Keep Your Feet Warm, Comfortable and Healthy This Winter

When the temperature drops, your feet feel it first. Cold toes aren’t just uncomfortable

they can trigger chilblains, worsen circulation issues, and make winter walks far less enjoyable. The right socks can make a huge difference.

At Foot Corner Ashford, we help patients every winter who are struggling with cold feet, so here’s our guide to choosing the best winter socks:

1. Merino Wool – the winter winner

Merino wool is soft, breathable and incredibly warm without being bulky. It regulates temperature, meaning your feet stay warm without sweating. Perfect for daily wear, walking or commuting.

2. Thermal Socks (TOG-rated)

Brands like Heat Holders offer TOG-rated socks that trap warm air close to the skin. Great for very cold days or people with circulation issues. They’re thicker, so pair with roomy footwear.

3. Bamboo Socks – soft & gentle

Bamboo fibres are warm, moisture-wicking and naturally antibacterial. Ideal if you have sensitive skin, eczema or fungal-prone feet. They’re not as warm as wool, but perfect for layering.

4. Double-Layer Walking Socks

These are designed to prevent blisters and keep feet insulated during outdoor activity. Ideal for winter dog walks, hikes and long days on your feet.

5. Avoid Cotton

Cotton holds moisture, leaving feet cold, damp and prone to chilblains. In winter, it’s one of the worst choices for warmth.
