Default Warm Feet Suggestions needed

It seems like no matter what I do, my feet always freeze when I'm hunting. What do you guys do as far as layering socks, etc? If you can give me the specific names of brands you use, that would be great. Thanks in advance.

I am one of the lucky one's as I dont really have a problem aith cold feet at all???

The only suggestions I can give is wear liners! I have a couple pair of thin liner socks that the GF makes fun of me and says they look like her pantyhose..haha! I just know getting something between your body and cotton is the best thing to do! Liners and one or two more layers.... dont over do it because you dont wanna cut ANY circulation off to your feet, so therfore dont tighten your boots up TIGHT either!!

Atleasst thats what I have always been told!!! Hope it helps! It must do something because like I said I dotn have much of a cold feet problem!!

The deodorant thread reminded me.... liberally cover your feet with anti-perspirant. If your feet don't sweat, they won't freeze.

I use wick socks and then a pair of wool socks on the outside with thinsulate boots. I had frostbite on both feet as a child and since I started doing this, not once have my feet gotten cold. Good Luck.
