Actually, I had a thick wool sock, plastic bag, then a thin sock over that. Did I have that backwards? Is it more effective to have the the thin sock on the inside?ahh, anther debate, plastic against your skin....

Debatable, but it is either plastic against skin and sock over topActually, I had a thick wool sock, plastic bag, then a thin sock over that. Did I have that backwards? Is it more effective to have the the thin sock on the inside?

or
thin sock, plastic, thicker sock. The issue with the thick sock on the bottom is that it will get wet from sweat and become cold.
No one has re-mentioned the plastic bag trick for you feet?
I think the point is to keep your socks from getting wet, and staying wet and not working.What's the point of the plastic? Doesn't that make your feet sweat regardless of what layered socks you have?

I have the same issue. I bought the largest Wolvhammers (50) and I can’t really layer socks without making things too tight. Hell, they don’t make socks big enough to not squeeze my feet so I went with Thermacell heated insoles. I bought them last winter and they are still working great so far this year.You all are so lucky to have small feet and be able to add another sock, bags, heat pads and still have room in the boot.
My size 13 is a tight fit with just a heavy sock in the euro 48, thats a 14 size in usa. When it's that tight my feet loose circulation and then feel cold.
The heated socks sure have helped, no problems. Just hope they last more than 1 season. So far this season has been toasty toes.

I find the plastic only works in normal shoes. I use it to replace a booty. Perfect example would be a cold cross race.
Hope they work for you, but I think your feet will freeze in those. Also because they don't have a merino wool lining.I didn't think of using my old diving booties till I read @clarkenstein 's post on the 510 winter shoe thread on using surfing booties. Have a pair of oversized winter boots which may fit with them on. Going to give it a try today if I get a chance to get out.

So who else is thinking about fitting their pogies to the snow blower?
That said when I got back nothing was sweaty which even in cold weather is a first for me.
