<p>My 5th grader no longer fits in kids stuff. Huge growth spurt. We can’t find COTTON school socks & tights that don’t cost a fortune.</p>

<p>We’re looking for navy cable cotton knee highs for shoe size 8.5 womens and navy cotton (the thick kind) tights.</p>

<p>Can anyone point me to some places that have them for <$20?</p>

<p>We used to always get them at Target, but they don’t have in her new size.<br>
TIA</p>

<p>Good luck finding Navy in stores. Used to have the same problem (thankfully no longer!) and ultimately ended having to buy at the school uniform company Flynn & O’Hara. They are costly but I had no luck finding them elsewhere.</p>

<p>Flynn doesn’t carry her size :(</p>

<p>Did you check the Wal Mart website?</p>

<p>Lands End has tights, but they are microfiber, not a sweater knit type</p>

<p>We bought from Donald’s Uniforms for years - (I only had boys so no experience with knee highs and tights) They are Minnesota based, but here is their website so I assume they will ship anywhere. Looks like they are $11 for 3 pair.</p>

<p>I always wore Danskin tights in high school (private girls school). I liked footless so I could wear socks over them (and they didn’t wear out so fast). I notice they still cost very little.</p>

<p>Tights are easy to find, but cable knee socks in women’s sizes are IMPOSSIBLE to find. My daughter went to Catholic school, and I struggled to find navy or white socks when she grew into women’s sizes in middle school. Anyway, Hue makes them and you can purchase online:</p>

<p>We buy from JB Edwards. They have socks in the 10-13 size, which fit my size 9.5 7th grader.</p>

<p>Hue.com has cable knit knee socks in navy.</p>

<p>The Vermont Country Store always has practical items. Not sure if they have 100% cotton, but they do have some wool blends.</p>
