Why Kids Need The Right Socks
Putting children in the wrong size socks can be bad for their feet. Too small and their toes are cramped and bent too large and theres no support or cushioning between their feet and their shoes; and theres no point getting shoes that fit properly if they have to accommodate excess sock when theyre being worn.
This doesnt mean that you have to pay over the odds for expensive kids socks, or change socks every time they change a shoe size. Just make sure that you pick well-made socks that will fit snugly on your childs feet, providing protection between their skin and the shoe.
Materials
Many kids socks today use Lycra. This material helps to make fabrics stretchy and fitting, so its perfect for socks for little ones. It makes it easier for them to put the sock on, but also lets the sock fit their feet really well for additional comfort. Cotton is a breathable material, so its ideal for socks, particularly if you have active kids that are running around all day. A combination of cotton and Lycra is common in socks for youngsters.
Sizes
Like adult socks, childrens socks come in a range of sizes, and one pair can fit feet within a set shoe size range. Make sure that you check the size range before you buy the socks. If your child has particularly narrow feet, it might be worth dropping down a size when it comes to socks and vice versa for children who have broad feet. Your childs feet grow at difference speeds, so there may be as much as a whole shoe size difference between the right and left foot. Each time you get your kids feet measured make sure you have the right size socks in the drawer.
Spend a little time getting your kids the right socks and theyll have miles of comfortable running and walking ahead of them.
