh while I was in the store because there was a bewildered dad who was patiently trying to suffer through the same issue with his son while we were in the store. I just can't ever remember anyone complaining about socks or seams when I was growing up. Heck ... I just complained because I had to wear shoes at all. Maybe kids these days don't run around barefoot as much so maybe their feet are just more tender/soft/sensitive ... or maybe, they don't have anything real to complain about. I'm actually amazed at how many of you seem to be able to sympathize with this problem. I never realized that sock issues were so prevalent. Seems like in the past I've seen a couple of folks on this site asking what type of businesses we'd like to see in the area ... maybe someone can open a store that caters to picky kids who are SUPER SENSITIVE about how their socks, shoes & underwear feel
How about tags?? My darling son doesn't have a shirt with a tag in it, they ALL have to be cut out. Aggravating when you try to get rid of them later, and someone says "What size is it?" :?:lol:
This sounds like my 4 yo son! Nothing has tags on it, and with 4 boys I have a lot of hand-me-downs, and I never know what size anything is when it's time to pass it down to the next one...ugh!
I try not to make a huge deal out of it, I don't think it's a case of them being "spoiled". I know I have very sensitive skin right down to not being able to use scented laundry detergent or dryer sheets, I can't wear a wool sweater, even with a turtle neck under it. Doctors told me before I ever had kiddo he would probably be the same way, so sometimes you just have to deal, lol.
So far my angel hasn't complained about the tags in his shirt - but I'm sure as soon as we get the issues with his socks, shoes & undies squared away ... the tags will be the next big issue. I really like clothing brands who have figured this out. For example, Hanes & Champion just print the info in the back of their tagless t-shirts rather than sewing in a separate tag. As you probably guessed ... I'm not in the clothing manufacturing business, but it seems like printing the info in the back of the shirt would be easier for the manufactures than printing the info on a tag & then sewing it on to the shirt.
alot of brands now do the tagless thank goodness, but mine used to hate the tags too, so they had to wear a tagless hanes undershirt so the tag wouldn't touch their skin.... and they say girls are high maintenance.
Amen!! Mine almost had a meltdown a couple weeks ago because there was a tiny hole in the knee of his jeans. Ummmmmmmm, he put it there, sliding around on his knees! So there we are, 3 minutes before the bus runs, changing pants. He's 8! Who knew they cared? LOL!
Quite the goobers they are, them little boys. I wouldn't trade them for nothing in the world. Now they are eleven and its all about the hair....they are funny. Like I said, I wouldn't trade 'em for nuttin.
