Why you'll love it

  • Icelandic wool underfootThe fleece has long outer fibres that shed damp and fine inner fibres that hold warmth, so feet stay warm even when a boot gets wet through.
  • Thick where it mattersA dense knit over the foot and a ribbed leg: the cushioning of a boot sock with a cuff that does not slide down.
  • Made in Iceland by VarmaKnitted in Iceland from Icelandic wool, by a maker that says so on every product rather than leaving you to guess.
  • The practical Iceland presentSocks are the gift that gets used: three sizes cover most of a family, and the grey goes with everything.

Questions people ask before they buy

Which size do I pick?
The sizes are European shoe sizes. Take the band your usual EU size falls in: a 38 takes 36–39, a 42 takes 40–43, a 45 takes 44–47. The knit has some give, so a size at the top of a band is fine.
How do they feel?
Dense and cushioned underfoot, noticeably thicker than an ordinary sock, with a ribbed leg that stays put. Icelandic wool has a bit of spring to it and does not go limp when it warms up. One reviewer calls them warm and comfortable even in California.
What do people wear them with?
Hiking boots and rubber boots, inside slippers, and on their own on a cold floor. One reviewer bought her first pair in Iceland as a souvenir and then ordered more for her husband, who she says is now a convert.
Can they go in the washing machine?
Yes: inside out, on a wool programme with wool detergent, then pulled back into shape and dried flat. Keep them out of the tumble dryer.
Who makes them?
Varma, the wool brand of Glófi ehf. in Reykjavík, which knits blankets, sweaters, socks and accessories from Icelandic wool and calls itself Iceland's heritage wool factory. Varma describes this as the original Icelandic wool sock, made the way it has always been made.
