The socks look chic, fit perfectly and are also comfortable to wear. However, they have the expected me aim not to freeze in several hours cycling in the winter at the feet, unfortunately, missed. Although legs and feet remain generally warm in temperatures around freezing, but the toes die depending on the outside temperature by 1.5 to the latest 3 hours felt the Kältetod. Since this was also no different with ordinary cotton socks, I once made on some tours the A / B comparison: a walk with a Gore-Tex and the other a cotton stocking. Result -> cold they are both pretty at the same time. The toes of the foot with Goretex felt then but every little less numb. Also twice drawn over each other two Goretexsocken on a foot did not improve compared to just one sock. Conclusion: At least for my anatomy are the socks in cold weather not much help and I'll have to keep looking for a solution.
