Brrr- chilly feet aren't my favorite. Has anyone spotted any offers worth looking at? Thanks in advance, Ambrose.
On One Thicky Merino... about a tenner for three pairs?
Ulvang socks are great. Do a search on Ebay. Seller is marko200810. Sold as "seconds", but I've never noticed. Seem to only have small sizes at the moment, but do get new stock regularly.
2nd the ulvang socks. Hoping they get big stock in again soon.
Cheers folks- on one have my cash now. Those Ulvang deals look great. I hope that larger sizes come in soon too.
Have the on-one ones and the ulvang ones but have found they don't hold a candle to the smartwool socks!
I've found the 0-0's too small, too tight and don't come up you're ankle enough - fail
Fudge - which smartwool's would you recommend?? Cheers
TK Maxx might be worth a try if you have one close by, I bought a few pairs of Teko merino socks in my local yesterday.
Go Outdoors Swansea had 3 for 2 before Christmas - bought some nice Bridgedale thinish socks which are toasty inmy winter mtb boots.
I can't fault De-Feet Woolie Boolie.
Here for £9.09:

More for hiking really but I live in Costco (Kirkland) merino socks for 5 months a year, entrepreneurs make sure they're available on Amazon and eBay for a premium
My local Levis store sell urban cycle-wear, They have super thin merino wool socks. I am able to get two pairs into my shoes without it feeling too tight. I've just bought some bamboo socks that I'm gonna try when I get over my chesty cough.
Also you might want to try some foot warmers from Decathlon.

My feet are nice and toasty when it gets cold.
Look for calf length phd rrp is £21.99 but in tkmaxx they are £6.99
My son works there at weekends so email your size I'll send you a pair at cost if there are any in today
bimpler +1 for Costco/Kirkland socks
+1 for the Smartwool ones,I have a pair of 85% merino and they are amazing,& quid out Tk Maxx but are bloody expensive to buy online,
Costco Kirkland one are a good second,75% merino and only 10 quid for 4 pairs
+1 for the Costco/Kirkland socks. I've not actually worn them on the bike but I've been wearing them for dog walking all winter and they've been great.
Just been into Go Outdoors and bought a pair of Northwave merino wool 4 season walking sock for £8 reduced
Nice and stretchy and very warm
Might want to wear them for best now though 🙂
Only issue with ulvangs I find are they are super thick, so I wear them as boot socks for work. The thinner merino socks are better IMO Planet x deals good.
I use these Bridgedale one: [url= http://www.cotswoldoutdoor.com/bridgedale-mens-merino-hiker-sock-3c110279?id_colour=92 ]linky[/url]
They last much better than On-one and De-Feet ones (the former seem to rip at the heel, the latter get thread-bare on the sole far too quickly). And they're pretty toasty.
The on one ones arrived today- super toasty so far in my slippers in my centrally heated house!
Yep, Costco merino socks are great..
Costco merino for my cosy toes.
I have been using Woolie Boolies for the past 3 years and thought I would try out the Costco packs. I would happily reccommend then to anyone with cold feet.
Ok the styling is not bike, nor is it logo'd up but they work.
I've got a few pairs of the [s]£16[/s] > £8 bridgedale ones from costwolds, some were cosmetic seconds for £6.
Short, so don't look silly on a bike. Nice and toasty. Can't comment on durability as they've not had more than one wash.
I picked up some Helly Hansen merino walking socks at my local Macarthur Glen (Bridgend) last week, 4 pairs for 12 quid. Seem to do the job.
+1 On One
Used to use woollie boollies but they are too thick for me these days.
Rapha winter are good too but, again, a tad thick so I save those for really cold days.
Anyone have a link to either the Kirklands or Smartwools?

Although they seem to be lower priced in store? Correct me if I am wrong.
Kirkland ones look good except for the colour, Any similar but black / Dark Grey / Dark Blue recommendations?
+1 for On One Thicky Merino... get large and dont touch the thin ones...mind shrunk at the suggestion of the washing machine.
the kids have them now!
ditto mrchrispy,
On One Thicky Merino NOT the thin ones which shrink to various sizes. Grrrr
De Feet Woolie Boolies for are my go to sock when it's cold. They are great!
Yeah my thinnies shrank and are totally useless now
Another On-One Fail
ta bobby.
Which smartwools? - there are hundreds of them....
Smartwool phd ski calf length, medium cushion £6.99 in tkmaxx
