, you typically want to avoid cotton in the winter. Most manufacturers turn to merino wool for their winter socks. It’s thinner and softer than your typical wool and has the ability to wick moisture away from your skin while also trapping air between the fibers to help insulate you against the cold. While merino is incredibly comfortable, it’s not particularly durable, so brands typically blend it with a synthetic material like polyester to boost its longevity.
The typical waterproof sock sandwiches a waterproof layer between two knit fabrics. And while they’re breathable, they’re not as breathable as straight merino wool/polyester socks, so they’ll trap heat. This is great when it’s 2-degrees and you’re running through streams. It’s overkill when it’s 33-degrees and sunny.No-show bootie, ankle-length, mid-calf, knee-socks: Most brands give you multiple options for length, even with their winter-minded models.
