C-C-Cold feet: Heated socks recommendations?

I found this thread useful when I was looking for a heat "supplement last fall. Based on that info, I ended up getting a pair of these Ocoopa warmers. My plan is to use them in my thigh pockets for early/late stillwater fishing as well as wading. They put out a lot heat, even on the low setting. They can also be used to charge your phone in a pinch.

We were fortunate enough to have a fairly mild winter so I didn't get much of a chance to try them out during my walks.

Real softy here and I can identify with all the suggestions mentioned. As I get older I get cold easier. Like @Northern I bought a cheap pair of electric socks ($50)on Amazon 5 or so years ago for coldwater action. the batterys are at the top of calf and also have a Wifi on/off to my phone so two ways to activate. they work good for 2-4hrs and extend fishing time and comfort most days. As others have mentioned, various types of warmers help and I completely agree. Was gifted a Ororo heated vest a couple of years ago and this thing rocks on really cold days, keeping me warm and toasty when others are sad and cold.

The other thing mentioned I consider is circulation. When winter steelheading or spring tubing I put away the gortext and bring out the 5mil boot foot Hogmans. These boot doesn't constrict blood flow one bit and I can stand in cold river for a good 4 hrs easy with out much hiking. One thing about the Hogmans is 100% wear a life vest because you will not float/swim if you go overboard! Found this out at Nunnaly in 6' feet of water (5'-8') 30 years ago. Very scary and quite lucky.

Interesting - thanks.

It's amazing what a difference it makes when I dress properly for wading in cold water. Instead of polypro and "flannel lined jeans" and Kirkland's medium weight merino wool socks, I wore the same heavy polypro long johns, my "designed for" Patagonia heavy fleece and nylon coated wading pants and heavy, thick wool socks and I didn't get cold feet yesterday. I did get skunked.

Glad you were able to keep warm, sorry to year you got skunked.
 
I bought a cheap pair of rechargeable socks on Amazon a couple years ago. They work just fine. Low setting is perfect, and will last several hours.

I also have rechargeable hand warmers i got on Amazon. I stick them under wrist bands..

Getting cold on the water sucks
