    First spray your feet with antiperspirant. I stress antiperspirant and not deodorant. Next I prefer these sockshttps://www.amazon.com/Below-Thermal-Winter-Socks-PAIRS/dp/B07CBSW7W1?th=1&psc=1

    Finally a quality pair of insulated boots. I like alpha burlys with 1600 grams of insulation but there are many others. I wouldnt go less than 1200.

    Wear socks and boots, not steel toe tho. You could get some of the foam floor tiles for in front of work benches, they will insulate under your feet were most of the cold comes from.

    My thinking is to NOT put tight stuff on feet and ankles. Allow for good blood flow. I don't want 1 or 2 tight sock layers plus longjohns tight at ankle. I like loose boots with one decent, part-wool sock. I were a short muck boot with the formed open top. Yes it lets heat out, but my feet don't sweat. You can also twist up a piece of cloth and seal the opening around the top of the boot. If its really cold, I wear a rain pant or windbreaker pants and have the cuff cover the boot. That way the wind doesn't rob your heat.

    A good comfortable light weight boot. waterproof with some insulation. About 300g of thinsulate is my choice. Breathability and circulation is the key. Medium weight wool socks. Some people wear fuzzy lined crocs and swear by em. If you looking for specifics....on cool days I wear sketcher zip up boots.(actually every day I wear jeans). On cold days I wear Artiv8 300g zipups.

    One of the best purchases I made is a set of fleece thermals for an underlayer.

    I've gotten to where 40 degrees & sunny is my favorite weather. Sans the wind tho.

    I agree with AlphaBurlys 1600. Go a size larger so you can get extra socks on. Otherwise they can be tough to take off! I've been out this year in below zero weather and no problems with my feet getting cold.

    PolarForce(R) Hiker Boots

    I bought a pair of these made for people working in walk in freezers. They are heavy with steel toes but I NEVER get cold toes with these. Scott
