Having literal cold feet is kind of the worst. Especially during winter. And because it can be kind of difficult to find socks that will actually keep your feet warm, if you suffer from icy toes, you've probably tried just about every other method of imparting any amount of heat possible on your feet.

For instance, because it's almost impossible to fall asleep when you can't feel your feet, you probably know the struggle of trying to tuck your feet under your SO, a pet, or even yourself just so you can finally catch a few Zs. And that struggle is pretty real. After all, it's much easier to keep your feet warm in the first place than warm them up from a zero-degree state. Which is why it would be really nice if your socks actually kept your feet at a temperature closer to the rest of your body.

While it can be difficult to find some such socks, they do exist. So to help make your winter a little more bearable, here are 12 types of socks that will keep your toes surprisingly cozy. Because, believe it or not, it is actually possible to be able to feel your feet during these colder months.
