For those of us looking for a stylish yet functional winter sock that stays safely out of too-tall territory, Castelli brings us the Incendio 12 Sock. A 12cm cuff height offers just under five inches of ankle coverage to pair comfortably with any cold weather kit.

Made from a soft blend of wool and insulated PrimaLoft fabrics, these socks present a clean profile to adeptly manage the chill. Under the forefoot, a terry cloth pad adds a touch more comfort and an extra layer of warmth without being so bulky that you have to take them into account when sizing shoes.
