When mountaineering, trail running, or even hiking in the winter:


WigWam brand sock liners (unknown part #, white, very thin yet durable, synthetic fabric that wicks well. If you're concerned about blisters, check out the "double layer socks from WigWam or WrightSocks.

Wool socks over the liners, I like SmartWool

Goretex shoes/boots with vibram soles. BTW, stay away from The North Face gore-tex shoes, they're crap

I buy all my junk from REI.com

This combo has saved my ass, well my feet rather, a couple time in SHTF scenarios.

Keep your feet dry, use a non-cotton, wicking layer against your feet.

An additional note. This keeps your feet toasty in the cold, but is perfectly doable as "office wear" here in the PNW. My feet don't cook, HTH
