Like Bruce said keeping feet dry is the key. If his are getting wet from the wool socks he needs to change his set up. Put something to wick the moisture away from his feet. The wool will keep them warm wet. That is what wool does keeps warm even wet. You don't say if he needs to have a Steel toe or not. With steel toes he might try those composite ones. Steel will soak the heat away all day long. He might also try some of the various brands of Muck style boots. The ones I've had were good at keeping my feet warm in snow and wet conditions. For dry conditions I use leather shoes with no insulation and rubber soles. Neoprene and other such materials can and will if not a good barrier between will soak heat out the soles.

I used to have some trouble with that on tractors in winter on steel floor put a seed sack or 2 down and that ended. was just a paper sack with several layers in but cut the flow of heat loss.

Today's Featured Article - Product Review: JB Weld - by Staff. JB Weld is basically an epoxy glue that does an exceptionally good job of bonding to cast iron and steel along with several other materials. As I mentioned, it is so common that I have yet to buy a tractor that did not have JB Weld used somewhere. It is sometimes used so well you can't tell its there and other times used as a sloppy quick fix.
