Socks

You can never have too many socks. Before you buy them, make sure you know the sneaker style your kids prefer. For higher-cut shoes, they might want ankle-height socks. Low top kicks? Try crew or athletic socks made with moisture-wicking materials and anti-odor technology. We love:

 

Sneakers
