My son gets very cold feet and he uses something like boot covers but he takes his boots off in his stand and slips the covers on. They are more like a down filled half boot but pack up easily in his back pack. I’ll see if I can get a picture.

If u hunt out of ground blinds - they make a tall blind now - the big john blind or something like that - u could hav a seat in there - but just stand up more - could take shooting stix w u and adjust for standing or sitting

Ground blind may not b set up for u - but I hav converted lot of my stands to ground blinds (not the tall standing ones) - hav not tried the big john - think that was name - like 7 foot tall

I no I could find it by googling if interested

Just looked it up - it is the big Mike - 80 inches tall - 160 on eBay but u can find it cheaper than that

My bad - Big John was a song - not a ground blind 😀

I bought a set of neoprene heavy socks that I pull on over a pair or two of wool socks.
Wear inside a pair of muckboots and toes are good to go.

I had the same problem until I bought some Lacrosse 1600 Alphaburly boots. Those with SmartWool socks and my feet haven’t gotten cold all the way down to 15 degrees.

Ditch the Mucks and get a quality pair of Pac boots with removable liners.

Spray deodorant on feet. Thin liner sock with wool sock and have plenty of room in boots.Heated insoles by hot hands.

So I had the same problem, basically. Inherited not so great perfusion from my grandad. I bought snow deer heated socks, after a ton of reviewing. Lot of good companies out there, but they’re heated socks are the only ones that wrap completely around the toes and forefoot area. Most just heat the bottom of you foot, leaving the top and toes to get chilly. Same for the insoles. I can sit comfortably all day now. They’re about $80, so not bad at all. Can wash them, dry them, and they’re pretty comfortable.

If it's above 35 or so, I've quit wearing rubber/muck style boots. I think they were just making my feet sweat no matter what. I had the same issues as you. Now I just wear my uninsulated leather snake boots and my feet may get a touch cold a few hours in, but they don't freeze on me like they used to.

That’s interesting with the deodorant, makes sense.



I actually bought a pair of ActionHeat socks last night off Amazon. The AA powered ones until I decide if they work or not before spending 100+ for a pair of socks.

May be just me,but magnesium helps for me...

Buy you a pair of boot blankets, buy some chemical hand or toe warmers, wear whatever socks and boots that are comfortable or fit the situation. Open hand warmers when you get out of truck, climb stand, skip on boot blankets, put warmers inside blankets, either on top or near your toes,zip up. Problem solved, no cold feet


quote=WarTiger]I know it’s been discussed and I’ve looked through most all discussions on the topic. I can not keep my toes from freezing. If it’s below 45 my toes will be cold. I feel like I have looked at all culprits; sweat and circulation being the main ones.

This year I decided to not hold back and finally solve the issue. On like temperature mornings I have done the following. 1) 1 pair synthetic thin Under Armor socks and Darn Tough Heavyweight Hunter, lasted about an hour 40 degrees. 2) just Darn Tough Heavyweight socks lasted about an hour upper 30s. 3) changed socks at tree and put on fresh Darn Tough socks lasted maybe 2.5 hours in low 30, definitely seemed to help but I did this on a low 40s day and toes were freezing 45 mins in. 4) Been wearing Muck Boots for last 15 years so I decided to try a 1200g pair of lace up boots and changed socks at base of tree. Lasted about 30 mins this morning in the upper 30s.

I’m back to thinking it’s poor circulation but where? My boots a size big and my feet have plenty of room, I can can completely ball up my foot. I’m started to think it’s coming from sitting since I can stand up for 15-20 mins and they get feeling almost normal.

Any ideas or solutions? I have not tried changing boots and socks at the tree but I already haul more than I really want in with and don’t want to add boots the mix. Even though it doesn’t matter if I walk 50 ft or a mile to my stand my feet still get cold about the same. Also never had much luck with Hot Hand Toe Warmers [/quote]

I wear lacrosse Burleys, thin insulated boots. I wear 100% spandex socks next to my feet, then a thick pair of hunting socks on top of that when it’s cold.
That’s it.
