I think these are the ones I have. I know they're full cushion. Have 3 pair and they all look different.

These off the shelf at Walmart have worked really well for me for years and a pair lasts 2-3 years because I have about 5-6 pair that I rotate weekly. They are plenty warm for hunting in the fall/winter and I even wear them in the summer because they cushion my boney feet and area available in XL.

Socks made from bison down have been good for me.

A boot that is a little loose will go a long ways towards keeping your feet warm. Regardless of which sock you go with, if you squeeze it into a tight boot it's going to restrict blood circulation ...and you will get cold feet.

Anybody tried alpaca?

Another vote for SmartWool...during hunting season I have three pair I rotate between...very pleased with them...not just warmth...but comfort...feet stay dry, etc.

The warmest ones I have found are the Smartwool mountaineering edition sock.

I have and they are so warm I went back to merino. My feet were sweating so much. I had to walk into the stand and then change into alpaca or they would be "wet"

I have some darn tough that were issued to us, I just can't do it, too thick and too warm for me. Of course, I have been losing circulation, so may give them another try if it gets cold enough.

 

[Deer Whisperer]

I buy the highest wool content I can find. Another thing that really helps is to replace the original insole with a wool felt insole. I buy a variety of thicknesses and use the thickest that the boot allows.
This really helps with moisture management and makes the boot more comfortable.

I have been using smart wool for a while, but just got a couple pairs of the darn tough hunting socks to give a try.

 

[Methane]

Smart wool mountaineering socks for me. I have a couple pair and they are only worn while hunting.

So true

kuiu merino wool. comfortable, keep my feet dry on longer walks, dont fall down in my boots. the trick i learned is when its really cold, i will wait and throw a toasty toes warmer in my boots after i get settled in the stand and feel my toes get chilled
