I have always used a pair of cotton socks with a pair of wool over them. But I'm going to get some liner "wicking" socks to replace the cotton this year.
what is a good wicking sock
I used polypro wicking socks, very cheap,2 bucks at Wally world. just make sure to never put them in the dryer. I've switchd to the cold gear socks since, but the polys work great.
the under armour cold gear
Yeah- funny how much Cold Gear keeps showing up on the forum this year! If you can afford it, the stuff is the best!
I just wear regular cotton socks under my La Crosse Ice Kings.I quit smoking about five years ago, before that I fought with cold hands and feet constantly. I don't know if there is a connection, but there is definitely a HUGE difference! I never get cold feet anymore.
the sweats just stays all day and with my constant walking i get that pruning effect and then the skin rips, and that is long term pain, the freezing goes away 10 minutes after your in the car, sore, ripped, blistered feet
smoking cause bad circulation of the blood, bad circulation prevents the blood flowing easily through the far extremities, and the blood exchange also brings heat, you may have also noticed a constant tingly sensation in your toes and fingertips as well, at least i do
