Some sock tips:
- Try not to double up your socks to stay warm. Too many layers of socks restricts your toes and decreases blood circulating. You need that circulation to stay warm. If you need to add more layers, try silk liners or willies.
- Do shop outside of your tack store for socks. Some of the warmest socks are found in outdoor hiking and skiing stores like REI.
- Buy a taller sock, at least mid calf, that will help keep snow and water from getting down to your toes.
SmartWool Socks: Run about $18-$25 and so worth it. Smartwool has the warmest socks I have ever worn! The ski socks have cute patters too.

Darn Tough Socks: These socks are made in Vermont...where it gets really cold! They are guaranteed for life. They run about the same price as Smart Wool, $24, and are made out of Merino Wool. These would be my second choice, I still am a SmartWool fan.
Horseware Softie Socks: Only $5.99 at Dover. These look super cuddly and knee height. Maybe not great for super cold days, but I bet they are great for the chilly days. Who says you can't have a little luxury sock under your paddock boots?
Joules Willie Socks: Willie socks are designed to be placed inside your boot in addition to wearing socks. This is where one size up in winter riding boot is necessary. Wearing these and regular socks will keep you nice and toasty. $28.99.
Silk Liners: These are available to purchase at any outdoor type store. They are very thin and do not interfere with the ability to move your toes. They add an extra layer that really does make a huge difference in warmth. About $7-$10.
