Yes.. they are something like "Gold Toe". I know they are in the kids section & adult section. Although looking at them they aren't seamless, but the seam just isn't on the toe. My son is very particular about his socks, rejecting them when I try other brands.

I've always hated when the seam starts sliding down under the foot -- I've bemoaned for years the lack of tube socks in Walmart. And I absolutely cannot stand socks that slouch.

For the last couple of years, though, I've had this odd sensitivity to some socks, where I am walking along and all of a sudden I can feel the terrycloth on the bottoms of my feet, like walking in sand. I think it's a nerve thing, maybe a new twist on my old sciatica. Anyone recognize that?

Gold Toe is the brand name - there are stores other than Target that carry them too

Yes. I avoid socks when possible, and I'm quite particular otherwise. Sometimes if they get scritchy like that after washing, re-washing will help. {shudders} I also cannot stand most hosiery, which feels very much like caterpillars crawling all over my skin when I move. ICK.

We switched to merino and problem solved. We did try sensory socks but they were so thick the fold may as well have been a seam. I was getting desperate as dd was refusing socks and it was snowing

Personally, I abominate socks, and have owned exactly one pair (at a time) for the past 20 years, which is worn only when I have to (such as inside certain boots or running shoes). (And even then, I don't always wear them.)
