no show socks - Stuff Parents Need

Isn’t it interesting how your own personal style can change over time? My taste in socks is a great example. When I was a teenager, one of my favorite accessories was my striped pair of socks that had individual slots for my toes. Crazy, I know. But I loved those things! And I loved any sort of zany print on my socks. I seem to recall a pair with monkeys dressed in tutus. I wore those things out!!!

If these shark socks had been around when I was 15, I would have put them on in a hot second. It is fun to see that novelty socks haven’t gone anywhere, even though I don’t personally wear them, anymore (but more power to you if you do!).

Let me tell you what socks I hated when I was a teenager: the really short “no show” socks. As someone who thought “more is more” when it comes to socks, I thought they were absolutely pointless! And now…they are the sock I love the very most! They are so soft and comfortable!

But my past and my present are melding together right now. The more practical socks that I choose now don’t have to be boring! K. Bell has some great selections, from the super practical black or white short socks, to bold, bright colors and patterns. What a fun way to bring together an understated style and a funky design to make super cute socks! That’s pretty much perfect for me! 🙂

6 PACK OF SOCKS FOR KIDS

But what I especially excited about is that K. Bell has just launched special 6 packs of socks for kids. These are a MUST for the new school season. They are also a great way to bring a pop of color and style to an outfit. Darah is LOVING her socks from K. Bell. She especially loves when we can match our socks and wear the same color on the same day. Even little Layah asks to put these socks on all the time. They are obviously miles too big for her, but she just wants to be involved in the sock wearing fun!

K. Bell 6 packs of socks are available for kids in sizes 7.5 – 13. And the price is definitely right, at just $8.99 per pack! K. Bell sent us two 6 packs for Darah to enjoy, and I think that is perfect amount to get you all set for the school year. I was also sent two packs…one with fun bright colors, and the other with blacks and whites. I’m reaching for both sets constantly! I’m impressed with the quality of K. Bell socks and the price point. I highly recommend them!

What kind of socks do you like to wear? Are you a novelty sock person? Very practical? Somewhere in between?

We are getting really close to the point where we are putting away all of Darah’s winter tights (she wears dresses constantly, so tights were a big piece of her winter wardrobe). But now it’s time to switch them all out for some really cute socks, and New Balance has some really brights and cheery options! Check out all the beautiful colors that come in the 6 pack…PERFECT for spring and summer!

But these are more than just cute socks. They are called New Balance Kids No Show socks, and they have a few special features I’d like to point out.

First, they have a comfort toe seam, which means that if your kid is really picky about how the seam of her socks feel (Darah throws a fit if she can feel them), then these are the perfect solution.

Second, these have what is called Stability Fit Arch Support & Hold technology, which provides a gentle compression to support the arch of the foot. This is great for growing feet!

Third, these socks have moisture management in them to help keep feet dry, even after hours of play!

Basically, these are all-around terrific socks for kids this summer, and the price is right, too, at just $9.99 for a package of 6. You can purchase them on the New Balance website here! You can also find the nearest New Balance store.

Win it!: One lucky Stuff Parents Need reader will win a 6 pack of New Balance Kids No Show socks!
