Pure’s Picks: The Best Ski Socks for Every Kid

A ski trip is a wonderful winter vacation for the family. When preparing for your trip, ski socks may be the last thing you’re thinking of when packing yourself (and your kids). You may be thinking, “Do I really need ski socks?” or “Should I buy ski socks for kids?” However, choosing the  best kids ski socks is an important consideration. Ensuring that your child has the best gear (including the best toddler ski socks) will ensure they have a lot more fun on the slopes.

Why Selecting the Best Ski Socks for Kids Is Important

While tackling days on the slopes, comfort is king. When kids start skiing, it’s important to have the best socks, because skiing deals a lot with how your feet are feeling and reacting to the activity of skiing throughout the day. Especially when teaching kids to ski, having socks that put comfort first is certainly a priority. Choosing the best ski socks for toddlers and youth involves considering stretch, warmth, moisture reduction, and durability. Also major considerations when it comes to selecting the best kids ski socks for your children include anti-odor properties and designs that appeal to your child’s unique and specific style. We all know that  wearing clothes that help you feel your best will assist with performance in things like career, success, and athletic performance. But this same psychology applies to boys and girls too. Children are often happier when they  have several choices of items to wear and they appreciate the pieces they are able to pick out. This can apply even to kids snow socks!

Which Socks to Choose

“What kind of socks to wear for skiing” you might ask? As discussed before, material can be one of the most crucial components of selecting ski socks. When selecting the best child ski socks, this is certainly the case as well. Different blends of materials can have different effects on how the sock performs and how the sock feels to the wearer. Pure Athlete socks are made with Merino Wool, which has many benefits including its lightweight comfort and moisture wicking nature- meaning it moves moisture to the outside surface, keeping feet dry yet cozy. Other added fibers will help with durability and stretch. Spandex and Lycra are also added to the socks to allow the socks to shape nicely to the wearer. The perfect blend of carefully selected fibers is what makes the best kids ski socks… well… the best!
