try these:

- your boot is probably cutting off blood flow (no blood = cold feet) go see a bootfitter

- wool socks are a gift from god! they keep your feet warm even if your get a little damp

- fill your liners with warm water and a mild soap. washing them will unclog the pores of the liner allowing moisture to discipate more effectively

- do not drive to the hill with your ski socks on

- take two pairs of socks to the hill and change them at lunch (sweat makes you cold)

- apply an aerosol anti-perspirant to your feet before putting your boots on

- man up and buy a set of Therm-ic boot warmers

Supposedly you lose a ton of heat out of the gasket right after the toe buckle, so a piece of duct tape to seal that up prevents all that heat from escaping, keeping your feet a lot warmer

Fact.

Are your current liners really packed out? If you like your boot but your liner is worn, you are losing the insulation value as well as comfort and performance. Find a reputable boot fitter and just go talk to them. They will let you know whats up and give you some ideas.

i'm a bootfitter and i deal with people complaining about cold feet day-in and day-out.

also, there's a sweet little product out there called a "boot glove". basically it's a 5mm neoprene cover that goes over your boot and velcros in the back. it keeps the wind-chill and water out and the warmth in
