Also, for feet, you could use the warmers called "toasty toes" to keep your feet warmer without the added pair of socks. I tend to get cold feet no matter how many socks I pile on, but the toasty toes warmers between my socks and the shoes (up under your toes) really do the trick for me. I also can't wear the standard "winter boots" because there is usually too much room in them, and it acts like a refridgerator for me. lol.

They make the same type of things for your hands as well. You can put them inside your gloves, or just keep them in your pockets for easy warming. (It's some kind of chemical in a pouch-like container that heats up when exposed to air... works like the heating belts for your back and such.) They come in packages of four to six, but usually seperated off into twos. They last up to 6 hours (well, that's what the package says) but usually I get too warm after an hour of their use.
