What socks we got on for standing around in the cold, after a few hours in the snow filled range my feet are frozen. Any decent cheap winter socks out there?

British army Arctic issue socks. Absolutely brilliant and a hell of a lot cheaper than posh ones. Long enough for wellies. From memory they're white with a blue stripe down the back?

When I'm out in this weather, I basically wear a thin pair, a thick pair, neoprene wellies socks and neoprene wellies.

Thermal socks and lined boots, that’s if the puppy hasn’t eaten them.

I've found that the trick is to wear boots that have a raised sole with air pockets in it to stop the cold transferring to your feet, something along the line of Skeetex boots.
I’m using these and paired with my DeWalt waterproof work boots I’m finding them very warm and comfortable the past week in some very cold conditions.

And that's the problem right there
Socks are important, and a couple of layers can help, but decent boots and insoles can do wonders, poor insulated shoes/insoles don't let your feet get the benefit of good socks, so are worth investing in also.

I would recommend some neoprene socks if your boots will accommodate them. Your feet may become a tad damp but they'll be warm and damp.

I bvought some Merino Wool and Silk ski socks from Aldi @ £3.59 a pair. Up to the knee and like little heaters. I don't know if they are still for sale though.

Doc Martens Air Wear soles are very efficient insulation - more so with the Commando pattern sole

If you are stood still for any length of time, try standing on a thick sheet of newspapers or an old carpet offcut - good insulation from the cold ground.
