Winter Heat Retention - Why Socks matter in winter times


Spoiling the party is not enough by just relying upon the fact that once the outside temperature drops, heat is lost from the extremities. This loss is sometimes ignored; however, it is fundamentally this that dictates the keeping of the feet warm or vice versa. Let's discuss how the selection of one's socks can make a big difference and why socks matter in winter times. 

Heating Loss Through Extremities


In order to maintain the core body temperature, the body automatically loses heat to the extremities. Without insulation for the feet, such heat loss occurs so fast they tend to feel cold even if the rest of the body is bundled up.


The Science of Insulating Fibres


Not all socks are of equal quality. Certain natural insulating fibers, like those from alpaca, cashmere, and Angora wool, produce a thermal barrier and for this reason maintain warmth in the feet. They create an air barrier helping to maintain warmth around your feet while still being breathable. These properties make them the perfect choice for your comfy but stylish winter outfit.
