My venerable Lake winter boots have a warm and waterproof upper, but those daft Yanks forgot to make the sole warm and cut a big old hole in the bottom to access the cleats. They are bigger than my normal shoes, lots of volume.

I've put in a double layer of tinfoil under insole, and that has improved things.

Insole is worn out, so please suggest a warmer insole - I'm tempted to just put a layer of karrimat in there.

Random thought.. Odour eaters insoles are rubber on the bottom with the top layer being a spongey material, might be worth a punt for a fiver?

^ same here, I don't think wool will dry/survive long...
You are right, an odour eaters cheapy from suitable budget retailer would work.
