I bought some EDZ merino wool socks last year based on a recommendation posted on here and they are without doubt the best an longest lasting socks I've had by some margin. Highly recommended...!

im assuming this question is aimed at mainly static fishing
ive tried various combinations over the years, and have multiple pairs of socks in various thickness (Skeetex, Brasher, Merino wool, Coolmax etc) and boots (Baffin Trappers, Skee-Tex, Sundridge Hot Foot, Muck Boots, Snow Boots, Hiking Boots and the list goes on
)
Best advice I can give is thin breathable socks (have spares and changed regularly) and good quality insulated boots. Boots must be big enough to give lots of wiggle room and chuck a pair of heated foot warmers in and you will be good to go

If you keep your legs really warm it will really help your feet. I suffer from cold feet all year round but I brought some Deer Hunter Muflon salopettes two years ago and found them be so warm that I didn't seem to get really cold feet. After long static hours I would start to feel the chill but nowhere near as quickly as before.

Totally agree mate. Keep the legs warm and they feed the feet warm blood. Tried loads of boots/socks and thermal salopettes made a much bigger difference

. . .changing socks is def the trick . . .no matter how technically warm, once damp they get wet, once wet they get cold.

I hate the feel wearing them at night, plus you can dry them at night. If you've got a half decent bag (and no circulation problems), you wont get cold feet anyway.

Many years ago. I bought some wool "fishing socks" from Aldi's in one of their special sales. I could not believe how good they was in Winter and how warm they were and every time they had them on sale, I would buy some more. Several years later, I have not worn any of them out so I have a draw full of unopened packets of socks. But, it seems to be rare now that they do have them on sale. I will even just sit in the bivvy, mid Winter with them on and in my crocs.
Previous to that, and still use today, I have always used the Army issue ECW socks, white wool with a red stripe since I was first issued them in the early 80's and they keep my feet warm throughout Winter.
