[QUOTE="BrownArmy, post: 1083667, member: 18225"] Ditto for the two pairs of socks and for the foot powder - cold is one thing, but with heavy boots and two pairs of socks you sweat and then it's all downhill (gold bond makes a nice powder that comes in a white container - not the tingly stuff). It's all about keeping the feet dry - your husband can also stuff old newspaper in his boots when he's off-duty - it will keep the inside of the boots dry (and extend the life of the boots!). I haven't had great luck with cold-weather socks that you can find at stores that sell hiking/skiing gear, but l only experimented a bit - turns out you can spend $50 on a pair of socks. Maybe someone else can chime in about some sort of 'wonder-sock'. I find that layering socks works fine for me. Also, it might sound dumb but make sure your husband is drinking enough water. You don't think of it in the winter, but being hydrated is essential for the bodies' ability to regulate temperature. You could put cayenne in the boots, but you could also add some ginger root and cayenne to the diet, it doesn't take much if you do it daily and it seems to help. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
