The best thing I have found on the hard deck for keeping the feet warm and dry is a suggestion I picked up here on the board. I wear my 5 mm thick neoprene chest waders out on the ice. If you have worn neoprene in the summer you will know how hot it can get. It is perfect for ice fishing. Wear warm socks underneath and a standard water resistant winter boot over them and you are set. Waders also have the advantage of keeping you dry when you encounter foot soaking, calf deep slush, which is a factor on the hard top that IMO is worse than the severest cold in ruining a trip if one is not prepared for it.
