Seamless Socks

It means there's no raised seam across the top of your toes. Most socks sold as seamless, ours included, are seamless at the toe. The toe is still closed, but it lies flat and there's no ridge to feel through your shoe.

On a standard sock, the toe is closed with a line of stitching across the top of your toes. That stitching leaves a raised ridge inside the sock. On a seamless sock, the toe is often hand-linked into a flat join. A few are knitted from the toe up on a circular machine and have no join at the toe.

A toe seam sits where your shoe presses hardest on your toes. Each step drives your toes into the front of the shoe while the top of it bears down on the ridge. A snug toe box gives your toes no room to move off it.

Yes. Late in a long run or on a steep downhill, your toes slide forward into the front of your shoe. That's where a toe seam rubs most. Ours have no ridge to rub and the COOLMAX yarn keeps sweat off your toes as you go.

Yes, every sock we make has a seamless toe, in all four cuts, both sizes and every colour. Each pair in our men's socks and women's socks has one, because they're the same unisex socks. You'll find all four in our gym socks as well.
