As a steelhead fisherman, who spends a great many hours standing in frigid water during the winter months, I would also suggest trying a combination of merino wool socks (doesn't itch) and neoprene socks, although nothing really works for long if you are stationary long periods of time. Both are available at Cabela's. Darryl Gage Forestville, NY "Strange and beautiful are the stars tonight..." - Blue Rodeo
