Fishinutt,

I've never tried the electric heated socks because I'm doubtful that they address the root cause of cold feet in fishing and wading conditions.

What are your "regular" socks? For me, the key to warm feet has been either a pair of polypro liner socks followed by a pair of wool socks, or for winter, two pair of heavy wool socks inside a bootfoot wader large enough to accomodate it all without compressing the socks. If your boots are too small to accomodate heavy socks, the only way to keep your feet warms is to keep walking briskly, and never stop.

The goal under winter fishing conditions is to keep your feet cool and dry - hence the liner sock - not warm and sweaty. If the sweat can't get away from your feet, it will condense and make them cold.

Good luck!

Sincerely,

Salmo g.
