What the AI looks for in Girls' Athletic Socks
- Sizing by shoe size
- Buy by the shoe-size range printed on the pack, not by age or clothing size. Socks that are too big bunch and cause blisters.
- Fiber blend
- For sport, choose a synthetic or merino blend over 100% cotton. Cotton holds sweat, which leads to blisters and odor.
- Height for sport
- Match the height to the use: no-show or quarter for running, crew for basketball and hiking, over-the-calf for soccer shin guards. The wrong height leaves skin to rub against the shoe or the shin guard.
- Toe seam
- Prefer seamless or flat-knit toes. Bulky toe seams are the top complaint from sensory-sensitive kids.
Brands that matter
- Bombas: Comfortable youth socks that last.
- Nike: Everyday multi-packs for practice.
- Under Armour: Cushioned athletic multi-packs.
- Smartwool: Merino socks for hiking and winter sports.
What to avoid
- 100% cotton socks for running or team sport
- No-show socks without a heel grip
