tim---depends on how far you are walking in to your stand/stands. If you are walking a short way, you can wear warmer socks. If you have a long walk...wear a lightweight pair of socks, then change your socks when you get about 100 yards from your stand to wool or whatever you want...or even change them on stand. Just take the old socks and place them in a plastic bag. It really depends on how hot your feet get and how far you have to walk...and what time of the year you are hunting.
