Warm Socks

You'll warm more than hearts with these cozy warm socks. Give the gift that keeps on giving with the best winter socks you can find, knit from soft Merino Wool.

Winter Socks in Every Weight

Our Heavyweight socks with full cushion — like the Shorty and Mountaineer — are the warmest socks for winter. These will keep your toes toasty whether you're wearing them in muck boots or around the house as slippers. 

Our Midweight Boot socks are ideal for outdoor activities like sledding, snowshoeing, and winter hiking. They'll keep the cold out, but are breathable enough for higher levels of activity. 

And don't sleep on our Lightweight styles - because they're knit with thermoregulating Merino Wool, these still act as warm winter socks in your ski boots or running shoes.
