My daughter (8) goes nuts when she can feel the seams in socks. I understand, because I hate it, too. She says these are very comfortable and does not complain about them. I'm ordering more and replacing all her socks. Great that these are cheaper than the Gold Toe socks I had been purchasing--those we're pretty good, but she still complained. I did want to mention that these technically do have a seam across the top, but nothing sticks out of the seam, so you don't feel them, if that makes sense.
