Squeezed into a tight shoe, even a thick sock is pressed flat and loses much of that.

Thick thermal socks suit standing still or roomy boots. If your feet still stay cold during long periods outside, heated socks or insoles are the next step.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I wear two pairs of socks?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can, as long as your shoe or boot still fits comfortably. Two pairs in a tight shoe often feel colder, because the socks are pressed flat. One thicker sock in a slightly roomier boot often works better.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAre wool socks itchy?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCoarser wool can feel scratchy. Merino is a fine wool that many people find soft against the skin, and blends with synthetic fibres often feel smoother too. If wool usually bothers you, try a merino or blended sock first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow high should socks for boots be?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbove the top edge of the boot, so the boot does not rub against bare skin. For wellies, many people choose knee-high socks, which also keep their calves warm on a cold walk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWalking socks or thick thermal socks?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWalking socks have cushioning where your foot lands and a closer fit, so they suit long walks in boots. Thick thermal socks are softer and roomier, which suits standing still, the sofa or roomy winter boots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","products":[],"url":"https:\/\/ie.glode.nl\/collections\/warm-socks.oembed","provider":"Gløde ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
