FirstFredom has it right .... as taught to me by The Sierra Club mountaineering section years ago. Wickdry and wool.
But, like piercfh I learned while living/hunting/guiding in B. C. for several years that rubber boots, loose enough for the double socks, were my best solution. Used pacs (Sorel) some but found them not as comfortable. Also carried a couple of pieces of Ensolite - one under my feet, one under my butt when sitting! Keeps the cold off the boot soles some.
Even notice that when deer are seen or the ducks begin to come in the cold goes away!!!!
