If every cold-weather season you find yourself cursing up a storm because your feet are numb (does "my toes are f*cking frozen" sound like something you've shouted before?), put an end to that nonsense this year. You don't need to spend a fortune to keep your feet warm the next time you find yourself wading through big snowbanks. We found a tried-and-true pair of padded, itch-free, moisture-wicking socks that are good for walking, hiking, and even skiing. See how they stack up.
The Arctic Extreme Insulated Heated Boot Thermal Sock ($20 for 2 pairs) are made of thick thermal yarn and will keep your feet toasty.
"I bought these socks for my boyfriend and I because I was tired of our 'boot socks' always needing to go into the dryer after a 20-second wear through the snow (we don't have a dryer in our apartment, so literally to get to the dryer involved another walk through snow . . . catch 22 dilemma), and I never looked back. Not only are they thick and warm, but they don't completely soak through in .3 seconds like other socks." — Alessia Santoro, editor, Moms
