Cold toes today, time to get some decent socks to wear under the boots I've just splashed out on ones without seams around the toes would be good.

Ninja edit!

Seems = seam?

Anyway: DeFeet Woolie Boolies are a great cure for cold feet. Not cheap. But good! Merino though - in case that itches you.

Got some save our soles merino socks from On-One and they've been good over the summer. Couple of pairs of them if you need something thicker? My winter boots don't have space for thick socks but I've never had cold feet with them and a couple of pairs of thin merino socks.

I've got some Assos ones which were, surprisingly, inexpensive, and are really very good.

I use the Costco ones but they're not 100% Merino so get cold when wet. Comfy when dry though.

dhb merino wool socks are great for spring/autumn. Woolie Boolies are a bit thicker/bulkier.

Woollie Boollies for proper cold or Wooleators when it's a tad nippy.

Wow - people on ebay are actually selling on Costco socks!

A mate told me tonight he swears by Decathlon winter cycling socks - he certainly hasn't whined about his cold feet yet this year....

Very much like the SOS ones at On One and have a few pairs. Used to use Wooly Boolies but find them s little thick. Got a couple of pairs now going cheap if you want to try them and you're about a 9 or 10... 🙂

Recently got some Smartwool socks; amazingly comfy. Bloody expebnsive though. Anyone got any experience of the M+S ones though, as they're a lot cheaper:
