SmartKnit KIDS Seamless sensitivity socks

Price: 6.95 to 9.95 depending on style, size, and place you buy from.

Where: Go HERE to find a place to buy your socks, including Denmark, UK, Canada, and US

Several years ago my son laid and writhed on the floor of my in-laws house. After repeatedly seeing him carried into the house because he refused to wear is socks and shoes they tried to help. I told them he can’t stand shoes.  I told them he HATES socks. They wanted to help me, pregnant and carrying a 4 year old was not easy. So they tried to put on his socks and shoes. The ensuing outburst followed by a 40minute rage was a bit eye opening for them. That day they understood the power of  a sensory defensive child.

My son is awesome! He is a great kid that loves everyone and everything in world. Except socks and shoes. With help over the years and a lot of shoe shopping we have been able to keep him in socks he accepts “cause I have to” and shoes that can be big and floppy around his foot. I often wanted to find that perfect pair of socks that would ease the everyday pain of trying to put socks on him.

Now I have found them! Can you believe seamless socks! After years of sock angst I was interested but not terribly hopeful.

The box man brought them..in my house, everyone mobs the poor man every time he comes 🙂 I received 3 white sets of different sizes. I handed Mr Picky the socks to see what he thought. He fingered them for a minute, rubbed them on his cheek and….smiled! He willingly tried them on and wiggled his toes. That was the last time I saw them for over 24 hours of non-stop wearing.

Then came Miss Picky, younger sister very similar sensory issues. She had to put her hand into the sock first to feel it. Then I encouraged her to try them on. Same reaction she loved them. She said “these socks don’t bump my toes” Those socks were gone too. In fact Miss Picky liked to wear them under her footed blanket sleeper.

What exactly are these SmartKnit socks? They come in Kids (from toddler 1- girls and boys 8 ) and Big Kids sizes really adult sizes (sizes women or men from 5 – 11+) All sizes come in standard crew (lower leg) height, some are in knee-high or ankle. There are standard white socks and several colors available.

The sensory great points are the toe seam is some how just barely there. It rounds the toes without rubbing them. Also there is no heel to this sock. The size is printed on the bottom of the sock so if you have buy several sizes, like me, you won’t get frustrated about sizes.

A WOW moment for me was looking over their website and they have seamless socks for AFO’s and KAFO’s Oh where were you 5 years ago when I had 3 in AFO’s??

    two of my children and my husband would find these socks to be perfect for them. They are always complaining about the seems in socks, I’d love to have them try these out.

    I have two children that would greatly benefit from these socks. My daughter has Asperger’s, HDAD and some sensory issues. She is always giving me fits about her socks! My son has Asperger’s as well. It would be so awesome if we won these! Thank you!

    I shared the link with my facebook friends. I have a 9-year-old daughter with Prader-Willi Syndrome and she has a lot of sensory issues as do a lot of children/adults with PWS. Socks are a problem. That darn toe seam drives her crazy and “hurts” her toes. I usually turn her socks inside out and this helps some. These socks sound wonderful – no heel too. I have over 400 facebook friends who have children with PWS and I spread the word about these socks.

    My oldest son is super sensitive (as in OCD- SPD). He does not like the feel of socks and he has to wear some or his feet stink (he is 11 but the foot odor like an adult). i hope that in getting these socks they will keep him warm during the long winters here that Iowa seems to being experincing as of late. He wears a size 8 men’s shoe.

    My Son has severe autism. He hates socks and shoes.
    He takes them off constantly. He has sensory processing disorder.
    I am a fan of SmartKnits Facebook page and of special needs homeschool facebook page. I am also going to post this on my facebook page after I leave this comment. Thank you!

    shared this on facebook as well as already am a member of your facebook page and also liked the smart kids page as well
    these would be perfect for our little guy

    I am already a fan of SNH on FB. I also just liked the Smart Kids page.

    I would love to win one pair for my son and to send two pairs to a friend in England whose daughter is having a really rough time right now. I think these would help make her little life better.

    I told my FB friends about the giveaway. I will blog about it later and leave a new comment for those entries. THANK YOU!

    Oh my daughter would love these! I am at my wits end trying to get her to wear socks. It starts such a meltdown with tears yelling and throwing herself on the floor!! I feel helpless because I don’t want her feet to be cold but I don’t want her to be upset either!
    My other daughter has Type 1 Diabetes and has her own special needs which takes up a lot of my time. Anything to help my daughter with her special needs would be awesome! These socks would make her feel just as special!

    My daughter has Sensory Processing Disorder and has problems with her sockes most day. I’d love to see if seamless socks would help her keep her socks and shoes on this winter!!

    Wish me luck! My son was only officially diagnosed as having severe Autism this past Monday and had his first day of Pre-School today. I am thankful that there has finally been a name put to what we have been dealing with these past two years or so. Surprisingly, it offers a little bit of relief knowing what we need to do to help him better.

    I have two with Asperger’s and clothing sensitivities! I hope I win the socks…I bet they will be a hit with my special guys…even if I don’t win, I will share this source with a friend who has a son who refuses to wear socks because of the seams. 🙂 I will also share a link on my FB page!

  26. Linda Dickinson says

    I have a special needs child and he has sensory issues. I along with a close friend have been looking for seamless socks for some time. I hope this is our answer and I am excited to find out.
