Keep my feet warmer

I’m sure you’ll get as many answers as replies and I believe that is is a personal thing as we are different in our wants and needs.
I personally use Darn Tough socks.
I have a couple pair of their over the calf, heavyweight hunting socks.
They are merino wool and have an unconditional lifetime guarantee.
I wore mine all last season, and they look like new.
There is my favorite

Yea, Darn tough is my go to. I have a handful of pairs of Point 6 socks that I also like.

I always had problems with cold feet. I went with quality battery powered socks and never looked back. I have a pair of Gerbing sock liners but lately I’ve been using mobile warming merino wool blend. I don’t hike long distance so can’t speak to how they work for that.
Check out the Warming Store on line for lots of choices.

Same issue here, cold feet. Watching this thread.

I've owned several brands, some very cheep in price, some expensive, both have been good and bad. The 2 biggest take aways I can say that contribute to a good sock are these things, first 70+% merino wool, and the second is the small the gaps on size for the for the better. Sock men's size 7-12 fits like garbage, sock size 8-10 will fit a lot more true.

I also vouch for darn toughs, in their tactical line they have varying thicknesses and I have some super thick ones that keep my feet warm while I'm hiking around

Darn Tough or Minus33 are both top notch socks that I use for the coldest days while hunting WV in November and December.

I haven't tried them but have heard Farm to Feet make a top notch wool sock.

I wear wool socks year round. Off season is the time to figure out what I like and try different socks in daily rotation. But I don't pull out my coldest weather hunting socks for daily wear. I bag them up and set them aside off season so I don't wear them out.

A quality liner sock in addition to wool socks will help. I use the Kenetrek Ultimate Liner sock, and the Kenetrek Alaska heavy wool sock. Part of the cause with cold feet is when they get damp from perspiration. When they get damp they get cold if you don't have the proper sock system to migrate the sweat away from your feet. Heavy wool socks will do this and the liner sock acts as a barrier to keep the sweat in the wool and away from your feet.

Darn Tough, Smartwool and Worn. I like all three brands. I buy whichever I can find on sale. They all are tough and last a long time.

Love darn tough, smart wool is good too but you get the unconditional warranty with DT and they’ll replace them no questions asked.

All I wear are Darn Tough socks. Been wearing them exclusively for 6 or 7 years now. My current set of them are three years old and going strong. I work on my feet, usually packing 80 lbs or so of material at a time, and these do better for my feet and last unbelievably well. My feet do not get hot in summer or cold in winter, no foot problems. Try some, you will love them.

Another vote for Darn Tough. I have 2 pair of lightweight and 2 pair of heavyweight and I’d be surprised if I ever have to use the warranty on them.

Costco kirkland trail socks. I get around 5 years of wear from these using them 6 or so months a year. At the price paid ( about $15 for 4 pairs) they are excellent value. Also a very good sock .I have had other socks that cost a lot more but were no better . Smartwool was one that I tried at triple the price that felt exactly the same comfort and warmth wise yet did not last any longer.

I just got some point 6 and really like them so far. Wearing on of them and a darn tough on the other foot on a trip last week I think the point 6 had the edge. Have you had them long enough to know how the durability is?

Another vote for Darn Tough. I know this post is specifically for cold feet but they are the only pair of socks I’ve found that I can wear for days on end without getting uncomfortable.

Tried a ton, always end up sticking with Darn Tough or Smartwool.

I use a mix of different kinds, bombas merino, Paka alpaca, thinking of ordering some Yak wool for just in case it gets a little bit colder than usual
Silk or poly under socks then merino or alpaca on top ( I hate blisters)
Carry a extra pair in my day pack to change if needed with my gloves
