We have a “sock system” issued. There is a thin, synthetic liner (think something like a calf-length dress sock). Then, depending on temp, there are a thinner and thicker wool sock. The thicker ones are ridiculously warm. Heard stories of the guys in the high Arctic wearing all 3 layers, I’ve never had to. The liners pull moisture away from the feet and out to the sock, acting as a barrier. Makes a huge difference. Even a legit dress sock under whatever wool socks makes a world of difference. You can discuss socks....the rest of these posers would be fine with some hanes tubers and the sorels their mom bought them 40 years ago 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are talking socks here. 😆 Just stirring schit with a reality stick. Lol. 😂 Feel free to call me one of the guys here who actually owns a sled and is actively riding.

low-1 Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 That right there will keep your feet warm on a walk to either of the poles. Steger mukluks with -100 Baffin Impact liners, and a cut piece of closed cell foam inside for a footpad. When I’m on the sled and moving fast enough wind is an issue, or if there’s any chance of water (like ice fishing), I have a set of NEOS Navigator 5 insulated overboots, with the same liners and foam footpads as a second set. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yuh, I'll take the time to make sure I got the goods. Mine we hand made by my friend's mother. was 12 below or so this morning. My sock and boot selection were spot on- Adidas basketball socks (not cotton) with 600g klim boots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
