New York City experienced its first proper snowfall of the season last night, and I’ve just returned from a delightful traipse through Prospect Park, where I saw hundreds of excited dogs wearing cute little puffer jackets. As I arrived home and took off my snow boots, I started thinking about how nice it would be to slip my feet into a cozy pair of house socks like these ones from heritage outdoors brand Woolrich. Usually $14, they’re marked down to just $8 at REI right now, which is a 43 percent discount.
With a fleecy inner layer and knitted outer layer, these snuggly socks are ideal for padding around one’s apartment — even more so because they’re infused with aloe vera, which helps combat dry winter skin. (Kind of like those old-fashioned moisturizing spa gloves but for your feet.) Best of all, they’re patterned with retro Nordic snowflakes that match the weather outside. Speaking of which: If you’re on the hunt for winter socks to wear once you leave the house, here’s a guide I wrote to the best merino-wool ones.
