Best Fuzzy Socks for Warmth & Comfort Reviewed
Standout Picks
Criteria Used for Evaluation
Comfort
What goes best with a comfortable shoe? A comfortable sock, of course. The entire wearing experience of a shoe can be ruined by socks that are uncomfortable, too hot or cold, too wet, or simply just fall down when you are in motion.
In our comfort criterion, we ranked products on our list according to those factors named above. If it didn't regulate temperature correctly, or if it had quality issues, like a poor elastic, it didn't make our list. Given that these are socks designed for warmth, we understand their job is to keep heat in; however, they should also be able to breath and keep you dry while also keeping you warm.
A high score on our comfort criterion means the sock is more likely to provide you with a positive wearing experience, and will keep your feet warm and dry, without issues like poor elastics or slippage while in motion.
Ease of Use
Comfortable fuzzy socks should include soft materials and a lightweight build that’s great for use around the house. On the other hand, the socks should be easy to slip on when waking up and should include features such as elastic bands in order to prevent the sock from slipping down.
Look for fuzzy socks that are a little larger than your regular sock size, so that they are not too tight with the lining. If you are going to wear them outside in your winter boots, keep in mind that your boots may seem tight while wearing such thick socks.
Socks that are made of non-slip materials (silks, for example, are very slippery, as are many synthetic materials), or that have non-slip grips added to increase your safety while walking in the cozy socks.
Most of these socks are machine washable for convenience and ease but read the descriptions carefully – some need to be hand washed for the best results.
Features
From features like moisture-wicking materials to fabrics that stretch and go back to normal, even after going through the washing machine, this entire criterion was dedicated to evaluating the best and coolest features socks have to offer.
There is nothing worse than having a cool pair of socks that stretch or fray when they come out of the wash. Or how about a heel that wears quickly, leaving your foot sticking out the back of your sock? When we evaluate for features, we are considering whether or not the product has features that will combat and prevent these annoying incidences from occurring.
A higher score on this metric, the better features woven into the sock. From dry technology to easy-to-clean fabrics, there is something on this list that made us take a second look (and add it to our top 10 list!).
Insulation
Warmth is one of the most important features of a pair of fuzzy socks. Insulation ability is better described as the socks ability to retain heat in a cold environment. Every sock included on our list are great insulators and fantastic for keeping your feet warm as a whole.
Sherpa Lining
Included in some of the socks on our list, is a great example of a thermal insulator that insulates very well, keeping your feet very warm.
Microfiber
This is a more common insulator used in fuzzy socks. Look for a microfiber that is thick and comfortable. Thin microfibers tend to develop weak spots and holes quickly, whereas thicker linings last longer.
Fleece
Another popular warming option which is why the material is a very popular choice among shoe linings in hunting and hiking boots. Fleece is one of the best options for keeping your feet warm as heat is trapped in the air pockets between its fibers.
Style
While style is often a matter of personal taste, we've checked thousands of online reviews to see what people are saying about each of the socks on our list. Some things, such as warmth, seamless construction and overall ability to keep shape over time, were common likes or dislikes among buyers of each product.
To evaluate style, we considered everything from the design, color, shape, weight, lines and overall construction of the sock in question. While no one wants to wear an uncomfortable sock, they also don’t want a comfortable sock to be ugly on the eyes. We’ve selected all of those on our top 10 to be not only stylish, but also comfortable, true-to-size, supportive and durable.
The higher the score on the “style” metric, the more fashionable we and the community of buyers we surveyed deemed the product to be.
