The Best Socks for Winter Toes

Word of mouth: customers with chilblains (“winter toes”) swear by our socks! Once they’ve tried Zokk’n, they don’t want anything else. And that’s hardly surprising, because even though these socks are very fine, they’re also extremely warm! This makes sense when you realize we chose to use 85% merino wool.

Note: The price is per sock, so a pair costs €26

Why Zokk’n?

Warm wool socks are particularly effective for people suffering from chilblains (winter toes) due to the unique properties of wool. Here are five reasons why they work so well:

  1. Excellent insulation
    Wool naturally retains body heat, helping to prevent your feet from getting too cold—a major cause of chilblains.
  2. Moisture regulation
    Wool can absorb up to 30% of its weight in moisture without feeling wet. This keeps your feet dry by wicking away sweat or external moisture, which is crucial in preventing cold from worsening.
  3. Breathability
    Wool allows air to circulate, preventing overheating. This helps maintain a stable foot temperature and avoids extreme fluctuations that could make chilblains worse.
  4. Soft and comfortable pressure
    Wool is flexible and gentle, meaning it does not put unnecessary pressure on the skin. This is essential because chilblains often cause skin sensitivity.
  5. Antibacterial properties
    Wool contains lanolin, a natural substance that inhibits bacterial growth. This reduces the risk of infections or skin irritation, which can occur when chilblain-affected skin is damaged.

By wearing wool socks, your feet stay warm, dry, and protected, making them an ideal choice to prevent or ease chilblain symptoms.

Ribbed socks

Our ribbed wool socks provide ultimate warmth, a better fit, and extra comfort—perfect for cold winter days and people suffering from chilblains!

Here are some reasons why ribbed socks are particularly effective:

  1. Better fit : The ribbed structure provides natural elasticity, allowing the sock to fit snugly around the foot. This prevents air from escaping and keeps warmth close to the skin.
  2. Extra insulation layers : The ribbing creates a thin air layer between the skin and the sock. Since air is an excellent insulator, this helps regulate temperature.
  3. Improved circulation : The gentle pressure from the ribbed texture can help stimulate blood flow, which is essential for preventing cold feet and chilblains.
