I use battery heated socks with polar tech liners over them, all I gotta say is warm, warm!!
There are many good moccasin tracks along the trail of a straight arrow: ( fox )

The BassPro Lifetime Wool socks are topnotch.

Smart Wool for me in MI's northern winters. A pair of silk liners underneath is the key, even with the wool socks.

Well I went to the store and they did not have SmartWool so I bought a pair of Work n' Sport Outdoor Socks.  They are made of 71% Merino Wool, 21% Nylon, 7% polyester, 1% Spandex  Will these work?  They are not really heavy.  I can take them back, but I grabbed them because I was there.

I have several pairs in several thicknesses for the different boots I may wear during the season. Some were expensive some were BP/walmart specials. Anything with 70 plus of wool and no cotton seem to work fine.
Bowhunting is "KILL and EAT" not "Catch and Release".....Semper Fi!

I'm partial to Carhardt and Wigwam.   :saywhat:

been real happy with smartwool. I might take a look at those icelandic socks northwoods recommends. I read that Romny and Icelandic sheeps wool are the best wools available.

Smartwool and Thorlo work great for me.

Smartwool is the way to go. I've got five pairs and have had them for a few years. I hiked the Grand Canyon with them twice and they're still just like new.

Fox River and Bridgedale.  I only wear wool socks,  even in the summer.  I don't even own cotton socks.  I have had one pair of Bridgedales for 7 years.  Smartwools are great as well and I have some but they don't outlast the first two I mentioned.
It's not the arrival, it's the journey.

smartwools are the bomb!!! But at half the price I buy Rocky wool hikers at the local big box mart and it works for my area!!! 85% or so Merino wool... 95% of the performance at a much lower price...
Expect the best. Prepare for the worst. Capitalize on what comes.
