How to keep feet warm in waders

[sparkey+1]

Hi Lads

I know it might sound like a strange one but I have that problem... Take 3 changes of socks with me. 1 for when i get to the mark Then with the Thermals on put on thermal socks. At the end of our fishing session change over to dry sock to drive me and the lads home.... any ideas lads please was thinking of cotton socks inside te thermal socks. Herself went out and got me some memory insoles for the waders but they had a memory of a GOLDFISH

Any ideas WARMLY welcomed

a good pair of thick football socks or a ticker pair of termals scocks tog 4 or 5 should be ok or failing that do what bren does buy some of the disposable hand warmers from the camping stores and when you put the waders on crack the warmers and drop them down on top of your feet b4 closing the waders

If your wearing the rubber waders they arent goin to much to hold the heat but neoprenes and thermal socks should do the business . If your constantly in the water this will obviously freeze the beejaysus outa ya . Man up lol

use what I use white socks next to your skin then black or dark socks over them

Cold feet is a part of fishing this time of year two or three pairs of socks should keep them warm that's all you can do really.

newspaper in the soles does the trick

Stand on old bit of carpet at home draw around your feet cut to size place in wellys or waders, its like standing in your living room .

Wrap your feet in cling film a cert to keep your feet warm.

cotton socks, then thermals or nylon socks afterwards, works for me, but then, im hardy

i always have the same problem go to a camping shop an pick up a decent pair of thermo socks or thermo wellies waders are a night mare at times when fishing especially f walking a distance

Get a pair of neoprene socks - the job!

[roooster]

get yourself a pair of seal-skin socks,there expensive,about 35 euro...but the best

drink ten pints of the black stuff on the beach then wee on your boots every 10 minuts

Im finding wearing 2 pairs of thick wooly hiking socks does the trick for me.... also, making sure to walk about a bit helps,

most of the cold you feel comes up through the sole of your waders so the carpet will stop it,as your feet perspire they will get damp and feel cold ,ski socks will take the persperation away from your feet and keep them a bit warmer than layering several pairs ,its a problem that gets worse as you get older as your circulation isnt as good ,ya poor ould thing!

.......as your feet perspire they will get damp and feel cold .........its a problem that gets worse as you get older as your circulation isnt as good ...............

Unfortunately I can confirm that is true !
Put plenty of talc on your feet before you put on the socks , then do so again when you change them for dry ones .
Try to get socks which have a broad elasticated bit or "soft grip" at the top rather than the common narrow bit . If you see a mark around your leg when you remove the socks they will have been restricting your circulation .Stretch them before wearing and/or try tucking long johns into socks rather than socks into long johns.

I would pick up a pair of seal skin socks. Then put another pair of standard socks on under these. if your feet aren't warm theres no blood in you.

A 2-3 layer of clingfilm wrapped not too tightly on the bare foot before the socks works wonders
