I cross country ski in zero and below temps would these really keep feet warm?

Probably not. If you were racing yes. If you are doing back country no. When I did back country I had a boot that had a sererate felt lining in the whole boot. They were designed by people that skied in Yellowstone in the winter. Jim West Chester

I live in San Diego and sick where my feet are cold even the summer. These insoles keep my feet warm with one pair of thin cotton socks and they do not make your feet sweat. They are made in Canada where it gets really cold. If I were you I would buy a couple of pair because I think you will really like them. They do not look like anything special, but they are.

I used a pair this winter in my "L. L. Bean Snow Sneakers". They kept the bottoms of my feet toasty warm; but the tops and sides were still cold. So, it would depend on how well insulated upper part of your boots are. Richard P.-Ohio

They'd keep your feet dry, but they are not insulated. Maybe they'd be warm enough with thick socks.

I would not recommend for cold weather. The reason we bought them is they zip together and wife and I could zip them together and sleep like in double bed. Zipper is a bit weak but overall a decent price and worked for us...

If you remain aware of your surroundings, then yes! On smooth surfaces without snow or ice your feet could become unstable. They are so easily removed & reinstalled it really shouldn't be necessary to keep them on, although I have worn them numerous times in grocery stores, etc. without difficulty.

I suppose that would depend on what kind of conditions you're skiing in. I've only skied here in Michigan, and I would be sweating in these. I would put these on the low end of "low to medium activity." Great for outdoor work like cutting wood where you're not really moving around a lot.

I have been down to 10 degrees F, wind chills below zero. For 6 and 8 miles. No issues wearing a normal pair of running shoes with this socks.

The thermal ones would, but I would be too hot. I think a smart wool would work better. Michigan winter. Depends on your intensity of workout

yes, as long as it is not too wet or slushy. feet stay warm and toasty and covered, but NOT water proof.

If you are skiing in a dry climate, i.e. "powder" conditions in the rockies or the sierra's, they might work; however I wouldn't trust them in east coast conditions as they fog up VERY quickly..

i don't think they would be too hot. I live in the Pacific Northwest where winter is usually in the 40s - 50s and they are very comfortable both outside as well as in my house which is warmer than 50 degrees.

If you have any tendencies to get cold in the winter these will help any one. they are thin, not uncomfortable in a boot. I will not ski with out them.

I would say no. I wore them motorcycling at +40°F 55mph, the wind felt like it was going right through them. Glad I tested them out before it really gets cold, I need to find a nice pair so I can keep cycling until it snows.

I wore them hunting in 10 degrees with a pair of rocky boots and my feet were quite toasty, as for wearing them inside I do not know. Maybe you should also look at your foot ware also.

I would just get a good pair of felt lined waterproof boots and wool socks. These socks are good for keeping your feet dry but they also make your feet sweat a bit. In a cold weather situation these socks would keep your feet dry, but they would also be frozen.

If you mean 20 below, no way will these work. If you mean 20 degrees, you may be ok if your activity level is high since they're rubber on the outside with a thin layer of fleece on the inside and they will keep the heat in. They have a good grip and are completely waterproof. Small containers may be an issue depending on what the container is like. Hard to say about that. My husband uses them for shoveling snow in those temps and was fine. Hope that helps.

I disagree with the previous answer: they are not very warm... they are somewhat warm. They dexterity is there but the intense grip of the rubber would make diminutive tasks difficult. I will be adding thin cotton glove liners to mine this year to provide a boost to insulation. Since I ride a bike with them, I don't have to worry about the added loss in dexterity. Theses gloves are not effective below 30F degrees.
