Interesting...only because having been a runner since the mid-1970s I have never felt the need for thicker socks in winter. My feet just don’t get cold when I’m running...even if I’m running through snow in low 30s/high 20s°F temps. Just regular (relatively thin) socks and my shoes. But that’s just me. I know that every person has their own comfort levels. When it comes to wearing gloves...when the temps drop below 60°F I have to use at least a thin glove or my fingers get cold. Yet at colder temps...like in the 20s°F I’ll pass other runners who are bare-handed.
