Socks

I know this is a silly question but do I just wear ski-socks under my hired ski boots (obviously along with my trousers and jacket!) or do I need to wear an extra pair of socks under the ski socks?

Please forgive me , I am new to all this! Very Happy

re: Socks

One pair of thick ski socks is enough, dont wera two pairs or you will get blisters. Decathlon do two pairs of quality ski socks for about eoght quid. Enjoy. Tony L.

re: Socks

I don't recommend wearing thick socks, as they can't breath and your toe's will freeze.

Either buy a pair of thin thermal socks, or cut down some stockings and wear them.

I'm not into cross dressing, but my feet are much warmer wearing stockings... best tip I've had in ages.

Thick ski socks are a thing of the past. Get a decent pair of thin ones good quality and this should be fine. I wore a thin pair of cotton socks this year as well but it was very cold -26!!!!
