Can anyone recommend brand of socks to keep my toes warm. I already wear Northwave Gortex winter shoes, however my toes still get chilled.
Many thanks,

Uncle Phil said:New socks, never before worn are always best, no matter what type. Once they've been washed, or worn for more than a few hours, they lose that nice fluffiness that makes them warm.
Trouble is, if you buy new socks for every ride, you'll soon have an awful lot of socks...
Blonde said:You needs merino wool socks. Very warm but a lot less bulky than synthetic ones of similar warmth. Smartwool and Defeet are some brands. When I did 200 km on an icy minus three day I wore a very thin/wicking pair of synthetic socks by 1000mile that i usually wear for 30 degree heat, and my warmest Defeet 'Woolie Boolie' socks over the top. I also wore Assos overshoes over my shoes and it worked a treat. Usually on my commute (13 miles each way) I only need to wear the Woolie Boolies on their own and without overshoes though, even when it's below freezing. You also need to make sure your shoes are not too tight. Shoes with plenty of toe room will be warmer.
