I bought some Merino Wool Socks from Camofire and they work pretty good.

A buddy of mine that hunts in Ohio puts plastic bags on his feet before his socks and says it works good, never tried it myself.

Wigwam or Smartwool have never disappointed me.

Yeah, there was a thread about this a little over a month ago. I'm using some socks (Rocky and Mossy Oak) with 38% merino wool in them, but I may try a pair of Smart Wook socks with 79% merino wool. I saw those at Academy and they were around $20.

Just saw this in my email...hmmm....might have to try these.

Merino wool... The higher the percentage the better. I picked mine up off eBay I'm thinking in the 75-85% range for cheap. (just buy in the summer when no one else is buying socks)

As far as keeping your feet warm, sweat is your enemy. Your feet get wet with sweat while you walk, once you stop your feet are wet and now cold. I use the scent killer underarm antiperspirant on my toes and feet, just rub it on your feet then use your hand to rub it I between your toes and your feet. At first it's strange, but after your feet are warm all day you will do it again and again.

Next thing to keep your feet warm is Boots. Buy them .5-1 size too big... Tight boots don't help you at all, they need to have room for your big sox, and still let your toes move about. I have tried the 200-500 buck boots trying to keep my fet warm. This year I decide to just go with my rubber water proof duck hunting boots. They are 1 size to big, un insulated, and are 100% water proof. My feet have never been warmer.... They cost 25 bucks at academy.

Good luck!

In what I call really cold hunting weather in Texas (20's) and lower, I wear a pair of 5oz merino wool socks that my wife knitted for me....5oz is HEAVY for socks . She made them and a merino wool beanie for me on my birthday last year. Very, very warm indeed

Darn Tough brand merino wool socks are the best I've ever had. They have a lifetime warranty as well, so if they wear out you get new socks.

As said, merino wool. I like Smartwool. They seem to hold up better than most.
