    I never plan on being out when it’s that cold.

    These aren't exactly a new concept. I have a couple pair of "sparkly" socks due to the aluminum threads woven into the fabric. I haven't used them in a long, long time, but I seem to remember they did help. I'll have to see if I can find them again.

    I tried something similar years ago. Pretty much useless. Might be fine for someone in dry atmosphere where radiant loss is big issue but generally cold feet are related to loss of loft in insulation due to it getting damp.

    The bread bag trick works much better and doesn't cost anything

    umbrella bags offer a light weight cold weather water crossing in knee highs.

    I dug up my sparkly socks from the back of the bottom dresser draw, put them on and went and shoveled my driveway in mid 20 degree temps. I must say, they did seem to help. I guess. I suppose the only real test is the one foot with and one foot without. The socks I have are liners, so still need a good sock over them.
