How do you keep your feet warm in the stand/blind?

Do you wear those thick socks? Insulated boots? Or something else.

I wear smart wool socks, but it seems no matter what I do my toes are always numb.

Muck boots and ankle socks. Anything more and my feet sweat then freeze

One of the reasons I gave up deer hunting, cold feet...

Insulated boots are a must

I wear wool socks and lacrosse alpha burleys. An old timer told me to take a roll of toilet paper, remove the card board, and stuff it in a metal coffee can. Then soak it with rubbing alcohol and light it up. Just put the lid back on to snuff out the fire. Also, there's no smoke. So, if it's really cold and I'm hunting a box stand, I'll do that.

Wetlands Muck boots and regular socks. And I have a little propane heater in the stand.

Wiggling them helps.

Exactly what I do. I was coming here to post just this

Pretty good idea. I always wear insulated boots and some good long socks

Make sure you have well fitting boots
Make sure you have socks that don't keep your feet too warm
If your boots are tight your feet will be cold no matter what
Muck boots and normal heavy cotton socks are all I ever need.
My feet used to freeze until I figured all this out

How long does that warmth last from said fire?

I wear leather steel toes mostly with normal socks and never have an issue.

It lasted a good while the first time I tried it. Maybe three hunts; a morning, evening, and then another morning.
Only used it once. We were in South Texas and it was in the teens in the morning.

Just go buy you a mr heater $80. I can get away with tennis shoes and ankle socks with the heater going.

Grabber toe Warmers. I've hunted in 0-10 degrees and had no problems. Just stick them to the bottom of your socks and roll.
