Kids' and baby socks: warm and sports socks
Kids' socks include warm socks, sports socks, non-slip baby socks and heated socks.
A non-slip baby sock helps with first steps; the warm Falke Active Warm sock keeps feet cozy in winter boots, and Lenz makes heated versions.
Warm kids' socks: Falke Active Warm
Falke Active Warm kids' socks, from the German brand, lead the selection for winter, in boots or hiking shoes. A warm sock is the one to wear for playing in the snow.
Heated kids' socks: Lenz
The Lenz 5.1 heated kids' sock, with a slim fit, keeps feet warm for skiing or outings in very cold weather. A heated sock is used with its battery, following the manufacturer's instructions.
Baby and kids' socks: Nike, Jordan and Sterntaler
Nike Gripper baby socks, Jordan Jumpman Crew socks and Sterntaler Soft socks round out the selection, for everyday wear and sports. Choose a kids' sports sock with a higher cut.
How to choose kids' socks
Start with the size: kids' socks are sold in shoe size ranges. Then the material: cotton for everyday wear, wool or technical fabric for winter and sports. For little ones walking around at home, a non-slip sole prevents slipping. A sock with no seam at the toe prevents rubbing.
Non-slip baby socks
Small silicone dots on the sole grip on tile and hardwood floors, for first steps at home or at daycare. A non-slip sock replaces slippers for toddlers.
Socks, slippers and kids' clothing: the full selection
Kids' slippers take over at home, the junior page brings together kids' clothing and sneakers, and adult socks gather styles for parents. Matching socks make a nice little gift.
Caring for kids' socks
Wash them at 30 or 40°C, inside out, in a mesh bag so you don't lose them, and air-dry them. Wool socks are washed on a wool cycle: wool felts in hot water.
Kids' sock colors: white, black, bright colors or patterns
White is worn for sports, black and navy for school; bright colors and patterns appeal to younger kids. Patterned socks are quick to spot in the laundry. White socks are washed at 40°C.
Seamless socks, cotton socks and kids' sock multipacks
Seamless kids' socks, with no seam at the toe, avoid discomfort under the toes for children who are sensitive to seams. Cotton socks, soft and breathable, are worn all year round with sneakers. A multipack of kids' socks covers the school week and is machine washable.
Cheap kids' socks: special offers, sale and Black Friday
Cheap kids' socks are in the junior special offers, and junior new arrivals show this season's styles. At the end of November, Black Friday junior cuts prices on kids' clothing. Fast delivery and best price guaranteed.
Frequently asked questions about kids' socks
What size socks does a child need?
Choose the size range that includes their shoe size. A sock that's too big bunches up and causes blisters, and one that's too small squeezes the toes.
How many pairs of socks does a child need?
About ten pairs will last a week, including sports days and rainy days. Identical pairs save you from hunting for the matching sock.
Are heated socks suitable for children?
Yes, for skiing or outings in very cold weather, as long as you follow the instructions and set the heat to the lowest level first. The battery recharges between outings.
How do you stop losing socks in the wash?
Wash them in a mesh laundry bag and clip each pair together before washing. One mesh bag per child makes sorting easier.
Which socks should you wear with rain boots?
Choose tall, thick socks, in wool or another warm material, that come up above the top of the boot. A tall sock prevents rubbing on the calf.
