DeFeet Woolie Boolie Cycling Socks

For those of us that like things natural, DeFeet has produced 2 distinct kinds of wool socks for our enjoyment. First was the Woolie Boolie (tell me you don't like that name!). It was an entirely new program for us - designed from the ground up with comfort, insulation, and dryness in mind. The Woolie Boolie could be easily described as a mid-weight sock. By mid-weight, we mean roughly twice the thickness of the Aireator. Like all our wool socks, it's made of superior quality Merino Wool. And for those of you who remember the sweaty 70s, this is nothing like the wool suits and sweaters you used to have... Merino wool breathes better than just about any other wool out there. Being a natural fiber, wool has intrinsic wicking capabilities understood only by sheep and wearers of DeFeet wool socks. Let's just say you have to wear them to understand. They're comfortable in the chill of winter and during the heat of summer. For those of you who immediately start scratching yourself when you think about wool, think again. These socks have been called some of the softest, most comfortable socks we make by many of our customers. OK, so maybe it's not really a life-changing experience... But it is a pair of socks you should try. I can't tell a lie... chances are that if you like our Aireators, you'll love the Wooleators! To put it simply, the Wooleators are basically an Aireator made of wool. They're made of the same superior-grade wool described above. They're thin and durable and come in two flavors - check 'em out below.

Buy these socks!!!
Pros: Comfortable, Good Fit, Great Value, High Quality
Cons: Limited Color Choices
"After a diabolical winter of hypothermic, damp, sleety slidey riding, when I got cold every time I went out, I finally dusted off my credit card and went for these. If only I'd got some in November! I can't believe the difference they make. They are enough on their own under touring shoes to keep my feet warm on the 0645 10km commute, where the day before my toes had been numb for an hour after I arrived at work. When combined with overshoes I have never once had cold feet, even though I've had cold burns on my face and there's been ice on the road all day. They've been washed and come out OK with no difference in performance. I haven't tumble dried them, they dry ok on the back of a chair overnight. Oh, and they have sheep on them and I think that's a good thing."

excellent, but buy next size up
Pros: Comfortable, Good Fit, High Quality
Cons: Expensive
"very warm, comfortable, cushioning and breathable. Tend to shrink slightly, even when washed at 30/delicate so buy a size larger. Work equally well next to skin or with liners. Toes were still warm in the lake district at about -8."

truly toastie !
Pros: Comfortable, Good Fit, High Quality
"I already own are of woolie boolies and found them extremely warm and comfortable.
However there was a niggle - my missus who complains of cold feet round the house.
Now my missus takes precious little interest in my cycling exploits, but I thought we could gel a little more on the cycling front if I could solve her problem.
And then it struck me woolie boolies could help; if they're good enough for Yorkshire's inclement weather when cycling surely they could help keep her feet warm round the house.
So I bought her a pair without telling her.
"oh they're wonderful darling, my tootsies are now toastie warm, I can even run around the frreezing patio in just my new lovely socks, without feeling any cold whatsoever, how absolutely super. You cyclists certainly know a thing or two about keeping warm"
Well there you go an excellent product, very comfortable, they stay up all the time and are very warm."

Best tenner you can spend
Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Good Fit, Great Value, High Quality
"Why oh why did I not buy a pair of these sooner.
Cold feet are a thing of the past, and the padding has also made my shoes feel that much more comfortable.
The best tenner I've ever spent.
Thoroughly recommended."

The perfect sock
Pros: Attractive, Comfortable, Durable, Good Fit, High Quality, Versatile
"Since I bought these I haven't stopped wearing them. I can cycle in them for hours and then carry on wearing them after my ride and they still don't smell. They keep my feet warm in the cold and they aren't too hot when it's not cold. I'm going to buy more of these."

"Bought these too keep my feet warm without overshoes. They work to about 6 degrees but any colder and your feet will still start to get cold. Overall i'm very happy but may need to get some overshoes on the colder mornings."

"i only buy Defeet socks when it comes to cycling as they are soo durable.
Also after years when they start to become a bit thin, thread bare, they take over as to be worn around the house.

Nice and cosy!
Pros: Comfortable, High Quality, Good Fit
"Good quality socks that are effective down to about 5 degrees but are not wind proof so on days with a high windchill you may need something more substantial. Otherwise a sound pair of socks that keep your toes snug and warm on those early autumn commutes."

"De Feet Woolie Boolies are the best socks full stop bar none. They are soft, comfortable, look good, perhaps a tad pricey but you get what you pay for. They are beautiful soft Aussie Merino wool and I for one wear them all year round. You cannot beat quality socks on your tootsies and these are top sheep! Buy them now and you will not regret it :o))"
