Heated Socks Are The Key To Happy Feet This Season

Following the heat of summer, cooler temps are always a welcome relief. Who doesn't love the crisp fall nights, the excitement of the first snowfall, or the start of cuffing season (all the more reason to get all snuggly!)? Well, people who are perpetually cold—that's who. With all the excitement and joy the winter season brings, uncomfortably chilly temps are an unfortunate side effect.

As much as you can choose to embrace the cold by finding an excuse to get cozy and warm in your favorite loungewear, under (faux!) fur blankets in front of a fire and some hot cocoa, no turtleneck or fleece-lined leggings can combat those cold feet. For those times your feet are just far colder than the rest of your body and your regular old fuzzy socks aren't cutting it, you'll want to grab some heated socks. Yup, they're a real thing, and you'll love wearing them even more when you're out and about running errands in the cold.

Or, maybe you're the type of outdoor adventurer who loves to get active with snow sports like skiing, snowboarding, or snowshoeing. Whether this is the moment you've been waiting for since last year, or you frequently find yourself dreaming of moving to a warmer climate, a pair of heated socks can really up-level your slope game, so you can spend more time out having fun than going inside to thaw.

Whether you're decorating cookies at home or hitting the slopes, there are tons of options to choose from. Some are battery-operated, while others are self-warming or made of ultra-insulated materials. Others are even fully microwaveable (and stylish enough to make a great gift!).

See below for nine of our favorite heated socks, and say, "hello" to your new happy feet!
