Brand of Children's Socks for blister prevention??

[danacath]

I've been trying to find good running socks for my 2 DD's (age 6 and 9) to use at WDW. I wear Wright double-layer running socks and love, love, love them, but they don't seem to come in children's sizes. Does anyone have any good suggestions for children's running socks and where to get them? TIA

Leaving in 5 days!!!

Coolmax makes socks for kids. I can't remember specifically where they're avialable, but probably camping or sporting goods stores.

I've gotten children's specialty socks at Dick's before. I saw some for running just this weekend. They were in the shoe area instead of the rack of socks just outside the shoe area.

I got our kids "underarmour" (sp?) socks from Dicks for when we went to Disney and noone got blisters. DH and I had some too. They're expensive, around $15 for 4 pair but I had coupons and a gift cards so I went ahead and got them.

Thanks for the helpful replies. We don't have Dick's here in Lincoln, but I'm going to head to Scheel's Sporting Goods tomorrow (a lot like Dick's), and I'll look for those specific brands there. Hopefully my DD's will just dance their way through the parks in their new comfy socks!

4 more days!!

Also pack some moleskin(also sold at camping/sporting goods stores) It is like a giant fuzzy bandaid that you cut to fit wherever you need it. It acts as a cushion. So it should go before you get a blister in the area you think you would get one. This saved my son last trip(and me as well) DH was too cool to wear it and ended up with painful blisters. This year he wants the moleskin too!
