i just got home from walmart and got two pair of wicking liner socks, a medium pair and a heavy pair of merino wool socks , one was 75 percent wool the other 85 percent wool,  got all four for 21 dollars

Don't know what kind of "Stand" you are refering to, if you are using a tree stand or a ladder satnd with open mesh floor, try putting a carpet sample down, if will keep your feet warmer than on the exposed metal.
I hunt from a ground blind, and I use a piece of carpet to put my feet on.
They stay warm longer, and warmer all together.

I wear a thin pair of socks out to stand,then when I get there I change into a dry thin pair and put heavy wool socks on over. keeps me warm for hours and hours.

Smart wool socks with a sock liner. Put the adhesive feet warmers on the liner and then slip your smart wool socks on over that.

Been doing it for years and my feet never get cold and i hunted in 12 degree weather this past weekend.

These are the best socks I have ever worn. Merino wool!

Agree on the Smart wool, w/ a liner.

High content wool is the way to go, smartwool, filson, fox river, some others out there too High wool content is the way to go!!

Gander Mountain usually has a variety of WigWam wool socks. I have found the plain non hi tec and regular wool to keep my feet dryer and warmer that the merino and blend versions. But get the merino if wool makes you itch.

Clearly the concensus is to wear good wool socks, and I agree.  One trick that really helps me is to use a good antiperspirant on the soles and toes of my feet.  If your feet sweat and your socks and boot liners get damp, your feet will be cold.

Darn Tough "full-cushion" merino wool boot socks. They also make them in "cushion" which is just the bottom of the sock. Full cushion is bottom and top.

I like Smartwool but the Darn Tough really fit well  if you wear Muck-type boots. I do use a liner when it's cold

Darn Tough are made in Vermont.

I second the Darn Tough merino wool socks!  I suffer from cold feet or poor circulation when sitting on stand for long periods of time even when relatively mild conditions.  I use the full cushion Darn Tough socks and sometimes use a ultra light sock liner to keep the moisture off the feet and they stay warm!  Best socks for the money.  A pair of Darn Tough will run around $15 if you search on the internet.  My local dealer sells them for $22 a pair (ouch), so check the internet!

for heavy pack boots and all day sitting i like the cabelas wool boot sox, they are merino wool and very thick. and i found them to be very durable as well.

I wear wool socks everyday. whether work or play. I love    RedHead Lifetime hunting socks . Only 9.99 at my local BPS and wear it out and get a new pair.

They don't wear out easy as I have been wearing the same pair (washed nightly) all year almost everyday and they have not even started to thin like less expensive socks. The best part is that they are 88% merino lamb's wool. Not too hot in the summer, even when wearing my black steal toe work boots and not too cold (if I make sure not to let my feet sweat).
