Cold feet due to neuropathy - need help

Can the socks fit in your shoes ok? I’m wearing the supply of socks out that I bought 7 years ago. So old that I don’t recall brand, but I bought several 6 packs of them from Walmart back then once I found they worked for me. I have separate/thicker house socks, but I need something for shoes that are thick enough to help the shoe fit better for support (especially around lower ankle), but not stretch my shoe by being too thick. Of course, main goal is thick enough to help keep feet warm.

Hi Debbie, I wear compression socks which are thin and not very warm for my lymphedema so in the winter time I generally slip on a pair of bamboo stretchy socks over the top. This gives me a little more thickness and helps keep the feet a little warmer. On the really cold days when I have to be outside I also wear Hot Sockee - Neoprene Toe Warmers which keep the heat in the front half of my foot - https://www.amazon.com/Hot-Sockee-Neoprene-Warmers-Construction/dp/B076B56FPD/. There are many brands and types of bamboo socks available on Amazon but I haven't seen any locally at stores here.
Yes, I can wear them with my shoes unless I buy the fuzzys I sleep in. They are very soft.

Hi Debbie,
Years ago I bought quite a few pairs of FootJoy low-cut socks from my local golf course shop. They wear so well I still have several unworn pairs. Back then there wasn't a choice of styles but if I were to buy this type of sock again (which I would if I needed the kind you are describing), I'd go for the ProDry Sportlet 2-pack for Women - the one with the 5-star rating.
I sure understand the dilemma of finding the right sock that fits all the criteria!
All the best,
Barb
