It can be difficult raising any child, but when you have a child with Sensory Disorders, the simplest of things can be a challenge.  I searched high and low for socks for my son with Aspergers and a Sensory Processing Disorder; buying socks of every shape, design, and brand with no success.  Then luckily I found this great company called Smart Knit Kids who provide totally seamless socks, undies, and T-shirts.   These are quality products that will last and last, not to mention the great service!

It's not just me....here is what some other parents have to say about SmartKnitKids:

I have a huge drawer ful of dress socks, soccer socks, ankle, crew, low cut -- you name it.  My son gets in trouble for taking off his shoes in school.  He loves sandals in the summer.  Then I came across your site on the SPD network page.  I was able to get 3 pair for now.  My son fell in love with these socks and is all he wants to wear.  He is bummed that he can't wear them all 5 days but I told him we are working on getting more socks when we can.  We were blessed with being a winner a few months ago on someones blog about the socks so we at least have the 3 pair.  My son has major sensory issues so these are such a blessing.  We ordered the ankle size Medium but they actually fit him like a crew.  Since there is no heel I know he can wear them longer.  They wash very well and are so durable.  He usually tears through other brands.  Thank you for these.  I am telling all my friends about them.

My daughter battles me every morning when I ask her to put her socks on so we can get her on the kindergarten bus on time--she hates the sock seams and no matter how we arrange the socks/tights on her foot, we can't seem to get it so the seam isn't annoying her. I thought this was very strange until I read other people's comments on this web site. I ordered two pairs of socks and when they arrived, she examined them suspiciously--she did spot a line on the sock, but held her foot out reluctantly anyway. When the sock went on, her face lit up and she said "Hey......we can put these socks on anytime!" We've been doing wash every other day to ensure clean socks, so I am ordering more of these!

I could never get my son to wear socks before I discovered SmartKnit socks! The PE teacher demanded he wear socks and sneakers to class or he couldn't participate in any playground fun- all he would wear were sandals. Once we started using SmartKnit socks he put his socks and shoes on without complaining! I threw all the other brands out! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

We were spending over a half hour every morning just trying to get her socks and shoes on---She would scream and cry and move the socks around --take them off -- turn them inside out-- It was a battle every morning until we found these socks (they are wonderful and we only have bad mornings if all of them are dirty) this is why we are getting ready to order 9 more pair!!! It makes life easier for us!

It's been a about a year since our five-year-old daughter, who has been diagnosed with both a sensory disorder and anxiety disorder, has been able to wear socks without a full blown, tear filled meltdown. I tried other "seamless" socks, but I quickly realized that what is seamless to one child is surely NOT seamless to our little girl. When I read about SmartKnit socks, I ordered one pair to see if they would work. When they arrived and I told our daughter that her new socks without "bumps" were here, she started to cry and say that she hates socks. I showed them to her, she took them, and she hid under the table. She popped out, wearing both a big smile AND the socks! She exclaimed, "Wow! These really work! I am going to wear them everyday!!!" With tears in my eyes, I called her dad and her grandparents to tell them the news! We will DEFINITELY be ordering more! Thanks from the bottom of! our hearts!!!!
