More insulation will mean more perspiration. Wet=cold. Are your liners made of wool also? Need to get the moisture away from your feet. Wool wicks away moisture better than synthetics.

Boot man is right with wet equals cold...
on the survivor man channel they were saying that a wet person
looses body heat twice as fast as a dry person
also you can sprinkle a TINY amount of "cayenne pepper"
into your boots that will help heat your feet...to much and you'll be sorry..
it's the best remedy to increase blood circulation since your feet are the furthest from your heart.
When I'm in a stand I perfer to use wool socks . My boots are only 500Gram Thinsulate but I use Toasti Toes foot warmers. They are just like the handwarmers but smaller . I pull out the bottom liner of the boot & Place them far up where your toes are. As soon as you open the Toasti Toes they start to work about 6 hours of use.
I only use them with temps under 25 dig and can sit for 3-4 hours without having to move arround. They cost about .75 a pair
I use moisture wicking sock liners under heavy wool socks. 0% cotton. I did read somewhere that once cotton gets wet it loses ALL it's insulation value. Boots are kinda tight though. I have tried those foot warmers Mike but couldn't fit them under my toes. Maybe I will try a 1/2 size up boot next time to allow more air room.
Cayenne pepper will increase your circulation like nothing else will...
it has been used to keep feet warm too but it's a real small amount that you sprinkle into your boot...
otherwise you'll get hot feet and will be ripping those boots off in a big hurry...
your idea of going a half size larger is right on the money
allowing you to have "some" air space around your feet to trap hot air ......is what is needed...
the half cotton / half rayon whatever socks are better than 100 % cotton..
just reading in cabelas that a large sock is anything 9-12
in a tube sock... (to small for my size 13 feet )
then 12-15 size sold also at big and tall stores is extra large

I bet it will!!! lol I did a Google search and there is something to this. However the cleanup process after sounds a lot like the process for the pepper spray at work. Nothing like macing your own feet!! I think I will tuck this info. away for future use. Sounds like an experiment to be performed on a hunting buddy at deer camp.....or elsewhere.
what i meant was when you use cayenne pepper as a spice
in your cooking it increases your blood circulation....like nothing else will... like having it in a spare salt shaker.........
i didn't mean that you use it in your boots as a way to increase your blood circulation... ok ? although it has been used to slightly warm your feet in that way...
