Arctic shield boot covers with sticky toe warmers. Fold flat for packing, stick the warmers in the top of cover over toes, zip and cinch. Carry a few as the warmers last about 2 hrs. Extends the time I can sit by a TON.

Keep the lacrosse boots and go to Wallmark and get some sticky toe warmers with wool socks.Boot dryer helps also.

Who makes the best alpaca wool socks?  I use regular wool now, but they are getting worn out after several years.  Are the 70/30 alpaca/synthetic good enough?  I don't mind spending a lot for great quality...and warmth.

Thanks

The first and most important issue is to make sure your feet are DRY.  More specifically, make sure your INSULATION stays dry.  If you have sweaty feet it will be a real challange.  I have used antipersperant on my feet with marginal success but a buddy does one better.  He puts plastic bread bags on his feet BEFORE any socks therefore guaranteeing that his insulation will stay dry.  He swears by it and always does this if there is any chance his feet will sweat in cold weather.  

Secondly, if you don't want to use the plastic bags..........never, never use cotton socks in cold weather.  A light wicking polypro under sock and a good quality wool sock over it.  

Third, boots with as much insulation as you can handle and still hunt.

start off with dry feet, then a poly/lycra wicking sock, then a cotton sock, then toe warmers under the toe area - and if Really cold, also over the toe area.  do this and you'll never feel the cold (until 3 - 6 hours later when the chemical hot toez fizzles out  :)  ) ... yep, boots gotta be at least one size larger.
