Getting a chill can bring on a cold. So bundle up and keep your feet warm and dry.
Recent research has shown that cold feet can trigger a common cold, not just viruses.
Catching A Cold
Infectious disease specialists may ridicule the hoary concept that cold wet feet can trigger the symptoms of a common cold. Viruses cause these infections, not wet feet, they argue. But a team headed by Ronald Eccles, Ph.D., D.Sc., of Cardiff University is recommending a new look.
Dr. Eccles said the results of a randomised study bear out a two-pronged hypothesis: that many of us carry around a subclinical cold infection and that chilling the feet opens the door for it to become a full-blown cold.
Friction Blisters
Blisters can be painful and for kids especially, you need a sock that can keep them going all day without complaints.
You need your socks to move sweat and moisture away from the foot while also allowing it to breathe.
All of this will reduce the risk of blisters.
There's a reason runners swear to wool-blend socks!
Merino will move the moisture away and allows for full breathability, while also being less coarse than regular wool, so without any of the itch.
Itchy Feet
If you buy low-grade non-merino wool socks, be prepared for some itchiness. Merino wool doesn’t itch at all, but lower grade quality wool definitely does. No one likes itchy feet.
The socks are made with a special Stay Up Technology. This means the socks will stay on and not fall off in the pram, when playing or at home. The Stay Up Technology is a special knitting technique that wraps gently around the leg.
Using Seamless Technology, the socks are smooth to wear without stitching that's uncomfortable for children.
Each pair of socks comes in a gift-friendly packaging box. The box is made from recycled paper and can be reused for anything from crayons to those special little treasures kids like to save.

Doctors Recommend Warm Socks
Some researchers believe that having cold feet is an inherited trait. Since there's no medical cause, warm socks are the solution!

In cold, wet weather, cotton socks just won’t cut it.
When it gets wet, cotton loses all insulating properties, so you may as well not be wearing anything on your feet at all. Not a happy situation.
And it doesn’t matter how warm your winter boots are. If you’re wearing cotton socks, your feet will perspire, and you will end up with cold, damp feet.

Merino absorbs 35% of its own weight in moisture, which is key to keeping feet dry. The merino also creates a micro-climate around your child's feet, so even if soaked after puddles or stepping into water, the merino socks work to keep the feet warm. Leaving your child warmer and dryer for longer.
Merino fibre actively regulates temperature, forming a micro-climate around your child’s feet, always retaining the ideal, safe temperature.
Merino fibres, much finer than other types of wool, measure below the threshold when prickle or itch occurs, making our merino luxuriously soft against the skin. No itchy feet guaranteed!
Merino is naturally resistant to shrinkage and wrinkles. Its waxy coating prevents deep staining, so merino will look good even after rough wear. It’s also easy to wash in the machine. Even better, you don't have to wash it that often.
These are actually my younger sister's, but I can fit them. I like to wear them when we're doing sports outside in autumn and winter, they're pretty comfortable, and warm....and they fit me, so that's good.

My mum bought more pairs for me because I love them. I wear them on the farm and when I work outside with my Dad, and when I hang out by the fire in my PJs. They're still awesome!
George, 8 years old (wearing green and yellow stripes)
I just think they're really pretty. Mum says they're good for my feet too and I can get to wear my dress when it's not so warm anymore.
