I can't stand cold feet. Since it usually doesn't get that cold none of my boots are very well insulated. I had a cheap old pair of lined snow boots laying around from when I used to ski and took em to the ranch. Problem solved. Not worth a damn for hiking, but those mornings sitting in a blind are much better.

We bought one similiar to that at Lowe's. Run one out in our shop. Does an excellent job of keeping it warm.

Smart socks, I'll have to try those. My feet are the only thing I can't keep warm.

I'd rather be cold. No wait I'll quit hunting before I wrap up with that.

When sitting in a blind, we pull our boots off and slip on a pair of Ugg boots, not the fake ones but a real pair from Australia. My inlaws brought back a pair for everyone in the family a few years back. Absolutely awesome for comfort and warmth while sitting. Also we keep blankets in the blinds as well for wrapping up with if need be. Only problem with all of this is you get to dang comfortable and want to fall asleep!!!

Depends on exactly how cold we'er talking about.
*Below 50 degrees- Base layers and regular hunting clothes
*About 32 degrees- Base layers and heavy wieght thermal underwear and regular hunting clothes
*About 10 degrees- Base layer, heavy wieght thermal underwear and bibs. I also won't sit in a tree when it gets this cold, I use a ground blind.
*When it gets down to 0 or colder, I bring a Mr Heater out for the ground blind

I dress in loose layers, usually a top and bottom polypro then a wind proof fleece top. In colder temps, below freezing, I wear the base plus a set of wool outers. I have a less expensive set of Columbia wool pants and jacket, and a more pricey set of the Sleeping Indian wool. With just the loose base and wool, I stay nice and warm. As far as feet goes, I have a set of boot blankets that I slip over my boots and then put a body warmer in them and keeps my feet nice and toasty, never had an issue even the years I hunted in Canada. Fleece beanie and gloves with hand muff with hand warmers in them. I also have a Mr Heater that works great for longer sits in the blind.

Look for a deal on a golf cart heater. They work great, no glow from the window during low light periods. Don't buy the base for them, get one for a propane lantern since it just fits the propane bottle in it.
For bow stands and cold feet the little thermal packs work pretty well.

If you want some friendly advice, get a haircut and take a bath. You wouldn't get hassled so much.
