- Men's socks
- Material
- 37% merino wool, 37% acrylic, 24% polyamide, 2% spandex
- Blend design
- Balanced merino and acrylic blend with synthetic reinforcement
- Thermal warmth
- Warmth comes from wool's air-trapping crimp and acrylic's insulating bulk
- Moisture handling
- Merino absorbs moisture and keeps insulating when damp, but saturation feels cold
- Odor resistance
- Merino's bacteriostatic properties support multi-day wear when not wet
- Fit & sizing
- Only MEDIUM and LARGE, lettered not numeric; boundary buyers should check chart
- Variant value
- Both sizes are 19 CAD and in stock, so fit is the only decision
- Cuff construction
- Ribbed cuff uses knit-purl stretch to hold the sock up
- Cuff comfort
- Ribbing should hold without squeezing; red marks or sliding signal fit issue
- Care - cuff
- Wash inside out, avoid high heat and fabric softener, air dry, don't pull on forcefully
- Care - wool
- Wool blends need careful washing to avoid shrinkage and fiber damage
- Construction
- Dense knit, ribbed cuff, intarsia dog/forest motif, visible toe seam
- Design motif
- Hunting dog, trees, duck and red collar in a brown crew sock
- Styling
- Novelty outdoor motif suits casual winter and boot wear
- Suitable uses
- Cold-weather casual, boots, hiking, lounging; not a dress sock
- Shoe fit tradeoff
- Thermal knit needs room in shoe; squeezed flat insulates less
- Durability
- Polyamide and spandex improve durability and shape retention over pure merino
- Origin
- Designed in Canada, made in Italy
- Value
- At 19 CAD, Italian-made merino-blend designer socks are an accessible seasonal purchase
- Thermal meaning
- Thermal is not standardized; judge by fiber content, loft and shoe room

Compared within this brand.
| Hunting Dog Thermal Socks: Choose this for a warm, thermal-knit sock blend featuring a unique hunting dog and forest motif, exclusive to Le 31 by Simons. The socks are designed in Canada and made in Italy, composed of a 37% merino wool blend, and include wide ribbed cuffs. While the material blend provides thermal properties, the dense knit is primarily available in a solid muted brown color on the toe and foot areas.[1,2] | Fair Isle Wool Socks: Choose this for cozy everyday warmth and indoor lounging in cold weather — reviewers describe the dense 59% wool-blend knit as warm, well-fitting, and comfortable, with festive Fair Isle patterns that make it a popular Christmas stocking gift. It comes in one size in green or red, in a Le 31 design made in Portugal. Note that some reviewers find the ankle cuffs tight and the socks thinner than typical winter wool socks, and the wool texture can feel scratchy against sensitive skin without a liner.[3] | Ribbed Lambswool Socks: Choose this if you want cozy, warm winter socks: reviewers describe cloud-like softness and cozy warmth, with lambswool fibers that insulate without bulk and wool's natural moisture-wicking keeping feet dry during long wear. They are a 50% lambswool, 48% nylon, 2% spandex knit with ribbed cuffs, made in Canada, sold in one size across seven colors. Note that sizing can run large for some women—a size 12 reviewer found them too roomy, suggesting women may want to size down—and the cuffs may feel snug on larger calves, with long-term durability still unproven.[4] |
