Ds has SPD and hates socks. The length of his feet is a 4.5 but he wears shoes a size bigger from Start-rite.

He/I struggle to get his size 4.5-7 socks on and wondered if anyone can recommend socks for wide feet?

My children all have wide feet and a high instep, socks being too tight is a pita. I have found gap socks to be quite good :)

Sorry i dont know what spd is well i know it as symphisis pubis dysfunction...which women get in preg and i am going to assume your son doesnt have that?!! So it must be short for something else as well? does the condition he have make him more sensitive ie with socks?

I know you cam get seam free socks for eczema sufferers etc msybe something like that will help?

SPD = Sensory Processing Disorder

Thanks for all the excellent suggestions. Yup, high instep here too, will definitely try Gap and Sensory Smart.

GAP is good. Next socks are rubbish but funnily Tesco are pretty good. My dd2 hates socks, but she'll wear the Tesco ones!!

I also hate socks. My dh thinks I'm weird, but I wear my boots barefoot! Is that an option? Or is it school regs?

Ah I thought it must have another meaning!

Ds loves the socks - he says they don't make his feet itch, and they're really easy to get on
