What do you all use to keep warm feet in winter?

[NYRturkeycall]

So I'm finding that sock liners, thick wool socks and my 800 g boots don't do it anymore after this weekend. Used to be fine but with all day sits in the '20s, my feet were frozen by the time we got back to camp and the warmth of the house. 6:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.mn sits this weekend in 20s with some wind and little snow.

Thinking about buying 2000 g pull-ons from Cabela's or keeping my 800g boots and getting electric socks with my wool socks over them and using hand warmers at the toe box (I have enough room I think)

What are y'all's experience with extended cold winter hunting (0-20ish)  and keeping warm feet?

After about two hours in my Ladder Stand the only way to keep my feet warm is to get down and start still hunting , gotta get the blood moving !

Keys to me:

1. Loose and well insulated boots (currently wearing a cold weather set of Muck boots I've had for years)
2. Warm (Smartwool) heavy socks
3. Properly dressed to keep core warm so blood isn't drawn from extremities
4. Keep movings the toes to keep circulation going
5. If treestand hunting, try to have a footrest of something to keep your feet off the metal so cold doesn't radiate through the boot.  Some put carpet or the like on their platforms.

Beyond that, next step is a pack boot or boot blankets.

Get a pair of these and throw a hand warmer in them over the toes and you’ll be good. https://www.basspro.com/shop/en/arcticshield-insulating-boot-covers-for-men

I’ve got a pair of the Cabelas Comfort trac in 2000 grams thinsulate. Saturday & Sunday I wore a pair of Gold Toe over the calf tube socks which is all I usually wear.  Seeing what the temps were going to be I threw on a set of toe warmers on the socks. I never thought about my feet once.  Toasty warm.  I’d recommend them.

My toes are the first things to get cold.  2000 gram Cabela's pac boots wool socks and I still can't last maybe 2 hrs in 20° weather.  I've used toe warmers, but if I put them in first thing in the morning, my feet will be sweaty from them and the walk in.  If I wait a hr or so after I'm on stand, my feet get to cold removing boots to put the warmers in.

I had ThermaCELL heated insoles, which worked great, but only lasted 3 seasons.

Kamik which is made in the US. They advertise good to -130F, but I highly doubt that. I sat all day Saturday dark to dark, am on blood thinners, have had frostbite thanks to a broken down chairlift at Killington circa ‘78, and didn’t freeze my toes. Best piece of gear I’ve ever bought for all day stand hunting.

We'll found out my Weston heated socks didn't work opening day only one battery charges. Paid big money wife's calling company. Artic sports muck boots with light pair of socks and when they get cold put on wools or wigwams. Walking just regular socks and artic sports and go.

What model are those?

I solved my cold feet issue this year by purchasing a blind and a buddy heater. Wish I done this years ago lol

Those are tuff to move, and I've got 11 different ladder stands.  Plus the landowner won't allow them. Doesn't like the looks of them.

If I'm sitting for an extended period and the tires get cold, i usually just get up and move around if the woods are quiet. Otherwise I throw hand warmers under my feet. The same company makes one specifically to stick to the bottom of your sock.
