SmartKnitKIDS Review and Giveaway

My son Tommy was diagnosed with Sensory Processing Disorder when he was younger. I would notice that certain things would bother him. When the fire alarm went off at his preschool, he’d meltdown because the noise was too much for him. Certain clothes were uncomfortable on his skin so he’d whine about it.

This is why I was impressed with the company SmartKnitKIDS. They have a variety of socks that help children with Sensory Processing Disorder or even kids who don’t like the annoying seams that socks have. They even have socks for adults! There are different colors to choose from, too. (I was drawn to the pink ones.)

Here is more in depth information from their website:


“Tired of hearing her son scream “these sock seams keep bugging me,” a mom decided something needed to be done. Every “seamless” sock her son tried had seams in it; there was not a truly seamless sock available. After explaining the frustrating morning routine to countless friends of her son’s struggles with socks, she was finally given the name of Knit-Rite, a textile manufacturer, and contacted them with her request for a seamless kids sock.

After several requests for seamless socks from "desperate" parents, SmartKnitKIDS socks were created. Knit the same way a caterpillar spins its cocoon, SmartKnitKIDS socks are started at the toe and worked up toward the ankle. This process insures a 100% seamless sock, so there are no seams to bug ya! A form-fitting design also keeps those annoying lumps and bumps out of the socks.”




SmartKnitKIDS was kind enough to send me a pair of socks to review. Upon seeing the socks my son said, “They look comfortable!” He does wear regular socks but sometimes he’ll itch at his ankles and say that the seams feel like they are digging into his skin.



Tommy put the socks on and dubbed them, “cool,” which is a very big deal for a third grader with a bit of an attitude.





Bottom line? Tommy was impressed with the socks.

And guess what? SmartKnitKIDS was nice enough to send me an extra pair to give away! I have a pair of white XL socks (this is the size my son tried on too) for one lucky reader. Just go to the SmartKnitKIDS website and tell me what you would buy. (Like maybe what color sock you like.) Also leave your e-mail address so I can contact you if you win if it's not connected to your blog account.

I’m not going to make you follow me for extra entries. I’d prefer you follow my blog if you like reading what I write, not because you want to win something.

I will draw a name tomorrow and get the socks in the mail this week.

Thank you again, SmartKnitKIDS!
