Kid's Sport Snow Outdoor Socks

Tough on Their Feet

Active kids are notoriously tough on their shoes and socks—and that means they are also tough on their feet, especially during vigorous activities such as basketball and hiking, and winter sports such as skiing, snowboarding and, well,  just about any other sport you can name. Ordinary kids’ sports or athletic socks aren’t up to the challenge. Your kids need clinically-tested  padded socks that can help protect their feet from impact and blister-causing shear and pressure forces—and from the excessive moisture that is a catalyst for blisters, athlete’s foot and other foot conditions. And they need their padded socks to last, game after game, day after day, month after month—even year after year. Thorlos clinically-tested padded socks (CTPS) do just that!

“I have worn Thorlos for years and love them, but for some reason I was buying ‘regular’ socks for my 8 year old son. He didn't like the socks I was buying and they were falling apart after a few weeks, so I ordered him some Thorlos. HE LOVES THEM. He will not wear any other socks now and they are still in great shape after several weeks of wear (even after wearing outside without shoes...).  I'll be buying him Thorlos from now on...” – Melissa S.

Thorlos Clinically-Tested Padded Kids' Socks

Thorlos clinically-tested padding provides your children’s feet with maximum foot protection. We recommended them for kids who already experience foot pain or to help prevent any foot conditions that might occur during or after participating in their favorite activities. The padding is placed precisely where their feet need protection, and has been clinically shown to reduce blisters, pain, pressures and moisture:

• Ball and heel padding: Protects the ball of the foot from the shearing and impact forces that promote blister formation. 
• Toe padding: Protects against banging of the toes in the front of your kids’ shoes, especially in high-impact activities, and sports such as hiking and skiing that may require them to go down hills.

"I used to wear my mom’s, but then she got me my own. They’re great. I got more for Christmas and I even got the snow ones. They are my favorite and most comfortable socks I ever had!!”—Jo Ann C.

For younger kids, Thorlos have three activity-specific designs for kids’ shoe sizes 10 thru 13 and youth sizes up to size 4. After size 4, they move to adult styles. The three activities are:

Kids’ Sport (KAX/KAMX): This is the kids version of our original XJ Running sock. It comes in two lengths (crew and mini-crew) with the classic navy blue pads.

Kids’ Outdoor (KOX): This padded sock is based on our most popular hiking sock, the LTH Light Hiking sock.  Three colors (navy, walnut heather and bubblegum) in crew length.

Kids’ Snow (KS):  This padded sock is based on our original and most protective SKX ski sock. It’s available in four colors (royal, black, blue, and pink) in an over-calf length.

They are specially designed for kids who need a padded sock as tough as they are, and offer unprecedented foot protection and resilience compared with ordinary children’s socks.

“Over 10 years ago, I was at a laundromat doing laundry with my son-in-law when he made an observation: your whole family wears the same kind of socks. Once you feel the warmth and comfort of Thorlos socks, it's hard to wear anything else. And certainly you'd want the best for every member of your family.” – Judith O.

Employee Favorite

“It is great not to have to worry about my child’s feet hurting from uncomfortable socks that rub or cause blisters, or the socks getting holes. While wearing Thorlos KAMX/KAX and KOX, my son does not experience any blisters, and he enjoys the comfort of Thorlos padded socks. Before Thorlos I was constantly having to buy new socks every month or so because the cheaper brands were not durable enough for a young boy’s rigorous activities.” —Tammy Pope, Inventory Planning Coordinator
