Bigeight,
What socks do they recommend or what do you wear? I use to think the more the better, but have come to the conclusion a thin liner and medium sock are better with boots generally.

I have no idea what they recommend. I usually wear a pair of silk socks if its 30+ degrees and up. If it's colder than that, I add a pair of wool socks to the silk ones and call it good. Might be better without the wool, but I've never tried. I think you are right on track, the more socks, the less air flow and less circulation.
That's why I like those boots 1.5-2 sizes bigger than my day to day shoes. The padding in them is so thick/yet fluffy it gives a LOT of toe wiggle room and plenty of padding between the toes and the outside air. I wear a 10 shoe, and have size 12 Baffin and they feel smaller than my size 10 rubber boots that are 2,000 gram, and as easy to walk in as my early season 400 gram rubber boots. I basically only hunt from tree stands, so them feeling small like an early season boot is important to me for moving around on those small platforms when i'm all bundled up.
No idea how they compare to the others in comfort and warmth, I've basically only had the late season rubber boots before these, or the ridiculous clod hopper style pack boot when I was younger.
