Anyone seen seamless ankle socks?!

My little girl is driving herself nuts (and me!!) because the seams in the toes of her socks irritate her. I've tried the socks inside out, but they are still driving her barmy. Has anyone seen any white seamless socks? I'm not even sure such a thing exists....Thanks.

    google search 'Sensitivity Socks for Children' http://www.storesonline.com/site/547049/page/118294?gclid=CPfg1ITkxY4CFQQdEgodzxvNwQ

    Or there are some at the bottom of this page: http://elitemedical.com/diabeticsocks.html

    Or here: http://www.cheekylegs.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=623

    You might wish to search for 'Childrens Crew Socks' (the 'crew' relates to what we seem to call 'ankle socks' but the Americans call them 'crew' for some reason). If all that fails, consider asking your local sock supplier (ie a local indoor market) for 'diabetic socks' as they don't have any seams in them.

    I used to have the same problem your daughter has, socks with seams used to drive me nuts when I was a child. Nobody could understand it looking back, even I couldn't, all I could understand was that they hurt. Now some years later, I'm diabetic... perhaps it was a warning :D
    It could have been worse. At least source code's not combustible, or you can bet somebody at McAfee would have lit it.
