Best Thermal Socks For Walking

Scott of the Antarctic and his party of explorers are famous for their doomed expedition into the wasteland of the South Pole. Of course their snowy downfall was partly due to blizzards, lack of supplies and aggressive penguins, but it's also very possible that they didn't bring the right socks! After all, toes and fingers are the first things to succumb to frostbite.

Here at WalkingSticks.co.uk, we've collected a list of the five best thermal socks, all of which could have given poor Scott's expedition a fighting chance!

Best Thermal Socks For Children

Children are fearless and will plunge through drifts of snow without a second thought. Unfortunately they are also more vulnerable to the cold.
