Kids' Socks: Essential Comfort for Active Children

Quality socks are the foundation of comfort for active children. At Hibbett Kids, we offer a variety of sock styles designed to provide support, durability and protection for growing feet during play, sports and everyday activities. From preschool to grade school ages, finding the right sock style can enhance performance and comfort. Complete your child's Toe-to-Head® look with premium socks from Hibbett Kids.

Kids’ Ankle Socks

Ankle socks sit at or just below the ankle bone, providing minimal coverage with maximum freedom. These lightweight options are perfect for warmer weather and casual wear. Kids' ankle socks from brands like Nike and adidas feature cushioned soles and moisture-wicking materials that keep feet dry and comfortable.

For active children, look for ankle socks with reinforced heels and toes that stand up to playground activities. Girls' ankle socks often include stylish details, while boys' ankle socks typically focus on durability in high-impact areas. These versatile basics work well for everyday wear and most athletic activities.

Kids’ Quarter Socks

Quarter socks extend slightly higher than ankle socks, covering the ankle bone for added protection. This mid-height option strikes the perfect balance between coverage and breathability, making quarter socks ideal for a variety of activities.

Nike quarter socks and adidas quarter socks feature targeted cushioning and arch support that benefit growing feet. For sports like tennis and running, quarter socks provide just enough coverage to prevent shoe friction without excess bulk. Both New Balance and Jordan offer quarter length styles with performance features that support developing athletes.

Kids’ Crew Socks

Crew socks remain a classic choice for children, extending several inches above the ankle. These socks provide excellent coverage and support for grade school athletes participating in team sports and physical education.

Nike crew socks for kids deliver premium comfort with cushioned footbeds and stay-up cuffs. Jordan crew socks feature basketball-specific design elements, while adidas crew socks incorporate compression zones for enhanced support. For cooler weather or added protection during outdoor activities, crew socks offer ideal coverage.

Kids’ Athletic Sport Socks

Purpose-built athletic socks are engineered specifically for sports performance. These specialized socks feature strategic cushioning, moisture control, and support elements tailored to different activities.

For high-impact sports, look for athletic socks with extra padding in the heel and forefoot. Moisture-wicking materials prevent blisters during intense activity, while reinforced zones extend durability. From basketball to soccer, the right athletic socks enhance performance while protecting growing feet.
