Your extremities are the first to bear the brunt of the cold. And when you really think about it, cold feet or feeling the unexpected icy touch of someone else’s freezing feet is one of the most dreaded parts of the winter months. If you (or your partner’s) feet seem to always be cold, no matter how expensive your merino-wool socks are or how high-tech your new boots are, you may need to drop some cash on next-level foot-warming technology.
Although you may not be doing as much winter traveling this year as normal, if you plan on embracing the great outdoors with any sort of element-infused adventures such as hiking, skiing, or ice fishing, heated socks are definitely worthy of an investment in your wardrobe.
Even if you plan on staying warm and cozy indoors this winter, a morning of shoveling snow in the driveway could be in your future. A good pair of electric heated socks will make all of your winter activities warmer and honestly, a little better overall.
From sitting in front of the fireplace to trekking through the cold, your feet (again, or your partner's. Heated socks are a great gift for outdoorsy people!) will thank you for a bit of warmth. Not to mention, these heated socks are also perfect for people who work for long hours out in the elements during the winter season.
We love the warmth these socks provide from their rechargeable 7.4-volt battery packs. You can also adjust the heat level of these heated socks to high, medium, or low — depending on how chilly you're feeling.
They're medium-weight with reinforced toes and heels because too thin of a sock lets heat escape, and one that's too thick (or wearing two pairs) can be counterproductive if you're exercising outdoors in the cold. That way, you can take them hiking, fishing, camping, or skiing all winter.
You'll love the super-thin heating module in these socks because you'll barely even notice it's there — until it feels like you're resting your toes by a heater!
The battery pack is also a solid compact size that won't add bulk around the outside of your calf, so knee-high boots won't be a problem. Plus, they come in fun, bright colors.
On their hottest setting, these heated socks use infrared heating to get up to 150 degrees. They come in four different sizes so that they'll hug your feet snugly.
They're great for outdoor adventurers or for people who struggle with circulation issues and can't seem to get their feet warm in the chilly weather.
These burnt orange heated socks not only look warm but actually heat up in just seconds. With three heating levels, a pair of rechargeable batteries, and up to 10 hours of battery life, these machine washable heated socks are must-haves for winter. Plus, the COOLMAX fabric is anti-stretch, so they won’t fall down!
Keep cold feet at bay for up to 10 hours with these socks, depending on which of the four settings you choose.
These liners are thinner than most other options, so you can wear them under some Merino-wool socks without buying a bigger pair of boots! Plus, you can change the output from your pocket — without exposing your hands to the cold — with a simple remote control.
Plagued by eternally cold feet in the colder months? Slip on these heated socks, turn on the battery pack, and keep your feet feeling warm and fuzzy while you play or work outside.
They come with two rechargeable 3.7-volt lithium-ion batteries, so there's no need to keep purchasing replacement AA batteries throughout the year.
Bluetooth controls for your socks may seem like a bit of overkill for some, but with how technologically-driven our world is these days, it totally makes sense.
Sure, the fourth iteration of these lithium battery-powered socks with heated toecaps are pricey, but you can monitor the battery life and adjust the heat output as you warm up or cool down — right from a Bluetooth app on your phone!
Sharper Image makes all types of cool gadgets that you'll see in an airplane catalog, and these might just be something that you'd need after getting off your flight to Alaska. These socks are made with a polyester-spandex blend, so they wick moisture and stay snugly in place when you're active.
Plus, they feature battery-rechargeable heating elements that run along the sole of your foot, from heel to toe, because, as we all know, heat rises!
Slip these insoles into your snow boots, hiking shoes, or work boots (or alternate between all three), and you'll have heat delivered through the soles of your feet for up to 5 hours per charge.
Our favorite part? You can control the heat setting with the adjustable thermostat, so it's perfect for folks in the army, police, or EMS who switch tasks between freezing temps and being indoors frequently.
If you are new to the warm world of heated socks, this under $25 pair is perfect for you and your wallet. These machine-washable socks feature three temperature modes ranging from 113°F (8 to 9 hours) up to 149°F (3 to 4 hours). They come with two rechargeable batteries, so your feet will stay warm all winter long!
These fiery socks offer wraparound heat in under 30 seconds, thanks to the super-thin microwave heating elements. The padded heel and toe areas help keep the warmth in the sock for longer (up two 12 hours, in fact!). There are four temperature settings and an ergonomically curved battery pack, so you are warm and comfortable.
The two sizes fit a wide range of men's and women's shoes — just be sure to check out the size chart before ordering.
