Another really good sock is the merino wool sock
"Expedition" made by Woolrich for their outdoor guide collection (that's what
the tag says). They're thick, and soft, and really warm. Actually, I
wear them yearround, for riding, because they're so comfortable.
Other "merino wool socks" I've tried have not been so great - some are really
quite thin and aren't as comfortable or as warm. Nothing like the Woolrich
socks (and no I don't sell them).
100% Fleece socks! I have tried wool and just
about every kind of sock that say they are insulated and warm. I have cold
feet & hands all the time. Nothing beats fleece socks. Fleece is an
amazing fabric. Get the thick polar fleece ones that are not thin and fuzzy
inside.

Having
suffered for years with cold feet while riding, I finally have boots
that really work. (I used toe warmers for quite a while, and while
they kept my toes from freezing, they didn't keep them warm)
Columbia
Bugaboo boots have been my solution. They keep my feet WARM, even
toasty, no matter how cold it is, what the windchill is, how long I
ride, or whatever. They fit in Easy Rider stirrups. AND I can
hike in them... even long distances. They run about $90-100 and
come in men and women's sizes.
