Muck boots and wool socks have always done it for me.

Seriously though Rick, I can't imagine your feet would ever get cold inside that luxury cabin!

Another vote for muck boots and wool socks.

Traction on an icy deck is very important to me since I have a bad back and knees. I'm always fearful of a slip and fall. Any suggestions for better traction, or to keep ice off the deck, would be greatly appreciated!

I know you can get replacement felt soles for wader boots so you might be able to glue them on the soles.

The only thing I know that works on ice for traction is sand.

I wish there had been some on the ground yesterday when I stepped out of my pickup and busted my azz in front of about 15 people at work. As for the warm feet, I just wear the Muck boots and wool socks. Sometimes my toes get a little chilly, but not too bad.

If your feet get cold wearing these, you're dead!

I was thinking about using sand or ice melt. I'm sure it would be messy but would probably be worth the clean up.

Please don't laugh.... but I wear these all year in my kayak and out. And yes I do fish all winter and in icy weather.

They have gone from being my kayak boots to being my fishing boots. I wear thin socks under them and tuck my pants into teh top.

I was always told why your feet and hands get cold first is because the circulation slows to protect your heart and vital organs. What works for me is I keep hand warmers in my pockets around my chest area. I also wear boots that are one size bigger with wool socks to keep good circulation.

Just want to thank everyone that took the time to reply with opinions and comments, I really appreciate it!
