All parents take care of their children, try to buy the most beautiful and high-quality clothes for them, strive for the child to be comfortable in it, and, most importantly, for the new thing to bring joy. The wardrobe of the baby is often no less than that of an adult, and far from the last place is occupied by children's socks. I would like to note that socks are an important attribute of children's clothing, and their selection should be approached very carefully.
How to correctly determine the size of socks
Children are incredibly active, they can play endlessly, jump and frolic, while they must feel comfortable, and their legs must be protected. First of all, it is necessary to determine the size of children's socks, since if they turn out to be small, the heel will slide on the foot, the child will feel discomfort, and a tight elastic band not in size will lead to circulatory disorders. If the socks turn out to be large, they will gather in an “accordion”, will crawl, causing inconvenience, and it will look unaesthetic. The correct sizes of socks are quite simple to determine using a special grid or table. To do this, measure the length of the foot. Place the child on a blank sheet of paper and circle the leg with a pencil, then use a ruler to measure the distance from the most distant edge of the heel to the tip of the thumb. By the way, in exactly the same way you can determine the sizes of socks for men and women. After that, in the correspondence table you can easily find the number you need. It is worth noting that different manufacturers have different standards, so it is important to pay attention to the letter designations of countries and look for their sizes of socks in that column. In addition to Russian parameters, you can meet European (EU), English (UK) and American (US).
Appearance and composition of socks
Undergoing constant mechanical stress, socks, first of all, must have high strength. They can be made from a variety of materials: wool and cotton, nylon and acrylic, spandex and polyester. In order for the socks to be soft and pleasant for children's feet, bamboo, linen, silk, cashmere and mohair are added to their composition.
Today, manufacturers offer a huge number of models and colors of children's socks: plain and color, low and high, sports and classic, with one or five fingers, simple or with thematic decorative elements. They can be very different and intended both for everyday wear and for special occasions.
What you should pay special attention to
When buying socks, it is very important to pay attention to the number of synthetic threads in their composition. Synthetics do not absorb moisture and do not let air through, so the baby's legs will sweat in such socks in winter and summer. In addition, such things fit tightly and tightly tighten, check if the baby can remove and put on his socks on his own.
Although socks are that part of the wardrobe, which, by and large, is very rarely visible, it is still worth taking their choice seriously, since improperly selected styles, materials and sizes of socks will not only cause discomfort during the day, but will also spoil the opinions of others around you.
