I received the product below and/or compensation in exchange for sharing my honest opinion.
Going back to school for my kids mean new school supplies, shoes, clothes and socks. I always like to pick up new socks for the school year because I am buying them shoes usually anyways. Something about fresh, clean, new socks too just seems perfect to start off the school year.
Gold Toe is one of the leading sock brands and they have some great styles for all ages. From colorful activewear to bold, traditional collections, Gold Toe features socks that are made with quality materials as well as affordable prices. They have been a category leader and quality brand for over eight decades! Only the finest yarns are uses and are reinforced for longer, more comfortable wear. The toe seams are even flattened for a smooth fit and the heals are rounded for support and comfort.
My favorite feature of Gold Toe’s kid collection is the EZ MATCH sizing system. This is a perfect especially for households with multiple children thanks to the number of gold rings on the toe which indicate each sock size. So one ring means Small, two rings Medium and three rings Large. I actually thought the gold ring was just decoration until I noticed the different amount of gold rings on each sock. As a mom with kids who wear different sizes this has been a huge help in putting the right socks in the right dressers!
I know the ones on the left are my daughters and the right ones are my boys:
My boys love the bright neon colors of the Ultra Tec socks and how they are thicker socks. The socks don’t feel think and cheap, but rather they are made with polyester and spandex to create a breathable, cooling mesh sock. There is even arch support built-in for comfort. My boys wear these for hockey and practicing soccer as they say they are their sports socks!
My daughter loves her new Gold Toe socks because they come in fun colors and they feel like butter, well thats what she says. Basically they are super soft and comfy socks for her. Her tie-dye ones are stretchy and have reinforced toes for longer wear and durability, some of her socks have arch support and some are the Ultra Tec which means breathable, cooling socks for her.
I used to think all socks were the same and it didn’t matter, but after trying out Gold Toe socks I see there really is a difference. I’ve thrown away so many socks because they were thin, would come apart easily or my kids just said their feet hurt. I love that Gold Toe puts special touches in their socks to cushion and soothe little feet. I know for me as a mom, if my kid’s feet are happy then I am happy because I don’t have to listen to them complain or whine about their feet!
FIND IT: Gold Toe can be found at retailers nationwide such as Macy’s, Kohl’s, JCPenny and Amazon, as well as, goldtoe.com.
WIN IT: (1) US winner will receive a Gold Toe Ultimate Back-to-School Prize Pack, containing an assortment of our favorite collections to kick the school year off right.
This is an example of what winner will receive. Product selection is based on availablity.
