MJQ asked:


I wear medium-weight ski socks, but when the temperatures drop to below about -20 C / -4 F, the cold affects the feet (especially the toes). I know there are air-activated heat pads for the toe area, and I’ve seen battery-operated electrically heated socks (but these are usually designed for hunting or wading). What’s the best solution for keeping feet warm whilst skiing in very cold temperatures? Thank you.

   first thing you can get heated soles for your boots but if you dont want to pay for that than you can get heavy weight smart wool socks

   The heat pads are cheap and work real well.
