TIP: The online
Bushwalk Inventory System can help bushwalkers with a variety of bushwalk planning tasks, including: Manage which items they take bushwalking so that they do not forget anything they might need, plan meals for their walks, and automatically compile food/fuel shopping lists (lists of consumables) required to make and cook the meals for each walk. It is particularly useful for planning for groups who share food or other items, but is also useful for individual walkers.

Safeway have a cheap polyester and acrylic fuzzy sleeping socks for sale at the moment.
$9- a pair but tomorrow I a going to buy a couple of pair because sleeping sock for big feet don't show up all that often and these are in 11-13. They have silicon stripes on the soles already too.
Sometimes my feet need just a little extra warmth and the big bivvy boots are often far too much.

I sleep in either my down booties, or the inner boots of my Scarpa T4s. Makes it easy to have a pee in the middle of the night!

I bought the cheap socks, especially as I can't easilly take the liners out of the T2 and the old Alp Sport bivvy boots are misplaced somewhere

Sleeping socks for me have been a never ending quest, similar to gloves.
I got very lucky some time ago when Wilderness Wear threw in a freeby pair of wool crew height socks with some stuff that I ordered.
They would have to be the best sleeping socks I have ever had. I have the warmth and breathability of a reasonable weight of wool, AND they don't slide off my feet, AND they don't drag and catch on whatever I'm sleeping in.
Doesn't get any better for me.
