I cannot seem to pick out socks that fit right for my son. My son wears a size 12T shoe and I either get socks too big or too small. Please help? Tired of wasting money on socks. Thanks!
I always liked the socks from The Children's Place. Have you tried them?
Big is good. They grow in to big sooner or later. My son started major growth spurts at 4 yrs old (grew 4 inches in one year, then did it again every other year for 3 repetitions) and there were times I ended up replacing his entire wardrobe 3 or 4 times in a single year. Sandals or flip flops in the summer means they can go without socks till the cooler weather comes back in the fall.
Baby socks, in my experience, are more often too big or too small. It's just because if we had to buy the perfect fitting sock for a baby foot we'd be buying them every week! Just go for bigger...that's what I've always done and then they grow into them, fit perfectly for a bit, get a bit too small eventually and on to the next size sock we go!
Read on the package what size socks fits that size shoe. If you buy them and they are too big, then go buy another package of the same kind of socks, only one size smaller.......then you can stick with a brand and know what size you need. Good luck.....and pretty soon, he will grow and be able to wear the ones that are too big anyway. Better big than small!
My son is in size 11 right now, and I know exactly what you are talking about. I just bought the Cherokee brand socks from Target, and they are perfect! I just wasted money on Walmart brand socks that were supposed to fit (too small) and Hanes (too big). Good luck!
