What’s everyone using in the sock department for cold weather sits on the stand. I’ve tried all kinds of boots and socks but haven’t had much success. After an hour or so my toes are froze and numb.

the answers are above. boots a little loose, as much insulation as you can get, thick wool socks, toe warmers or a quality electric sock like the lenz. Dry boots are also key so if you hunting multiple sits a boot drier helps.

Wearing super insulated boots just made the problem worse for me.
You can not let your feet get sweaty if you want to keep them warm.
I do better wearing mid insulated boots and good socks .
When I get to the stand I put a pair of icebreaker boot blankets over top my boots , and my feet stay toasty.
I think you could wear them over tennis shoes and be warm.

OK Buy a couple of pairs of these... then, put Smartwool socks over them. I use this set up in Winter to keep warm and in Summer to not sweat. Thank me later... Seriously!!!!! Best money you will spend lately. I'll make you a deal... if they don't work as advertised, I'll pay for them.

No matter what kind of boots and socks one is wearing they must be allowed to dry out every day after the hunt. Also a very good idea to change out liners or insoles daily.

In my tote there is extra jacket, pants and several socks. Got enough spare stuff in case rain comes then stops or I fail a creek crossing.

Depends on how cold. Im good down to 20 in a pair of Muck boots with wool felts, wearing sock liners, and good wool socks. The toe/foot warmers work well also.

I’m in Louisiana and we will see temps below 20 from time to time, more often we stay around the 30’s when the cold sets in. I hunt a lot of swamp area so I have to get there in rubber boots. I’ve tried the think sock then wool sock and feet would still get cold. I have not tried the artic shield boot covers with the hand/toe warmers, sounds like it could work. Battery socks or heated insoles I have not tried. I hunt lock ons or open ladder stands so I’m pretty exposed and space is limited to have another set of something there to change into. I may have to give the battery socks a try. Lots of good feedback on this post, thanks guys!

One bit of advice passed on to me years ago that helps to stay longer on a deer stand is first prevent working up a sweat before even getting in stand. Wear lighter weight uninsulated shoes, socks and clothing and carry your insulated stuff and chemical/battery warmers until you get to your stand location, put it on there and then get in stand.

I bought over boot insulators for standing last season, but I did not try them out yet. If it is crazy cold, I'll drop a hand warmer in there.
Something like the link, but I forget what brand I bought. I got the recommendation here on the forum.

If your boots feel tight they will get cold fast. Have room to wiggle your toes around.
