My feet get really cold. Do these socks keep your feet nice and warm?

Yes. I get cold feet, too. These socks keep my feet toasty- and without making them sweaty!

They are cushioned, so they do provide a bit of insulation. I'm in AZ, and it's just now starting to dip into the 30's in the evening they do keep my feet pretty warm, but not as well as the full cushioned hiking socks Darn Tough also sells, if you're in an area with snow, you'll probably want the full cushion.

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).

Sorry, I bought them according to women sizes. But they are by far the best winter running socks I have ever bought!

I also have Raynauds - I have worn them snow shoeing and was very happy with them - I used an inner "liner" and was very toasty. No cold feet. Good luck

I'm not sure, but my husband and I both swear by these socks. They are thick and soft, not scratchy, and incredibly warm. Also, they don't shrink or get little wool fuzzy balls on them when they're washed.

I didn't buy them for wearing anywhere except to bed in the winter. For that they work GREAT! How they would hold up in boots is iffy. They seem a bit to 'fluffy' for much hard wearing. I would try it but would wear thin 'wicking' socks under them.

They add very little bulk, so they should fit well under tighter shoes. But, as a word of caution and in response to the reviewers who said the socks did not help keep their feet warm, you need to be aware of one of the principals in effect for warmth; you need to isolate a layer of warm air next to your skin. So, if you do not allow enough room around the socks, the warming effect will be greatly minimized.

They did not keep my feet warm in 45 degree water. I bought a pair for surfing and my feet were freezing. The seams are not glued so water moves through them freely. In my opinion, they must be for protective wear such as for diving in warm water.

The material has been brushed which makes the interior of the sock feel plush, rather than wool. I didn't have the same experience as others did. I drank the koolaid but My feet never got hot, Or warm from wearing these socks. I'm a professional hunting guide. Invest in some 800-1200 gram thinsulate boots. Good luck

Well, I have big feet! Size 9.5 - 10 & these socks are snug but they fit fine. They are a bit stretchy too. Hope this 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 have been down to 10 degrees F, wind chills below zero. For 6 and 8 miles. No issues wearing a normal pair of running shoes with this socks.

I wish I could tell you. Mine are not super tight & it's been super cold where I am & I have found them to be good. Granted--on one case I did add hand warmers but it was 4-degrees & windy.

i would have to say yes, they might be as much as 1/8" thick. i have the same issue with my riding boots - they are already kind of snug and the socks make them hard to zip up but they are warm!

They were a gift for my son who lives where it doesn't get terribly cold. I wear Smartwool socks when hiking, and in cold weather (colder than 30 degrees) I wear them with thinsulate lined boots.

These socks are mainly to be worn like slippers. They would be very tight inside a boot, unless the boot is a larger, looser fit. But these socks are THE BEST!!! My feet are always cold and these socks are the warmest "slipper" I have ever owned!!

Yep. I got these for running, so the interior socks were soaked in sweat. So even though my feet did not get wet from the snow, they were wet from sweat and just as cold because the air and ground was cold. If you are not working out too hard, interior socks might add warmth. These socks are not warm like wool, just water proof. :)
