Anyway, I wear one layer of socks and the only time my feet are cold is when they are wet. I just finished walking 5 miles. It was 0 when I started and it is 10 now. I was absolutely comfortable. After stopping at home to take a pee and write this, I will walk another 5.

Tomorrow the daytime high is supposed to be -15, which, I think would be a record, but, Wednesdays are not exercise days for me.

At those temperatures, greenhouse heating gets strange because frost clogs air leaks in the structure. It reduces heating requirements but it increases the probability that the oxygen deprivation sensors in my open flame heaters will turn the heaters off. Good to be home, if that happens.

I tried 2 pairs and they were tight and my feet were much colder than wearing one pair. Loose fitting shoes would work better to keep your feet warm. Keeps a nice pillow of warm air in there. Same as how loose fitting clothes work better than tight ones. My feet rarely got cold as long as I was moving around and working or something. Standing still, nothing but a heat source would keep them warm.
