I hate big clunky boots and I hate sweaty feet. I wear and uninsulated boot down to freezing temps. If you wear sock liners and thick wool socks your feet should be fine if you keep them dry. Keep some adhesive toe warmers in your pack if you need them. For colder temps while sitting on stand the Arctic Sheild boot blankets are the way to go. Cotton socks, even the thick ones, will not come close to the warmth of wool.I have to prove it to myself every year.
