Cons:

• "Love the socks and especially the reinforced heel and toe."
• "These are the perfect length, they're thick but still breathable, and they are a great softness."

Cons:

• "These socks have a very intense smell... that is hard to describe other than ‘chemical’."
• "The black sheds a lot of black little fluff balls at the beginning."
• "They are constantly shedding black fluff!"
• "The socks shrink after washing and drying them."

• "Inside, threads and lint fall off during wearing, all the legs of the child are black and in pellets."
• "Socks get dirty, especially with toddlers. But these don’t clean easy and they don’t seem to wick any moisture."

Sizing and Convenience

Pros:

• "The sizing is just right for my three-year-old daughter."
• "I prefer to have all socks of one size for one child in their specific color, making socks management so much easier."
• "Likes: The same color means a single sock will still have a match."
• "Now they can always find a match. Great value."
• "No digging through to match Mickey to Mickey and Donald to Donald, you just grab two and go."
• "These are perfect for my 3 and 5 year old boys! I love the leg height and they are so soft."
• "With 20 identical socks, every time there are two that are clean, presto, pair of socks going into the sock drawer."

Cons:

• "Your size charts are for tops with chest measures."
• "Nice socks, but the size S is too small for my almost 4 year old."
• "Inaccurate sizing chart. Amazon-you really need to correct your sizing chart."
• "If your kid has grown out of 3T socks, skip this size and go up one. These are the same size as 3Ts from other brands."
• "I followed the size chart that said 4T-5T fit toddler shoe sizes 8-11... I might as well have bought infant socks."
• "I followed the chart and ordered the small based on what the chart said, not accurate at all."
