I just ordered these for my 10 year old daughter (size 3 in child's shoes). I ordered a medium knee high thinking that should fit, but they are WAY too small. Yes, without the heel, they stretch to fit a wide range of sizes from ankle to knee high length sock depending on the size of the foot. However,in this case, they couldn't stretch far enough (even to be an ankle sock!). There should be some shoe size equivalents in the item descriptions (they have a chart on the back of the package the socks came in however). I think the socks look like good quality, but I now have to decide whether to eat the money I spent (kind of a high price tag, since these are a specialty item), or hassle shipping them back and getting an exchange or a refund. Too bad.

For the assistance of others: the package info reads as follows:
Where A=ankle, C=crew, and K= knee high:

Small: Toddler 4-8 (A), Toddler 1-4 (C),
Medium: Toddler 8-12 (A),Toddler 4-8 (C), Toddler 1-4 (K)
Large: Toddler 12-Child 2 (A), Toddler 8-12 (C), Toddler 4-8 (K)
X-Large: Toddler 12-2 / 2-5 Child (C), Toddler 8-12 (K)
In my case, my child's size 3 shoe size feet required an X-Large sock, not the Medium I ordered. Hope this helps.

I've never considered myself much of a sock expert, but I'm in love with the seamless socks available for the entire family from SmartKnitKIDS. Boasting the slogan "No seams to bug ya" their children's socks are superb for little ones with sensitivities to seams and bunching like my oldest daughter. Any parent of a sensitive child - both those officially diagnosed with sensory integration disorder (SID), and those who are easily bothered by textiles - knows the difficulties of convincing little ones to slip their tender tootsies into `bumpy' socks. Tantrums, meltdowns. we've seen it all here at our house, but after trying on her first pair of SmartKnitKIDS socks my 6-year-old daughter told me, "Mommy, these are the best socks I've ever, ever worn in my entire life." I tend to agree with her myself. That isn't my daughter in the photo (it's from the SmartKnitKIDS website), but it may as well be. She loves her new pink socks just as much as this little girl seems to!

Not only do the children's socks live up to their claim of undetectable joinery in the toe, they also lack a heel which allows for very flexible sizing. I love it, one pair of socks can fit a wide range of children - they are so tiny when they arrive, yet are so stretchy that it's mind boggling. My 3-year-old and six-year-old are wearing the same size of socks, they just hit them differently on the leg. Another huge bonus is the ability these socks have to cling to the leg. My six-year-old has also suffered from the incessant need to hike her socks up throughout the day - SmartKnitKIDS don't let her down though - their halo technology is free from binding elastic (no pinching), but yet stays up better than any sock I've ever seen.

If that wasn't enough (which it completely is in my books), these socks are made from high-tech fibers that wick moisture away helping ensure a drier and more hygienic sock environment. They are also anti-microbial, inhibiting fungal odor-causing bacteria and come in a selection of fun colors and styles (knee, crew, ankle)! Wow.

With a wide variety of sizes available, the whole family can be outfitted in seamless socks! Our 1 year old has some adorable, tiny toddler-sized seamless socks that have cute cuffs, and I'll NEVER buy another pair of traditional baby socks again. The ones that never fit right, the ones they grow out of in two months. With no heel, these little cuties will fit newborns up to 18 months easily!

I'm not sure if my daughter will like these or not, I'll update my review when she tries them on, but just in general for the company, why does it cost $8.95 to ship one pair of socks? I guess I should have found out before I ordered them, but I thought this was a pack of socks, like 2-4 pair, not just one pair, for a total of $17! I think it might be worth the fight over seams for that price!
