That extra room also allows you to wiggle your toes inside the boot when you are standing/sitting, increasing the circulation of warm blood through your feet.

I agree that the wiggy's line is top notch. I use the overboot, these things are the real deal, waterproof, have a legit sole, and easy to put on in the tree or where ever. I wrap them tight and keep em in my pack until i am in the tree or until my feet start to get cold. either way layer up on the feet can really help keep you in the woods!

Something I tried a few years back while ground hunting:
I carried I a set of felt boot liners and a set of arctic shield booties.
When I got to my stand I took off my big boots and sealed them in a Newfie Suitcase. Then I put on the felt liners and Arctic Shield booties. That’s the warmest my feet have been on a cold hunt. Most comfortable too. Like wearing slippers. Great on the ground. Not so great for tree climbing.
I’m thinking something like this might be the answer.

Anyone try these?
I’d like to try a hike in with just some felt liners in these and see how it goes. They are a lot bigger than the Arctic Shields. At some point you’ve got to say enough stuff!
Currently, it is typically my feet that get cold first.
I usually wear insulated rubber boots. They’ll keep my toes warm for the first couple of hours but then the cold starts to creep in.
Maybe I should go back to lace up pack boots and loosen them off when on stand.

just found this thread, been wearing my N1B's for 2 years in Minnesota winters now, and like Ricky said, once it gets below freezing and the snow is drier, these boots are the best i have found in my 40yrs of MN winters.
