Best socks for winter

Smartwool.

Also check out Wigwam socks. I've been wearing their Rebel Fusion socks in my duty boots for a couple weeks now and they're great-- I'm gradually replacing all my Smartwool with them. They make a 24 hour shift go by pretty comfortably.

I do love J Crew camp socks, but they aren't all that warm IMO. They are really tough and hard wearing though. Wigwam are really nice too.

Fox River and Wigwam

Barbour makes some great thick winter socks.
I am planning on picking up a few pairs from ASOS.

jcrew camp socks look nice but they suck compared to smartwool mountaineering socks, very thick and soft with a lot of cushioning.

i bought a few pairs of northface hiking? socks, the thickest pair they offer. just as good as smartwool and cheaper. i found them at tjmaxx or marshalls for like 9 bux a pair.

I'm partial to merino wool camp/hiking socks. You can get them for about 1/5 the price of retail on ebay.

I like defeet socks. Their wool socks are very nice. I use them for skiing, but they could also be worn in the city.

Problem with thick warm socks is you need to keep a pair of shoes/boots around that are sized +1. So annoying.

Filson, Smartwool and Woolrich. All are made in the USA. I get Woolrich at Marshalls, Filson and Smartwool from Sierra Trading Post.

I just got a pair of Uniqlo Heattech socks that are super warm and comfy.

Definitely check them out (the sale ends today).

Keep it simple: buy Craftsman wool/thermal socks at Sears.

love these camp socks from j crew.
These socks look good but they're not warm at all, they're mostly cotton.

I have a few pairs of smartwool socks which are great but in my opinion the best wool socks I've encountered are the Kirkland wool socks they sell at Costco. At Costco a pack of 3 or 4 is around $15 which is a steal. They're identical to the smartwool socks and I've had about 12 pairs last me regular wear over 4 or 5 years. They're machine washable and awesome.

They're 4 for $25 here, Costco will be cheaper but still worth it...
