Nothing can keep your feet as warm as wool socks. Honestly. I know because I'm one of those women who is "always" cold. I have learned to wear only wool socks in the winter because they are the only type of sock that can beat the chill in my toes.
The Best Wool Socks
by Jimmie
If "cold feet" is more than just an expression, you need the best wool socks. They truly keep your feet warm during the cold winter.
Durable, Warm, and Healthy
The Best Wool Socks
But amazingly, wool is also a great fabric for wicking away moisture. So if your feet happen to get overheated, wool will wick away sweat far better than man-made fabrics will. We all know that dry, warm feet are healthy feet. This is why most hiking and outdoor sport socks are made of smart wool -- they are made especially for coping with all types of weather conditions both cold and hot.
With the new smart wools on the market, there is no need to fear itchy feet. Smart wool socks have all the warmth of wool but with none of the itch. Honest. I am a very itchy person by nature. I cannot wear normal wool, even as a top layer. But smart wool, or merino wool is not at all itchy.

I know that winter is a dreary time for me, so I crave bright colors in my clothing to lift my spirits. It may seem silly, but bright socks really make me happy. Of course, because they are wool, my feet are warm as well. A perfect combination!
Plain Wool Socks
HIker Crew in Smart Wool
If you want a plain wool sock or a slightly cheaper alternative to the more feminine styles above, try this unisex, calf high hiking crew. It is very soft and cushiony without adding a lot of extra bulk in your shoes.These socks come in ten different colors.
I have socks like this and I love the band of support around the instep. It grips your foot with a nice "hug" that keeps your socks from flopping around on your feet. That snug feel seems to lock in warmth too.

I need a pair of these! My feet stay cold in the winter. I am always looking for warm socks.
I have wool socks, and it's almost the only ones I wear. My mom loves to knit them, she can knit while watching TV "so she don't feel like wasting her time".
