Layers are good but dont go to tight, if you go to tight it slows circulation which make for cold feet __________________ "Ducks Before Dishonor" Shoot'em in the lips

i took my liners out of my pac boots. uts like a kid wearing his fathers boots. 3 pairs of socks and foot and toe warmers in between layers 2 and 3. my feet never got cold. you just can't walk in over size boots. so if you need to walk carry a second pair of boots and extra pairs of socks. definitly worth the extra weight. the extra room in your boots allow enough air so the foot warmer don't sufficate. i hunted in snow and sub 20 degree temps and my feet were warm __________________ someday they'll name a bow after me

| Wool over a wicking layer of silk or polypropylene socks. Its also very important to wear boots that are not tight but slightly oversized. | ||

"NO" cotton next to the skin! (socks, leggings & shirts) Synthetic/polyester type blend, thin & moisture wicking, Not to tight, Next layer would be good quality wool blend, then your boots, thinsulate insulated and a size larger than what you would normally wear. __________________ "If you obey ALL the rules...... you'll miss ALL the fun"

Do your feet sweat? and if so is that why they get cold?And or are your boots too tight? I use dry max socks with 8oo gram boots and my feet now stay warm

| I hate spending the money on them, but under armor socks really help stop my feet from sweating, which equals warm feet | ||

I wear ankle socks. I just need alittle space in my boot and my feet are ok. When my toes are cramped in my boots they freeze.. On a super cold day I put hand warmers in my boot blankets I take my feet out of my boot and put them in the boot blankets with the hand warmers in them.. ahhhh warm as pie __________________ I just want to Hunt...

All good points. Also make sure the insides of your boots are dried out before using them again; otherwise, your feet are probably going to be cold....I read somewhere that water conducts heat 223 times greater than air or some absurd number. __________________ "The liver is evil... it must be punished"

a doctor from Maine recommended putting anti perspirant on your feet to keep them from freezing...he recommended this to keep from getting frost bite, so i would guess it would help to keep your feet warmer in general... __________________ 2 Blade Rage Broadheads
