Cold feet. My nemesis. How to over come it??

If going to sit for a long time, arctic shield booties. a hot hand on the outside of the laces/toe of your hiking boots and then arctic boot over your hiking boots with the hot hand.

I went to this in single digit tree stand hunting and was the combo that actually allowed me to stay for hours. The artic shield booty things don’t weigh much and could easily be packed.
THIS is the key right here. Works spectacularly wolf hunting for hours long sits in very cold temperatures.
 
Adding a diy insole layer made out of a reflective material helps. You can buy those windshield inserts. They are shiny with a layer of bubble wrap. You just cut your own out of them. Just make sure you have room or get a thinner insole to accommodate the added layer.

I also suffer from cold feet. I used to think i could 'hold' heat in but you can't get your boots too tight... nowadays I keep the lower half of my boot very loose and only tighten the top half to give my foot plenty of room to make warm air. I only tighten the lower half if I am hiking hard. When sitting, i bought a pair of glassing pants from OR and they have been great to keep my lower legs warm.
