I have found the trick to keeping my feet warm is to keep my head, neck, and core warm. When your body starts to get cold it goes into survival mode and restricts blood flow to the extremities like hands and feet. It does this so that it has plenty of warm blood to send to the brain and vital organs.
A cheap wool scarf from goodwill around your neck and tucked in your jacket works wonders, and keep you head covered in a toboggan. Just those two things alone will ward off a lot of cold feet issues. Besides insulating the neck the scarf keeps warm air in your core layers. Every time you move warm air is pushed out the opening of your garments through openings. The biggest is usually the neck area. This warm air is then replaced with ambient air that your body must warm. Insulating a house doesn't do any good if you leave the door wide open.
I use a neck gator, fleeceBorehead and I were just discussing this same thing today.... Invest in a good wool scarf.... It’s on my too do list lol
Keep an eye out at goodwill. The best base layer i wear is a 50% cashmere 50% brushed wool sweater that i paid 3 bucks for. Gray and complete with pinstripes lol. Deer don't care if your under layers aren't camo. .Borehead and I were just discussing this same thing today.... Invest in a good wool scarf.... It’s on my too do list lol
I've done all the tricks. Neck covered. Head covered. Core wrapped like a mummy. Change socks and the base of the tree and walk in with boots (Muck) rolled down so my feet can breathe. I just have pussy feet!
Same here. My entire body can be covered and warm, yet my feet, particularly toes and bottom of feet, will get cold as a mofo. It's bareable... I mean, it obviously doesn't stop me from hunting, but it's just flat out annoying. It's weird for me because I typically have really good circulation. Most times I duck hunt in frigid conditions I don't even bother with gloves... Even when pulling decoys. My hands are built Ford tough but my feet are soft like GMC (gay man's Chevy).

I'll be trying that this year!The arctic shield boot warmers do work. In the really cold single digit season stuff some hand warmer packs in there on top of the boot. Toasty
