If every cold-weather season [1] you find yourself cursing up a storm because your feet are numb (does "my toes are f*cking frozen" sound like something you've shouted before?), put an end to that nonsense this year. You don't need to spend a fortune to keep your feet warm the next time you find yourself wading through big snowbanks. We found a tried-and-true pair of padded, itch-free, moisture-wicking socks that are good for walking, hiking, and even skiing. See how they stack up.

Arctic Extreme Insulated Heated Boot Thermal Sock

The Arctic Extreme Insulated Heated Boot Thermal Sock [2] ($20 for 2 pairs) are made of thick thermal yarn and will keep your feet toasty.

They're editor-approved!

"I bought these socks for my boyfriend and I because I was tired of our 'boot socks' always needing to go into the dryer after a 20-second wear through the snow (we don't have a dryer in our apartment, so literally to get to the dryer involved another walk through snow . . . catch 22 dilemma), and I never looked back. Not only are they thick and warm, but they don't completely soak through in .3 seconds like other socks." — Alessia Santoro, editor, Moms
