What’s the difference between a ski sock and a snowboard sock? The different design is necessary to keep socks where they belong: on the feet and not scrunched up around the toes. With the Smartwool Kid’s Snowboard Socks, your little ones will have an optimum fitting sock for their snowboard boots. These socks offer a full cushion leg, half-cushion sole and elasticized ankle brace for highest, most comfortable performance. Can a pair of socks do all that? The Smartwool Kid’s Snowboard Socks can!
