I don't have them anymore but when I was trapping and ice fishing lots I wore good fleece lined moose hide mukluks. I never had the qiviut socks, only wool socks. Never got cold feet.

Get a pair of *qiviut socks and good fleece lined moose hide mukluks. Get a pair of low rubber boots for over the mukluks. You'll never get cold feet. (Even buffalo wool socks are warmer than sheep wool.)

*Qiviut is the soft under wool from muskox. 8 times warmer than wool. Not cheap. About 250 to 300 a pair.
