Default Insulation, cold feet question
Hey guy just got a nice pair of Harley cowboy boots to ride with; however, my feet get cold easy. Any tips or tricks to keep the feet warm?

Layers... first silk or another wicking fabric followed by good wool socks. Wool insulates even when wet.

Can get the heat packs at any sporting good store, or Wal Mart. I use them in winter time when snowblowing - keeps hands & feet toasty.

If you go with wool socks look for 90% wool. Makes a huge difference. I cAn go into the mid teens with no issue.
