The overwhelming replies i had yesterday was surprising. But first off, my body is fairly warmer than usual and i dont get cold fast. All these time i was investing in insulated/waterproof shoes. Never the socks, best socks i had was heatgear from underarmour (heat retention socks). So i tried the advices here to wear wool socks and i have those thin ones and i put it over my usual UA socks. Wore same shoes for comparison. Same temp and damn. 🤯 The world of difference even a thin wool socks can make. Thank you Norway reddit!

I came to read 39 comments. 😑 …f**k I’m dumb. 🤣
Making sure your shoes are not too tight is also a good idea btw.
Preferably use wool close to the body. Wool transports moisture away from the body. And should you be unlucky enough to get completely wet, wool still keeps you warm.
I got sneakers who can fit my wool/synthetic winter socks, for winter season.
Their air in the wool is what’s warm, so you should wear woollen socks closest to your skin
I studied in Narvik and a guy wore the same shorts all year round. True viking
Dude I wear crocs in the winter. And it gets up to 30- where I live
Shoes are ‘spensive dawg
Nords get 50% resistance to cold damage.
This man really thought can I post this, and not should I post this
no pain no gain
I always wear sneakers in the winter. Currently it’s -12 outside and I am still wearing sneakers
Loved this “winter sneakers” post ! Thank you for the laugh 😃 😀 😄
I was given a very sweet telling-off by the staff of my little son’s naturbarnehage – his boots were wrong for this weather (the boots are recommended by the selfsame naturbarnehage, just not for this time of year apparently) and my son’s socks were *synthetic*.
Please don’t contact barnevernet just yet, I’m working on getting him proper footwear!!!
TBH I’m about to post on r/Bergen about this, but I might as well try here too: anyone know of a shop that sells wool socks for 3-year-olds? I found a bunch of socks which were 20 percent wool, which means only most of his toes will fall off, rather than of all of them…
Two answers:
Wool
Sneakers made for winter
Wat? I wear my crocs no socks snow outside temp on the negative. Like most people. What up.
It’s easy, when I was working outside, I would use wool underneath, long legs, and long-armed, with wool socks. and cap. I was so warm working that I would never use a jacked or anything else than a sweater, and normal work pants.
