Oh, I can find warm socks, problem is they don't last, before the sole wears

You can still find plenty of warm socks that are made the same way,
they just cost 20x more than the ones that don't. It's usually more
cost effective to buy 20 pairs of socks over time than to buy just one
at a high initial cost, it ends up costing the same but you get to
spread the price out over time.
