What reviewers say
Adidas Crew Socks
Owners of Adidas Trefoil crew socks generally report they hold up through repeated washing and keep their stretch. The main complaint is that the synthetic blend runs warmer and less breathable than cotton.
Pros
- Durable through many wash and dry cycles
- Stays stretchy and doesn't sag at the cuff
- Good value for a multi-pair pack
Cons
- Warmer and less breathable than cotton socks
- Can develop odor faster in sweaty use
Questions and answers
- Which is better for kids with sensitive skin?
- The Hanna Andersson pair. It is 87% cotton with OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 certification, so it is tested for harmful substances and feels softer against skin than polyester.
- Which pack is the better value?
- The Adidas pack. Six pairs for $12.00 at PYS.com works out to about $2 per pair, and no price was given for the 3-pair Hanna Andersson pack.
- Which lasts longer?
- Both hold up with machine washing. The Adidas polyester-spandex blend resists wear and shrinking, while the Hanna Andersson cotton knit is softer but can pill over time.
- Do the Adidas socks fit a 4-year-old?
- Yes. The 13C–9Y range covers preschool sizing, so a 4-year-old falls inside it. The Hanna Andersson listing does not state a size range.
- Are the Hanna Andersson socks worth the extra cost?
- If comfort and breathability matter more than price per pair, yes. For everyday rotation across two kids, the Adidas 6-pack costs less per pair.
