Synthetic materials next to the skin wick away moisture more efficently than cotton, which loses its warmth when wet. Water- and windproof outer layers will also contribute greatly to warmth, even if they’re not heavy in bulk. If waterproof synthetics are not available, wool is a reasonable substitute in all but heavy rain.
Waterproof footwear is also a good idea, especially in snow, wet leaves and thick grass. One pair of thick wool socks is better than several pairs of cotton ones. Make sure that the socks are not too thick for the boots, cramping the toes and impairing circulation. At best you’ll be uncomfortable, at worst it will contribute to frostbite.
Remember, also, that as you dress after getting out of bed your feet are at their smallest. After walking some distance and then standing, they will swell. Allow space for that inside the boots.
Stick an extra pair of socks, and maybe extra gloves, in an empty pocket. They may come in handy. And, in an emergency, the extra socks double as perfectly usable mittens.
