The mid weight is heavier. The progression is light-original-mid. I usually only wear mine while running or working out - usually with vibram 5 fingers shoes. Warmth is not the reason I wear Injinji socks, so I can't give you good feedback regarding their warmth + I live in the South, so their utility in keeping your feet warm is not something I have tested. They might be very useful as liner socks in heavier socks for warmth. As with the comparison of gloves and mittens, mittens keep your hands warmer than gloves, since they keep the digits together. This might also be true, but to a lesser degree for the Injinji socks. They do have more information on their website. http://www.injinji.com/ The mid weight is heavier.

I don't know. I do know the "trail" version is definitely thicker/heavier than the "run" version. I don't know if warmth is noticeable, since it's ankle-length, but the thickness is different

I have not noticed this being an issue with mine. Have you lost weight? Changed sock thickness?

Might want a lighter weight, this stuff is pretty warm when you are exercising.

it's not as heavy as my Norwegian military wool socks but they are not lite hikers either I wore mine deer hunting in NE pa. with high quality uninsulated Gor-Tex boots, was warm enough, they fit tight no seams and with adequate cushion. I'm happy.

Hi, sorry I dont have the sock on me right now to check the tag. You should ask the seller. I can tell you that they feel like average quality socks. Meaning they are comfortable, but not plush. I hope that helps.

I would think you would ask a doctor that question. If your foot is warm but your toes remain cold that sounds more like a circulation problem not a warmth problem. All I know is that my feet stayed toasty, and consequently I didn't get chilled when wearing the socks. Great stuff.

I also tossed the wrapping but I would say the foot part of the socks are light weight 100% cotton -the calf part is cotton/nylon and stretches without leaving "marks". There is elastic 1/2 inch at top of sock to hold them up. My husband wears these socks with work boots every day with no complaints about the lightweight cotton. I wear the ankle socks and like the light weight cotton material. My feet swell and the only mark I get is right where that elastic holds the sock up. I highly recommend both types of the socks.Hope this helps.

Actually...I don't agree. Wool has a special quality--it is breathable. If you are going to Norway in winter and your guide advised you to gear up with all wool clothing, I would take heed. I highly recommend that you do so. I have spent winters working in Antarctica and the program issues wool socks to employees because wool cannot be beat for performance in cold/wet conditions. Not only does wool breathe, if it gets wet it continues to keep you warm. So, if you sweat you won't get cold. With any other fabric that is not the case. Nothing can replace a good pair of wool socks. And Darn Tough socks are top-of-the-line wool socks. I highly recommend you get a pair (or five!) before you go to Norway for the winter. You won't regret it. (p.s. i am in no way affiliated with DT socks, i'm just a sock aficionado who knows how hard it is to find good socks).

I purchased the heaviest available. I'm still pretty new to the sport but with a few exceptions, it is my understanding that more experienced players will almost always go for the heavier ones.

I think they are. I have worn Eddie Bauer wool socks before I got these socks and I think these are much warmer. I love mine!

I'm actually planning on getting something that is slightly lighter weight for the season; both my boyfriend and I tend to get too warm under it now that temperatures are up.

I've had no problem washing these socks at the normal warm/cold washing setting. I didn't notice any unusual shrinkage putting them through the dryer either. They are still warm and comfy.

I would not go with the extra large.... I would go with medium, in the size large I got for a gift they also got the traditional socks to go with, so that took some room as well. Not an expert, just opinion... good luck! :)

Certainly thicker than normal socks. Maybe half again to twice the thickness of normal heavy cotton socks. A bit thicker than Thorlo cotton socks.

I'd go with the next size up. I wear heavy socks in winter and my size 10's just (no wiggle room) fit. If you plan on wearing heavy socks, upsizing is my choice.

Hello. I buy socks for my daughter. By its action seems you quite thin so if you want to have a good effect on the pressure, I should use size S. I think the M size would not do any effect of pressure.

I am a size 10 and wear the medium socks. They aren't tight or binding at all. The foot part of the sock does have a tendency to grow towards the end of the day. So while the Large will fit and stay up, you may have the heel sticking out of the top of your shoes by evening. With that in mind, I still love these socks. They are long wearing, stay up without digging in, and comfortable.
