Make sure they are not tight on your feet as that will make your feet colder quicker. I would also recommend a marino (sp) wool sock. The more wool the better. Wool will keep you warm even when wet unlike most man made products. I would also go for some kind of breathable boot with the most isolation available. I do not have a spicific brand to recomend

Couple questions... What do you want out of a boot are you hiking into the woods far or walking in a little ways and then sitting?

I fought cold feet for years....started wearing wicking sock liners and wool socks. Doing that kept the moisture away from my feet and no more cold feet. Once I figured out that trick I was able to wear just about any boot I wanted as long as it fit loosely enough to allow movement of my toes. I settled on lacrosse earohead 3.5MM ....a very lightweight boot.

I don't use insulated boots but I carry spare socks and then change them out when I get to my destination or my feet start getting cold. I carry multiple pair and will wear multiple pair get my boots a size quite loose and it helps alot I wear lacrosse alpha mudlites but a friend of mine always swore by the lacrosse arctic(I think is what they are called) boots he did a lot of work in really cold ditches over the years said every time he headed north to work he'd stop in and get him a new pair but he never could wear them down here because they were to hot

One thing I've been doing is wearing an old pair of dress socks since they are thin then I put a pair of toe warmers on each foot. One on top and one on bottom then I cover that up with thick wool socks. I made sure to get boots with plenty of room for all that with a little toe wiggle room to boot. I got LaCross boots that are I think 7.5 or 8mm neoprene. So far I've been pretty happy.
Those drugs can really mess with your body temp, a buddy of mine can't keep warm at all and ended up breaking down and getting a buddy heater. He's nice enough to send me a text saying it's about 80 in his stand he build while I'm scraping ice off my tree stand ...

Warm weather I have a pair or Survivors 400gr in realtree that are extremely comfortable, and when for when its a little colder I just got a pair or 1000gr LaCrosse AlphaBurly with the zipper... They are a little heavy but they are warm... A size larger is always a good idea as well

I have a pair of those, Arctic Shield brand. They're noisy, and not as warm as I was expecting. I bought some aerogel insoles from kotulas.com last year, you can put your feet flat on frozen ground and not feel chilled. They're $15 per pair, and worth every cent. |
