When I start winter fishing, I actually switch to a different boot so that I
have extra room for a thick pair of socks.
What Dave said about having loose fitting shoes is right, additionally,
when the boots are too tight, it cuts waaaay down on your circulation.

No matter what I do my fingers will get cold and numb. So I have a pair
of wool insulated gloves that I keep inside the chest of my waders. That way
when I take a break, I can put on pre-warmed gloves...comfy.

Also, those little hand warmer packets (four for a dollar in places) fit
nicely in the palms of my fingerless gloves. Works pretty good.

i took advantage of this warm and sunny day to hit my favorite stream for
an hour before embarking on intense studying for final exams. since it
was
such a nice day, getting cold was no issue, however,the last couple of
week-ends my feet got pretty cold in the water and i know this is just a
hint of what's to come. i have a pair of neoprene waders, so my body
stays
plenty warm, but my hands and feet are another issue. i have been
scouting
the catalogues, but thought i'd ask what ya'll like in the way of warm
socks, and appropriate gloves for winter fishin.

thanks-
