Alright Folks-
On to a less offensive topic. Since ya'll are outdoors kind of people,

I
figured you could help me on this one.
My feet stay cold all winter long. I can wear two pair of socks with

boots,
and still have cold feet. Any good socks out there that will keep my

feet
warm. I know ya'll know who the good outfitters are.
Any info is appreciated.
Thanks-
Snakefiddler-


Here's a piece of advice from someone living not that far from the Arctic
circle.
Socks of 100% wool will keep you dry transporting any moist away from your
skin and as such keep you warm.
When it comes to boots on the other hand, there's a number of different
opinions, and I can only tell you what works for me.
Try to get yourself a pair of boots that breathe AND try not to get too
small ones. It is also essential that the soles are of at least three
different insulating layers, this since most of the cold that affect your
feet comes from the ground rather than the surrounding old air.
I've been following these advices myself and even whilst bird hunting at
close to -35 degrees Celcius I have managed too keep my feet warm.

Should have read cold air, not old air.
