I have not found these to be warm. I think some insulated boots would serve you better.

Buy a few from Walmart and try them. In addition to work boots in cold garages I wear them inside tight ballet shoes for dance class. I ignore the directions and stick them to the tops of my toes so I don't distort what my foot stands on. Good luck also.

I wore them hunting in 10 degrees with a pair of rocky boots and my feet were quite toasty, as for wearing them inside I do not know. Maybe you should also look at your foot ware also.

I would just get a good pair of felt lined waterproof boots and wool socks. These socks are good for keeping your feet dry but they also make your feet sweat a bit. In a cold weather situation these socks would keep your feet dry, but they would also be frozen.

i wear the merino wool, ones year around and i love them . i personally don't like the lighter ones, but my daughter loves them , i do not think the lighter ones has enough padding . i would try both and decide from there. the socks last forever.

I have sensitivity to wool, and I have absolutely no problems with this socks. In fact I went and bought three more pairs after the first ones.

I find that about 12 hrs in a deep freeze will get them cold. I work 12 hr shifts and if I have the packs frozen the day before the last approximatly 3 hrs each. I don't wear for the first 2 hrs of work and I'm cool all day long

I wear wool socks all year round even in the dead of summer because they keep my feet the most comfortable. I sweat bad in cotton and synthetic socks. Wool is the best fabric ever. I have 4 pair of Darn Tough Socks, and I highly recommend them. I converted about 6 months ago from another very popular brand of merino wool socks that I wore for years. I like the Darn Tough socks a lot better.

Earl, I live in Texas and cold riding really isn't too common down here. I have a EEE foot and they fit fine with regular socks. Ride safe brother.

Short answer: No. These socks are quite thick, and adding a 2nd pair of socks would mean that my boots would be too tight and would not fit. In supremely cold climates (you pick how cold), you need boots that are insulated, as well as warm thick socks. Adding more and more socks, in my experience, does not work - it's not like adding layers of jackets to your torso.

I went one up. I recommended 2 pairs of socks or 1 thick pair. Softer on your feet and warmer in cold water. Very happy with the pair I got.

I wore Feetures fitted socks under them. I would think wool over them might hold water in, but I'm not sure.

I wear some heavy wool sox in the winter in my sloggers. My shoe size is 7 1/2 but my sloggers are size 8, so I think if your liners or heavy sox are pretty thick you should be fine with the size larger.

As long as your shoes/boots have space I wouldn't know why not. These socks are typically worn in cases where your feet will be in water (wading through rivers) for longer periods of time so wool socks over them in submerged water would provide little to no insulating value and would likely add weight to your feet with drenched socks.

For best results, part way through the dry cycle, take out the socks and turn them inside out. I have also put them through a normal dry cycle with no problems as well.

There are two possibilities, one of them being that you simply put more on the boots than they could absorb. The other possibility is that your boots were too cold to absorb but little of the snow seal. Thus, heating your boots (I have had the best results with sunlight) should probably work better.
