A woman wearing thick socks in prayer

Question

Is it obligatory for a woman to wear thick socks to cover her feet during prayer?

Answer

A woman is not required to wear socks during prayer, unless there is a concern that a non‑mahram (person whom one is permitted to marry under Islamic law) may see her, due to the risk of temptation.

And Allah Almighty knows best.
