In the pursuit of sock nirvana, the old tricks (like using a wicking inner liner underneath a thicker sock) have given way to a heady mixture of tech fabrics, woven together in a topographical maze of various thicknesses that combine powers to create the best custom boot-friendly fit. Why the evolution? Because too much sock equals numb toes due to lack of circulation; too little leaves you with cold feet, shin bang, and blisters. Take the Ski Light Socks from Point 6. The 62 percent no-itch merino wool content is duckling soft, while the remaining blend of nylon and spandex means you can toss ‘em in the washer and dryer. And our cold-weather testers report that the socks maintain shape after dozens of wear-and-wash cycles. On a recent trip to the Wasatch Front Range, one tester wore the socks in 5 degree temps, blasting down the slopes during the day and chatting with a busy ice sculptor during an even-colder outdoor party. Admittedly, her boots were warm, but she swears the socks added a good 10 degrees of comfort.
