Socks indoors on cold floors
Short answer: On a cold floor your feet lose heat constantly. A pair of socks does more for comfort than turning the thermostat up one degree.
The floor is colder than the air
A floor can be five degrees colder than the air in the room. Feet feel the floor, not the air. See bamboo socks for women.
Dry feet feel the cold less
Damp feet in closed slippers get cold. A material that moves moisture helps. See bamboo socks for men.
Change into fresh socks at home
The socks that have been in shoes all day are damp. Change them when you get home. See bamboo underwear for women.
Socks in the evening on the sofa
Cold feet are the most common reason people reach for a blanket. Socks solve it directly. See bamboo loungewear for women.
