This sock is made with fine merino wool that will not prickle or itch and has the Health Sock® ‘no tight elastic’ top, meaning that the sock stays up without restricting the wearer’s blood circulation, and does not leave the deep indentation on the child’s leg typical of cheap cotton children’s socks. The sock also has CoolMax® padded soles and heels for comfort and durability, and nylon reinforced heel and toe.
