These Warm Winter Socks Will Save You From Freezing
We stock up on the warmed gloves, coziest scarves, and warmest winter coats when the weather gets icy. While those are all certainly necessities for surviving any legitimately harsh winter, why not give your feet as much attention as your other extremities when bundling up to face the cold? Save your toes from freezing the rest of the season and stock up on these warm winter socks that shoppers absolutely swear by.
Finding the warmest winter socks on the market right now has never been an easier task, which you'll soon understand after reading what these online shoppers have to say. Whether teaching us practical laundering tips on maintaining their pre-wash softness or advising on the best socks to wear for winter sports like skiing, don't just take it from us that these knits will keep your feet über-cozy, let the following glowing reviews speak for themselves.
The Warmest Socks on Amazon
This pair is all about the pretty lace trim that actually washes well on the gentle cycle. And if you want to cuff them, take this customer's advice and "either wear inside out so the pretty part of the lace shows or take a few extra stitches on the ragged lace seam. These are great go-to socks."
One customer admitted that this pair isn't super fuzzy, but that the socks are still soft, warm and perfect to wear with ankle boots.
Anyone with larger calves, this pair was made for you. Described as "extremely warm, soft and cute," these socks also "fit well and do not cause marks on my legs from being too tight. They have "enough stretch in them to fit larger calves," writes one reviewer.
From everyday wear to winter outdoor activities, reviewers love how versatile these warm winter socks really are. But don't take it from us, let this one review speak for itself: "Not itchy. Really soft. Perfect thickness for shoes or cowboy boots. I wore these in 24-degree weather and stayed warm, except for skiing when I put another pair under these."
Not only did one customer love the multitude of colors this five-pack of socks came in, but they "wore them outside with thin sneakers and my toes were happy and warm," which pretty much sums up how we always want our toes to feel.
The Warmest Socks at Nordstrom
This practical laundry advice might just save you from sacrificing your socks' softness after the first wash: "I machine wash on delicate cycle on the cold setting, with other dark and wool laundry. Using a popular dark laundry detergent for wool and hang dry, they have kept their shape and color."
FYI, not all socks are made to be worn out of the house. In fact, reviewers of this pair jumped at the chance to gush about how they wear this pair as slippers around the house. One review writes, "on colder nights I wear them over my normal socks. I also wouldn't wear these with boots because they are too thick."
Any time a pair of socks is described as "like wearing a cloud in your feet, they are that comfortable," we actively take note. What's more, the same shopper noted that "they haven’t stretched out even after multiple wears and washes." Sounds pretty good to us.
Of the 87 glowing reviews for this pair on Nordstrom's website, many recommended them as an ideal pair of socks to wear with boots.
The Warmest Socks at Target
Nothing but five stars for these cozy winter-themed Fair Isle socks.
If you're looking for a sock that's thick enough to wear with a more substantial shoe, take this one shopper's advice who "bought them to wear with my Dansko clogs, as the socks I had were not thick enough to wear with the clogs. These are the softest socks, and so warm."
Target shoppers can't get over how amazingly soft and warm this pair is.
This pair seems to live up to its reputation, with one customer saying that they've "heard really great things about these socks and couldn’t wait to try them. Definitely a good purchase."
