Got a pair of wool socks that I wear with waders and my toes still froze. What do you guys use that's comfortable while wearing waders??

You gotta be able to wiggle your toes or you will freeze.

Get some liner socks. Put those on first, then the wool. They wick away sweat and keep your feet dry

Go buy several pairs of thin nylon dress socks, layer them 1 at a time until your boot just gets snug. Remove socks and figure out the total thickness, go shopping at a ski shop for these:

Drymax Socks

No more cold wet feet. Just make sure to get the correct thickness so the blood will flow and help keep your feet warm and dry!

They don't get wet, I have the liners. They get super cold. Mainly my toes.

Your feet sweat, and the sweat will chill your feet. You want to wick moisture away

I take it you were able to get out? I rock a light weight UA sock under and Heavy weight UA sock. wearing that and 800 grams in the breathable waders I felt like a million bucks.

Exactly, they may not feel wet, but they are. Either that or you have boots that are too snug or poor circulation.

I am sticking with wet socks, the boots don't allow it to perspire/evaporate, it just collects in the wool and then combined with a snug boot, cold toes.

Yeah, just winged it this morning. It was pretty slow and I'm pretty new so that probably didn't help lol.

I learned a trick years ago. It is a little tough to get your mind right and not be embarrassed but just try it one time. get you a feminine panty liner and use it like a shoe insert. You will not be sorry because your feet will be warm and dry all morning long.

^^^^ This plus get a wader dryer. Those boots wont dry out on inside and cause your feet to stay cold

buy bigger/warmer waders.

The warmest socks and liners in the world won't keep your feet warm in uninsulated waders. And even the warmest insulated waders won't keep your feet warm if you can't move your feet around.

How old are you? Any blood pressure problems? Could be a blood circulation problem.

27, It might just be when I'm sitting still. My wader boots have enough room to wiggle my toes around with the liner sock and thick cabelas sock.

Buy waders with more insulation in the boot. That's the only way to really solve it. The socks have to be right too. I've got a pair with 1200 gram thinsulate in them, and I don't think it is physically possible to get cold in them.

I do the nylon dress socks under heavy wool but still get the foot chill after I hunker down and keep still. Like others have said, a nicer pair of waders could be the solution. But after my long hikes, I welcome the bit of chill. After a couple sips of coffee and LST, I forget all about it.

I don't remember what thinsulate mine are. Gotta check the tag I guess. I know it won't be perfect and I'm slowly adding things to make it better while waiting for the sun. It's a work in progress. I will keep playing with different socks and also look into the boot warmer/dryer. Got my body and legs down. Anyone here wear glasses!? I have a mask and it fogs my glasses like crazy. I also hate fighting the mask to keep from turning.

Never used with waders, but use them for late season goose hunting up north with my insulated pack boots.

Twice as long as half its length, get some waders with more thinsulate...your in Texas.

Not sure exactly. Designed specifically for waders, I'd assume they're long enough? confused2
