Smartwool  Hike Full Cushion Margarita Crew Socks - Kids'

Great socks. My kids say they are their favorites, but they cannot figure out sizing. The 1yearold socks I bought from them last year were so tiny and these socks are also too small. I followed the size chart for t9-11 and got size small. My kid is size t9 so I was feeling confident. Way too small. I should have bought size medium. This brand makes great stuff but the size charts are always off for kids. Buy one size bigger or go look at them in store, you’ll see what I mean.

These are excellent quality, soft, semi stretchy, nice cushion. I’ve been a smartwool fan for many years. The sizing on these kids socks however is way off. My youngest wears a little kids size 8 shoe so I got the small (9-11.5 on the size chart) and the heel doesn’t stay over his heel, it slides down to his arch the sock is so small (this is fresh out of the packaging, un washed). There is absolutely no way they would fit a little kids size 11.5 foot as the size chart states. My daughter wears a size 13 little kids shoe so I got her the medium (12-2.5 on the size chart) and same thing, the heel will hardly stretch over her heel and stay put. I was trying to avoid a too-big sock situation where the heel goes up their ankle because they are too big, which is why I followed the size chart. I wish I would have sized up.

Size L does *not* fit a youth size 2 foot. Size chart says L should fit 3-6 but it is nearly an inch too small on the heel. Toe seam separated after four wears, but that was partially because the sock was too small. Nice color pattern.

Great for all day adventures. My granddaughter loves them. It is amazing how poorly made most children's socks are any more but these are fantastic.
