i used these toe warmers today, theyre just like hand warmers except they stick to the bottom of your sock and they dont get too hot, but they keep your feet nice and warm.

Having dry feet is key, and as someone already mentioned investing in some quality socks is a very good idea. If you do get good socks dont wear them to the hill, put them on just before you put your boots on.

get real ski socks. they actually work. the big reason why your feet get cold is because your feet sweat alot and the moisture cools off, so not only are your feet trying to warm up, they're trying to heat up the sock aswell. that's why it feels so cold. if you got a real ski sock that didn't soak up the sweat, sort of like an underarmor sock, you'd be fine.

Yeah what everyone else said - get some real ski socks. And contrary to what you would automatically think, a thinner sock is actually better than a big and bulky thick sock. You need a bit of space for your toes to move around in your boot as well.

make sure your ski socks arent to tight around the upper ankles, cuz that can slow down the blood flow and cuz your toes to get really cold

your boots were probably fitted wrong, go to Colorado Ski and Golf and have someone fit them for you, if they are inconsistent and havent packed out yet that is deff ur problem

do those permanent foot warmers that cost 120$ work like the temporary ones just cost more? to get rid of cold toes always dry you insoles have ski socks and try to avoid having your boots on tight or a long time before riding otherwise your feet sweat and they will just get cold

someone once told me to wear some silk liner things inside my socks to wick the moisture away.

i have this problem too... my boot liners are soaked by the end of the day, and i think that the dampness causes them to pack out more than they would otherwise. does anyone have suggestions to keep my feet, socks, and liners dry? i have decent salomon boots, i have no clue why they aren't waterproof.

Cheap old racer trick that might help you a little.

Take some duck tape and put it over that area in front of your toe buckels where the plastic overlaps meets the tow shell area of the boot. Air and water can actally get in through there, especially if the rubber has worn down.
