I have battled the 'cold feet syndrome' for quite some time now and I think that I have finally figured out a solution. The testing ground was a COLD day of deer hunting in Kansas this past weekwith a steady 15-20 mph north wind (mostly in my face) that lasted all day. The high temperature was a balmy25. It was so cold that my bottled water froze from the steady wind while in the stand by noon...[8D]. No deer this day, but I am a better man for it.

1) Apply anti-perspirant (scent-a-way)to my feet. Got this tip from field and stream...

2) Cabela's thermax liner sock.
3) Cabela's outfitter series wool sock (heavy weight).
4) 1200 gram thinsulate hunting boot.
5) Arctic shield boot insulators as soon as I got to the stand.

About 3.5 hours, feet got cold. Put a 'handwarmer' on top of my boot laces in the boot insulator and it helped a little. Then I put the handwarmer inside my boot between the insole and sock. My feet warmed up almost immediately, and I was able to stay in the stand for the rest of the day without any problems. Feet were still tingling, however, NO PAIN! I am going to get some pac boots with more insulation and will see how that changes the equation.Hope this helps. Please feel free to add your suggestions. Thanks in advance.
