If you love to get your hands dirty in the garden or have an allotment, you know it’s a year-round task. When the temperature drops, you’ll really appreciate the proven warmth, the softness and the sheer blissful comfort of these women\’s’ SOCKSHOP Heat Holders Outdoor 2.3 TOG Plain Long Leg Gardening Socks. Ideal for wellingtons and other ‘big’ boots, the longer leg length with their non-binding tops ensure you are cosy, and that your circulation is protected. The extra-gentle leg hold means that they’re diabetic-friendly too.

These reassuringly chunky socks are knitted from Heat Holders’ high performance insulating Japanese thermal yarn. Inside them is the HH secret — a UK-patented long looped cushioned pile inside, expertly and extensively brushed for a super-soft, deep fibre cushion able to trap warm air and hold it next to the skin for longer, giving these socks their certified 2.3 TOG rating — that’s over 7x warmer than basic cotton socks! Lasting warmth and lasting durability too, the socks are reinforced at the toes and heels. And watch out for the fun little fork and trowel logo at the top of the leg!
