Seamless Socks

Post Reply New Topic

We have a new issue (or our son is just now vocalizing it) with socks being uncomfortable and it takes a good amount of time adjusting and readjusting his socks before leaving the house. They can be OK before the shoes go on and then when he puts his shoes on they shift. His socks and shoes are both the correct sizes.

Is there a particular brand of seamless sock that works best? Obviously, we would rather spend less money than more, but if a particular brand is more expensive but works much better, that would make it worth trying if it is not crazy expensive, if that makes sense.

I get running socks. If he is the right size for a women's small they seem to go on sale. The kind that says blister free for running, try a few and something should work. They often don't go much above the ankle but they work.

My daughter only goes for a certain material, and prefers one brand. Not cheap but they do last.

Some running socks have arch support which can be annoying if you don't want to be squeezed. Buying up a size helps. It's really the no blister aspects that you're after, and the label usually says what they do.

Cool. Thanks. We went and bought a couple of different kinds at our local box stores, one athletic (with arch support), one not. We tried the inside out trick before but I think something happens to make the socks misshapen after they are worn and washed a few times that makes them uncomfortable. So it is not just the seam, it may be the general shape of the shock becoming ill-fitting.

We are going to try these and see what happens.

Thanks!

I wear mine up side down a lot so the stitched in heal is not being stepped on and is not being stretched over my foot.

This must be an ASD thing. I had the same problem when I was a kid with the seam driving me nuts. Turn the sock inside out and put it on his foot so the seam is on top of his toes rather than infront of them. I do not know of a sock that has no front seam.

We buy Jefferies seamless socks. We had major issues with socks before we found them. It could take up to an hour to get socks feeling just right in the past. Now, he has only minor issues occasionally. You can find them online, but I have had a difficult time finding them in stores. I get them on Amazon. For some reason, my son will only wear the "athletic" version of them, with the shorter rim. They have gray color around the foot. I tried another version of Jefferies that did not work as well. He might go for the 'crew' version but, since he has not complained about the ones he has, I have not tried those. We have tried the Stride Rite version of seamless socks, which did not work at all for him.

I just don't wear socks. It's not a big deal. Even in winter, it gets down to 40 below but if I'm wearing decent boots, my feet won't get cold.
