For running and other outdoor activities in below-freezing temperatures, especially if you are skiing, winter hiking, or snowboarding, your usual, trusty moisture-wicking sports socks may not provide enough warmth. When the wind chill is in the double digits below zero, thermal athletic socks, such as SmartWool line, provide the warmth of wool and moisture-wicking properties to keep your feet dry.

Another option: Layer a thin pair of moisture-wicking socks under a standard pair of wool socks for a similar effect, but be mindful of the potential for blisters if the inner sock gets bunched up.
