Thanks for the links! You actually turned me to Dachstein socks a couple years ago and they're simply the best. Unfortunately, one of our dogs got a hold of one so I need to replace them before winter. Our weather here in TN is nothing compared to your neck of the woods, snow comes once a year if we're lucky! The temperature range I'm struggling with is that 35-55°F. A thinner ply Dachstein sock will likely solve the warmth factor. Now it's just what shoe dries quickly.
