What comes to your mind when you think about family activities? We suggest sock shopping! Picking warm and versatile sets from Nordic Socks can prove to be the number one family activity, because it helps you indulge in all other hobbies preferred by you and your loved ones. Hikes, weekend getaways or lazy Sundays have never been easier.
No two pairs of feet are identical. We know this fact, and the result is a wide array of products that accommodate this plentiful diversity.
Wool socks for men and women are only the beginning. There are also kids' sizes for selected collections. Not to mention that your sensitivity to the cold and stylistic choices are accounted for. You may pick:
As for the material, we blended the world-famous Merino wool with stretchy materials that also prolong your socks' lifespan and impact absorption.
This is not to say that you need to be particularly active to enjoy the benefits of woolen socks. Quite the contrary sometimes. A cozy day in can turn into the perfect environment for these particularly warm woolen socks.
Imagine this. It is Saturday, and you and your family finally managed to sleep in after a long week of school and work. Your kids' favorite cartoon is on, and a quick breakfast of milk and cereal is seen as a comfort meal, not a rushed one. But what if the floor is cold or the children are too energetic to cuddle underneath a blanket while watching TV?
To ensure perfect comfort, Nordic socks are ideal for indoor and relaxed activities, as well. They embody the spirit of hygge—creating a cozy, warm atmosphere where everyone feels at ease. The entire family can benefit from warm feet all day long, no matter the surface. Even having guests in can help showcase the benefits of wool socks from Nordic. Need more slippers? Fuzzy socks may do the trick even better for your houseguests, making every indoor moment even more delightful.
Tired of lounging about? You can get out of home, but homey comfort will cling to you even while you face the harsh weather outside and engage in physical activity.
Nordic features long socks (knee highs and over the knees) and varying levels of thickness for the needs of active types. When temperatures drop, it is most advisable to wear stockings that are on the 4th and 5th tiers of thickness. The scale goes from one to five, which refers to thin pairs, wearable in the summer, whereas 4s and 5s provide increased warmth and support for challenging environments.
Generally, making the transition between indoor and outdoor activities will also translate to picking thicker socks for the tricky outside. Furthermore, you may opt for longer versions. Knee-high socks and even those that go above the knee help keep your feet and lower legs snug and heat-adjusted no matter the weather.
Sizes vary between 35-50 EU ( US/CA 3.5-17, UK 3-15). This is an extremely wide range, thanks to the brand's credo that everyone should partake in the togetherness and joyful activity that it promotes.Child sizes are also in the EU 27-34 range (US/CA 10-13, UK 9-12). . Our recommendation is to consult the on-site size guide and, should you find yourself between two sizes, always choose the bigger one.
Selecting the right thickness for different temperature needs
Temperature and other factors can make you desire wool socks that have a stark focus on warmth. Long socks can also be the right pick in these situations.
If you want something that puts more emphasis on keeping you cool and dry, thinner and low cut pairs will most likely do the trick. We will help you navigate through all the Nordic Socks collections to get your best fits for all the contexts of everyday life.

Of course, styles may vary from one family member to another, which is why you might opt for different Nordic sets. No problem! Each set consists of 5 pairs, so everyone can find their perfect match.
Some people shy away from wool socks because they are afraid of their specific requirements. This rings especially true when it comes to Merino wool, but there are ways we manage to go around what some may consider a point of concern.
The best tip is to always be gentle with woolen articles of clothing. As a rule of thumb, choosing lower temperatures, in the 20 to 30 degrees Celsius range, is a safe way to preserve your stockings and other garments.
If you do not want to use the washing machine, it's also safe to wash your sock pairs by hand. Be, however, mindful of the water's temperature and avoid strong movements.
Wool is not suitable for machine drying. A tumble dry can be too aggressive for this fabric. Moreover, it may hinder wool's properties and even cause the fibers to shrink.
Wool has its fair share of natural enemies, such as moths, carpet beetles, and silverfish, which are particularly attracted to natural fibers like wool. Folding your socks carefully and storing them in a container or drawer with a cedar sachet might be the wisest move against moths and other non-human wool enjoyers.
While wear and tear are unfortunate realities for many pieces of clothing and especially socks, you can prolong the life of your woolen socks with enough care. We also advise against washing them too often. It's also recommended that they only be washed along with other delicate pieces.
Plus, thanks to Merino's durable qualities and the added support from the other materials we used, your pairs might last years on end.
No matter your age and gender, coziness is a need. And Nordic Socks helps you fulfill this need while ensuring that everyone from your family has a sock style they can thoroughly enjoy. The list will soon grow with exciting new styles! Stay tuned and follow Nordic Socks on Instagram for updates and sneak peeks.
