The proper sock can make all the difference between cold and warm feet
I see so many people who will spend decent money on a boot to keep their feet warm only to skimp when it comes to buying their socks. For all around wear wool is hard to beat and with todays wool it doesn’t need to itch. Click below to read how to pick the right sock…
Wool is best for year round wear.
Wool is hard to beat for year round wear. It keeps feet warm in the winter and cool in the summer. In the warmer weather choose a lighter weight Merino wool sock such as the Wigwam Lakota. It will wick moisture away from your feet unlike cotton and will keep your feet dry and comfortable. Cotton tends to hold the moisture next to your foot. In colder weather a heavy sock such as the Carhartt Arctic Boot Sock 
will really keep your feet toasty warm. These insulate well, transport moisture, and provide warmth even if they happen to get wet…cotton loses all it’s insulating properties once wet. If you’re very active outdoors then adding a wicking sock will help even more in keeping your feet warm and dry.
When your active add a wicking liner to move moisture away from your foot.
If your active outdoor, like hiking or cutting wood, then adding a wicking liner sock between the wool sock and your foot will make keep your feet dry preventing that cold, clammy feeling. When you’re active outdoors your feet will sweat. This sweat will stay next to your feet making them cold and damp. A liner like the Wigwam Coolmax liner will wick the moisture away from your foot, transporting it into the outer wool sock where it will evaporate off keeping your feet dry and warm. Once you try them you’ll never be without them.
Spend more and pay less in the long run
You can expect to pay between $8.00 to $16.00 for a good quality wool outdoor sock. Add about $5.00 to $6.00 for a liner. In the long run though better socks cost less. They last longer, keep your feet warmer, and are way more comfortable. Why spend $100 to $150 on a great boot only to wear a sock that won’t do the job? When your working or playing outdoors the right equipment is essential to getting the job done or enjoying the day. Nothing ruins a day faster than cold feet.
Thanks for taking a look and we’ll talk to you next week.
