Shopping with Heat Holders

Choosing the right sock weight

The socks are sold in three thicknesses, and the right one depends mainly on your shoes. The heaviest Original weight is aimed at boots, wellingtons and wearing around the house without shoes. The Lite weight suits casual shoes with a bit of room, and the Ultra Lite weight is the one for tighter-fitting footwear where bulk would be uncomfortable. If your shoes are already snug, going thicker than necessary is a common mistake.

Thinking about slipper socks

If you spend a lot of time on hard floors, the grip version is worth a look. These carry a non-slip sole on top of the same thermal construction, which makes them better for indoor wood or tiled surfaces than standard socks.

Looking beyond socks

The accessories are built around a fur-like thermal lining, and they suit anyone who wants cold-weather cover without bulk. Neck warmers work as a tidy alternative to a scarf, and the hats and gloves are sold in a range of sizes. Loungewear, dressing gowns and the oversized blankets cover the indoor side of the brand, so you can coordinate the whole look or buy only what you need.

Before you order

Because the socks are designed to hold warm air close to the skin, wearing two pairs is not the usual advice here; a single correctly fitted pair does the job. Check the size guidance on each product page before ordering, particularly for gloves and tights, where fit varies between men's and women's styles.
