Warm boots?

[fawnzy]

Cool. In the past while sitting on the ground I’ve used a felt boot liner inside some arctic shield booties. Very warm and comfy.

I think I have decided to get the Wiggy's Muclucs. Then my feet can be cooler on the way to the stand and throw them on and stay warmer. Waling out in my 1200G rubber boots probably saturated my socks and I was doomed from there. I also have high quality socks coming too instead of my El cheapos. Thanks for all the input guys.

I hike in for hunting in Canada. I can be pretty cold. That said, some places I hike to I’m going to sweat. I pack extra clothes and change when I get there.
I wear pack boots. I’ll change my socks and bring a second set of boot liners.
I even bring a small towel if need be.

All sweaty stuff goes into a garbage bag and gets sealed.

Seems like a lot but sitting wet in the cold sucks.

I switched to bringing down booties in to the blind with me. I put them on and lay my rubber boots down and then my bow bag on top to rest me feet on.

That should work. I’ve also work felt liners inside arctic shield booties. Warm but not so great for climbing

Might sound silly but I switched from a typical webbing belt (or any belt) to suspenders. Belts like to cut off further circulation to your lower half. I also change to a dry pair of socks when I get to the tree base.

People have already had great advice, but here is my keys to foot warmth. MUKLUKS from ELy, MN, have never had cold feet in them in the 5 years i've owned mine. Also wool socks and don't over tighten your boots...

Wiggy's make Lamilite socks as will. Check them out on his website.
Keep us posted on how your Mukluks perform.

OK, so I have my Wiggys Mukluks. My plan is to wear my rubber 1/2 boot (pictured) to the stand then put on my Wiggys. Not sure about the rubber boot though. Any Thoughts?

In addition to the wool socks what I've found helps me the most is having a good moisture wicking sock liner under my wool socks. I can get away with 400 gram boots down to 10 degs and my feet are still warm. If it's colder than that I add a boot blanket, but the biggest key is keeping your feet dry.

Absolute best winter boots i have Ever used are the Cabelas trans alaskan3 Saskatchewans. They have 2 insoles and a liner ( cold barrier moisiure wicking & insole) , ball bearing lacing, & gaiter sinch. They were designed for the iderod sledog mushers. They are amazing , mold to your foot on the inside & conform to your leg on the outside. I icefish ( ALOT) in them and i clean out my holes using mostly the auger which drenches your boots ; had them look like ice blocks lol ,have stepped up to my knee in an icefishing hole, & have been on some sloppy hardwater conditions and never have my feet ever been
COLD or WET in 8 years!!! I look forward to winter because of them.
Unfortunately Cabelas has changed hands and have been taking the tried and true products off thier shelves so the Saskatchewan model is hard to find but they still do have the reg trans Alaskans ( i hope). I have 2 pair one for snowshoeing and the other for everything else.
I cannot wear anything but regular cotton socks with them because otherwise they would be too hot. Theres a foot warmer pocket in the insole but not sure where you would need to live to use them prolly antartica! Can never put the floor heater on in a vehicle with them so i put them on once i reach my destination.
But ; feet dont ever get too warm or cold when worn outside in Northern Minnesota temps ( never ever any need for wool socks with theese) no grams of typical insulation ( theres not even a gram rating) .They are super flexible for a pac boot and i canot say enough about them. Every person i have turned on to theese has thanked me.

Question for the masses. I have a pair of cabellas 1200 gram rubber boots and my feet froze last year even with heated insoles. Looking for recommendations on warm boots. I live in Wisconsin so it can get a bit nippy here. Thanks in advance.

Take the hot hands to warmers and stick them on the inside TOP of the boot so they're over your toes. My feet haven't gotten cold since I started doing that
