i was camping in Finland last year in -20 to -30 and the best way to keep the feet warm was to wear 3 pairs of socks tin medium and tick. If it worked over there in that temp it will work over here

I find the best thing to do is get a pair of waders 1 size above your normal shoe size & if you can afford them a pair of medium thickness sealskin socks,that way your feet have plenty room to ciculate thus keeping them warm,works for me anyway

Just cut a nice fluffy bit of carpet and put it in the boots ,it works great
Also buy a divers dry suit liner you can get em cheap from military surplus websites they work wonders too,try Denbigh military surplus I saw a full suit for £40 ,it's a green manky looking thing but you'll be warm
