Balega Second skin ultralight no show Running Socks
Choose your socks carefully. Paying for quality socks in winter is hugely important with the need to retain heat while also being able release heat and reduce on retained sweat.

I have owned a number of pairs of these and from the first run in them you can feel the benefit that you get from it and protection for your feet.
