socks

When it comes to keeping your feet warm the most important thing is to keep them dry. Most people think the more socks they pile on the better chance the will stay warm. One problem is if they are not the correct type of socks they will retain moisture and keep your feet cold. Another problem is it makes your boots fit tighter which does not allow proper blood circulation to warm your feet. I recommend the Simms socks. They make a liner sock which is designed be the first layer and will wick away moisture. Then put their wool blend sock over which is also designed to wick but will provide the insulation needed to keep your feet warm. You should not need any more than these two socks. Remember cotton is the worst thing you can use as a base layer when trying to stay warm, as it will hold moisture. I have gone many cold seasons trying to figure out how to keep my feet warm and I hope to help others from my findings. Also, the same applies for thermal underwear. Most of the standard products are a cotton blend. I have found that if you spend a little more money on the higher end thermal underwear that are made from synthetics you will not regret it.
