These socks are very soft! My daughter specifically asks for a pair of them most mornings when dressing for school, actually. We purchased these because most of her socks were either getting too small or were getting kind of worn out. These are holding up really well so far (worn every day pretty much, they’ve all been washed several times). They also have a good amount of stretch to them; my daughter will be able to wear these for a while before sizing up. 10/10 will probably purchase again.
