World's Softest Socks

Well, in true lemming fashion, I ordered these up (crew height, only, per
a.f. recommendation). Got them yesterday and have them on now. They are
fabulous! I am ordering up a bunch more from hanes.com for everyone on my
Christmas list.
Thanks, a.f., again!

for the holidays, too.

I have Reynard's Syndrome, fingers and toes feel it more every year.
Am currently wearing thin cotton socks, microfibre tights, and my ancient
Bass sheepskin booties. Feet are still chilly.

No, their gloriousness is not in their warmth but in their cushyness. For
uber warmth, I recommend a pair of thin cotton socks worn *under* a pair

World's Softest Socks. A few years ago, I scored some cashmere socks at a
J.Crew traveling outlet sale; they are both thin and warm; I wear them

tights (under boots)... If your feet get really cold, you really need two
pairs of socks and footwear that's loose enough to allow wiggle room (and
insulation space). In general, I find that tights/hose make my feet

than wearing nothing at all. I also recommend staying hydrated (hot

tea is great for this) to improve circulation.

I found some socks at Walmart today in Faded Glory brand. They are called

sock. They list fiber content of shell and lining of most acrylic and

polyester and spandex.
Color I have is cable chambray.

Not instant gratification, but learn to knit or con someone into knitting you
socks. Since I started wearing hand knit wool socks my feet have never been
warmer, even in the recent single digit weather. The beauty of hand knit is
A)perfect fit B)Good wool, that has not been processed to within an inch of
it's life, doesn't itch, and C) did I mention *warm*? I do wear my lighter
pairs year round, too... they doesn't seem to make my feet too hot, either.

I knit some socks last year using Lion Brand's Magic Stripes yarn.
DARN cute socks, but they are itchy :( Do I just need to suck it up
and get nicer yarn?

per ball would be nice enough yarn! I'm going to check out the
website you mentioned.

Much as I love them, this first day wearing them, I wouldn't say they are
really, REALLY warm. They are really, really nice and really, really

though. You could wear them with running shoes –– they aren't especially
thick socks.
So, get some and wear them with really warm slippers, as I'm doing right
this minute!

See, I think that wearing microfibre tights will actually make your feet
feel colder; it's just not the fiber to have next to your skin even though
it feels very comfortable. You definitely should aim to have a natural,
breathable fabric like cotton or wool next to your skin. I made my mom

wearing pantyhose under slacks and had her switch to socks and she feels
warmer.

shipping is free with a $75 order or a flat $4.95 on smaller orders
THROUGH DECEMBER 6 ONLY. Beware, however, that the website is notorious
for not applying the "multiple" purchase (buy four or more of this style
for $) prices; make sure you get the reduced rate. You may have to phone
in the order at that point, but then make sure they give you the
reduced/free shipping. They are always nice about this, but it makes the
shopping experience more stressful than necessary.

My biggest objection to dealing with onehanesplace.com is that shipping
fees are outrageous unless you happen upon a free or reduced shipping
deal. I just got email from them saying that if you order on the web,
shipping is free with a $75 order or a flat $4.95 on smaller orders
THROUGH DECEMBER 6 ONLY. Beware, however, that the website is notorious
for not applying the "multiple" purchase (buy four or more of this style
