They ain't a hunting sock if your not hunting in them. They are lounging socks.
When it's really cold I found that a thin silk sock next to your skin with a quality wool sock over it and a waterproof boot is hard to beat. The silk wicks moisture away and reflect heat back to your foot. The wool is a great insulator. And if it is really really cold a charcoal type (toastie toes) heater between the 2 socks under the toes can't be beat.
