Like Bruce said keeping feet dry is the key. If his are getting wet from the wool socks he needs to change his set up. Put something to wick the moisture away from his feet. The wool will keep them warm wet. That is what wool does keeps warm even wet. You don't say if he needs to have a Steel toe or not. With steel toes he might try those composite ones. Steel will soak the heat away all day long. He might also try some of the various brands of Muck style boots. The ones I've had were good at keeping my feet warm in snow and wet conditions. For dry conditions I use leather shoes with no insulation and rubber soles. Neoprene and other such materials can and will if not a good barrier between will soak heat out the soles. Look for shoes /boots and other clothes from northern climates. I've seen the so-called winter clothes they sell down south for winter and they are the ones we see for spring summer or fall. Like the Arctic coat from Carhartt have a black lining in then and fee like a heavy blanket. As apposed to the red or flannel lining they sell down there. Have him look around at some different clothing sites for what I mean. Walls has a Blizzard Proof line to be along the line of the arctic line from Carhartt. If running a forklift put a seed sack or some kind of barrier between his feet and the platform. I used to have some trouble with that on tractors in winter on steel floor put a seed sack or 2 down and that ended. was just a paper sack with several layers in but cut the flow of heat loss.
