[QUOTE="Ring Sport, post: 1436172, member: 55172"] Here is my opinion on socks and boots. I have 3 or 4 pairs of boots that I wear in the winter time, depending on weather conditions and depth of snow. I will generally go to a store like Bass Pro Shop or Cabelas and pickup my winter boots. Have found that they have variety as well as different grades of insulation. There are some in the above links that I wouldn't suggest getting as they go against uniform requirements. Camo for example. I prefer a 6 inch boot, but when the snow is deep forget it. Prefer something that will keep the snow from getting down my boot and protects my leg from a wet pant leg. Sometimes I will wear gators as well. But it seems some of those that are sticklers on the uniform and have no clue about practicality and comfort frown on that if they see them. As far as socks, everybody's foot is going to perspire differently. So these suggestions may be trial and error. I know what works for me and never have cold wet feet. A good quality sock is key. I prefer these socks over any that I have ever tried. Wearing a sock liner will help as well. A sock liner can be purchased at any outdoor retail store. Some may squeal about the price of the socks and liners, but IMO being on my feet all day and staying comfortable is worth the price. And if your boots are Gore-tex, do your self a favor and don't polish them with that Kiwi shoe polish. It will plug the pores and you will lose all the benefits of the gore-tex. I prefer this product, and it is safe for use on Gore-tex. Before applying I will use a small scrub brush and a shoe cleaner and scrub the dirt and debris off the boot. Then pat the boots dry with a paper towel and apply the Obenaufs. To the OP (best boots and socks. This thread was combined) look into getting a sock liner and see how that works for you. Or try a pair of the socks that I recommended. Or both. Hope someone finds the above information helpful. [/QUOTE]
