Foot warmers can help, but it's also critical that your boots are not too tight! You need a little air space. If your socks make your boots too snug, you'll be colder, rather than warmer.

Carhartt boot socks. They make several different versions, you can find them at Farm and Fleet type shops. You are looking for mostly wool ones (80% wool). Amazing stuff.

I have spent many winters iceboating, and the best method I have found is neoprene socks. My wife wore them with a thin liner, I wore them without. Feet first, into the wind at 30 knots and my feet stayed toasty warm.

And keep in mind that what works well for one person will still allow another's feet to get cold just because we all have different blood circulation levels in our hands and feet. Diabetics are particularly prone to poor circulation. I have been snowmobiling for 40 years and if it is going to get really cold I go with a pair of thin polypropylene socks under medium wool socks under my Sorel Caribou boots. My feet sweat easily so I may try Bruce's anti-perspirant trick. Farther up I first layer with Under Armor Cold Gear polyester long johns, followed by flannel lined jeans and a flannel shirt with a layer of fleece just under my two piece snowmobile suit.

Wool socks usually do it for me.

So, what game are you going to?

Lifted from Mike Holden, above - "the best method I have found is neoprene socks."

I wear the original Bogs boots, which are completely lined with Neoprene.
Same pair, six years now - no leaks, no odor, no sweat.

They're wind resistant and essentially water proof.

Here's a trick for people who get really cold hands and feet -
apply antiperspirant to the palms of the hands and soles of the feet before gloves and socks.

San Diego and Cincinnati.

Nah. It's only 60hz refresh rate.

[Brian Ashton]

Stay hydrated and avoid alcohol.

I was with you all the way till you said…

For Christmas my wife got a pillow that has cutouts for your feet with elastic necks sticking out of them to wrap your ankles. This would be perfect : ) She got it as a joke gift but they would be toasty.

Back from the game and stayed warm and dry for the most part. It didn't really start to rain until the fourth quarter and the temperature stayed near forty degrees most of the game. Lots of folks to block the wind, so that didn't seem bad either. Wore two sets of socks, gloves, boots, regular clothes and insulated coveralls, a coat, hat, ear muffs, and had a poncho.

[John Shuk]

Don't wear cotton socks, wear insulated boots and DO NOT put theater on your feet before hand. If they sweat they will get cold. Many years of working outdoors have taught me well. Staying warm is just like anything else. Preparation and best practices pay dividends.

Another sock option is Alpaca socks. 7 to 10 times warmer than wool, and wick the sweat better because Alpaca don't produce lanolin in the wool.
