Richard,

I use the old double sock system.  I use a poly pro inner, and then depending on the boots I'm wearing I will go anywhere from dress socks to heavy wool over.  I have found that poly pro and wool combo will get me through anything the rest of my body can stand.

+1 Poly pro inner and heavy wool..

This may sound really strange, but it works.


I learned this from a "old school" iron worker.

Wear either pantie hoes or spandex as the 1st layer.

Its not the most manly thing in the world, but when your working out side in temps well bellow zero, several hundred feet in the air in a harness... you won't care, you're warm.

It's about "moisture wicking" spandex, silk ect...help to keep dry and with a good heavy wool sock your good to go!


NO COTTON!!!

Learned the same thing from an iron-worker also, back in my millwright days.

He said he wore a pair of knee-high's under his wool socks and his feet always stayed warm.

I've done it and it works.

It doesn't get super cold down here, but when I was younger and stayed in the woods all the time, I had a pair of BDU's that I bought a size larger than normal to wear on the really cold days. Underneath them I wore a layer of regular old jogging sweatpants. They fit looser than 'standard' thermal underwear and were better at keeping me warm. Of course that was back before the Under Armor craze.
