Hey /out/, I'm preparing for a week-long December AT hike in the Virginia/NC area, and I need information on socks; I bleed heat from my feet and I'm looking to make sure my feet will be as warm as possible when sleeping in what can be presumed to be sub-zero temperatures in the worst-case scenario. I already have a 20°F bag with a good liner that brings it down to a 0°F rating, but I need absolute security.
My question is this: there are so many kinds of socks: liners, full-cushions, and so on: what socks should I get for maximum warmth and comfort exclusively for sleeping, and not hiking? I already have a pair of DarnTough hiking socks and they're immaculate, however I don't think I need another pair of them when I'm looking exclusively for socks with maximum heat retention to be used exclusively as a sleeping/campground sock.
