What a great low-budget alternative! I have notoriously cold feet. Neoprene socks are definitely going in my Amazon shopping cart. Thanks for the tip Richard!

I just ordered a pair of Tim’s sleeping socks. I’ll post up my impressions. I love my top quilt, so I’m sure the product quality will be high.

I’ve been reading mixed reviews. Some folks swear that wearing socks AND down booties feels colder than just bare feet in the booties. Some recommend a light sock liner to reduce oils and dirt getting in to the down. I find that down is warmer and quicker to react than synthetic, but there are places and conditions where synthetic is better. I like fleece, for example, as an insulating layer because I don’t have to worry about sweating or treating my clothes too tenderly. I have a pair of synthetic insulated pants that I really like. It may be that I go with a synthetic sock as well.

Nice set up Richard! I’ll take a look at neoprene. Thanks.
