Hunting Forum

So while I was on the TC site I poked around a bit.  I've had issues with cold feet for 50 years so I noticed the foot warmers. I read the description and it sounded good.... UNTIL I looked at how much...   A hundred and thirty freekin' dollars?!?  I don't think so Tim....

I guess there are a lot of people out there with money to burn.  

I'm with you, Steve. I was real interested in them until the price came.
I can buy a lot of wool socks for $130.00.

Try silk socks or the old buckhunters secret nylon stockings as you initial layer. IMHO cold feet are caused by dampness. After every hunt I put my boots on a boot dryer. Then In the AM I put on fresh silk socks a pair of regular weight wool socks then my heavy wool socks.

I was always plagued with cold feet. I could keep the rest of me somewhat comfortable, but my feet would freeze no matter what I tried. Back in the early 90s I started wearing my wool hiking socks with a polypropylene liner sock with my hunting boots and haven't had any more problems with cold feet. Or maybe it's just due to reduced blood flow to my feet as I get older, or the nerves in my feet finally gave up trying to tell me they were cold.

I tried the nylon trick and for me it didn't do a thing. I also agree with the boot dryers. I dry mine every night. I have 110 driers and propane both.

But the only thing I've found that works for me is a thin sock liner, wool socks and my Sorel pac boots. With that set up, my feet have never been cold. The boots are rather bulky and a bit weighty but my feet stay warm.

I wear a size 9 shoe I buy size 13 hunting boots. IMO this does two things gives you room to layer and not have such a tight fit it reduces circulation. It also allows some air flow to remove moisture buildup

If your feet are starting to get cold march in place this will increase blood flow to your legs and feet and warm them. Another thing you can do when hunting in snow take an old piece of carpet to stand on I learned that trick from an old ice fisherman it insulates your feet from snow/ice.

The air activated toe warmers work. The same as the hand warmers, only they are cut to the shape of a boot toe and have a adhesive that sticker it to your sock. They only cost a few bucks and make cold weather stands more comfortable.
