I wore 2 pair of the darn tough over the calf hunting socks all season. Feet were ice cold everytime. Anything I should look at before next season? I used to not care but I now loathe having cold feet.

Some of the ones I'm looking at:

Kuiu

First Lite

Wetsox

What is the boot situation on your waders?

If insulated you’re probably wearing too thick a sock

Don't have a clue how they would work in waders, but the foot warmer pads work great in ski boots - they are made to work in low oxygen environments. You might check into them...

But too many socks can impede the blood circulation in your feet, causing them to be cold - like trying to fit a size 10 foot in a size 9 shoe.

I use polypropylene liner socks with merino wool over them . Never had a problem . 30 years and still have all my toes .

Get waders with heavy insulated boots, wear moisture wicking liner socks and thick wool socks (I like Smartwool).
