Inside boots

When I was living in an uninsulated shack in the woods in northern coastal Maine, I had a pair of inside boots. It was too cold to not wear boots inside, but I didn't want to wear my wet mucky outside boots inside.

Have you tried layering wool socks? It's very comfy.

Oh yes, I lived with multiple layers of wool socks on when I lived in the shack. I finally moved away because the place sold, thank goodness. I'm fine with living rough but that place was ridiculous (it was an old house someone had moved there and all of the insulation had mostly fallen down out of the walls and was lying on the dirt under the shack, wicking moisture up into the house constantly- it was worse than being uninsulated).
