Hi, I am planning to thru-hike in 2008 starting in early to mid March. I bought FlyrocT 310's to wear and was wondering if my feet will stay warm enough in the snow with these shoes? Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Make sure you get used to these before you start you hike. I found that it took several weeks to get use to the flexibility. In particular my calf muscles were sore after a long day until the were strengthen.
The Flyrocs won't provide a lot of insulation. Some people's feet stay pretty warm so long as the working their legs. Other people have feet that get cold easily. Depending on the conditions and you sensitivity to cold you might want to try in increasing warmth / protection:
sealskinz socks
wool socks with a coolmax liner
comfortable sock with rocky gore-tex over socks
vapor barrier socks with wool or fleece oversocks for extra warmth and maybe an oversock to keep insulation dry.
