Debra Weitzner Anti-Slip Fuzzy Socks For Women, 6-Pack

Few things can be as nice as slipping into comfortable clothing after a long, hard day. Fuzzy socks add to that, giving you something to cover your feet while you lounge around the house.

But fuzzy socks aren’t just for lounging. Some are designed to protect your feet from subzero temperatures when you leave the house. Still others are meant to be worn to bed, keeping your feet toasty while you sleep. Then there are thinner fuzzy socks that provide comfort but also can be worn in warmer weather.

Material is everything when it comes to fuzzy socks. Wool can make a big difference in keeping your feet warm, but it can also be more abrasive. By mixing it with cotton or polyester, manufacturers give you warmth without making you sacrifice comfort. If you plan to just wear the socks around the house, you might want a thicker material than if you plan to wear them with shoes.

You’ll also find fuzzy socks vary in quality. Some are covered in a material that tends to shed. If you plan to wear and wash your socks often, this could become a problem over time. It might be worth paying a little extra to get socks that will hold up over many seasons.

• The first thing you’ll notice as you shop for fuzzy socks is that they vary in color options. If you’re buying a pair to wear to school, work or for play, you may want a pair that will blend in with your clothing. If, however, you’re wearing them around the house, some fun, whimsical patterns could be a better option.
• You can buy socks by the pair or in sets of multiple pairs. A set will give you plenty to wear throughout the week.
• The length of socks varies, too. Crew socks are designed to cover the ankle, while others will come all the way up to your calf.
• Many socks build spandex in to keep them from sliding down while you’re wearing them. This will also help them hold their shape over many uses.
• Most socks are machine washable but check the label before you buy to make sure. Also check that it’s OK to toss them in the dryer versus line drying.
• If you wear a shoe size between 5 and 9, you probably will find that most socks fit within that range. If your shoe size is outside that range, you’ll need to search specifically for fuzzy socks in those sizes.
