Schnees for me!

Thanks for all the responses! I use a lacrosse alpha burly with 1000gm. In desperate measures I use several layers of socks with toe warmers inside a regular ole' rubber boot with wool inserts. So I my problem really isn't keeping my feet warm....its keeping them dry. By using a rubber boot sure I'm scent free but my feet sweat after the 1.5mile hike to my hunting stand. It sounds like a rubber bottom/leather upper is the way to go. (just a bit leary due to scent control)

I think the MUCK WOODY MAX are the best. They are rated from  +60to -40. I wear a pair of
liner socks and a thin pair of under armor socks in warmer weather. The boots need to fit snug.
In colder weather I wear the liners and a good pair of HEAVY wool hunting socks, have a SECOND pair of boot one size larger. Use for hunting on stand and ice fishing. Very seldom do I have a problem with cold feet. They have good support for you feet, but I found the boots have to fit snug with no slop in the heal.

Has anyone seen or tried the Columbia Bugathermos? They look like a good idea if they work.

another vote for the bean boot. i love 'um, and the price is right. also like the soles on them-very quiet if you're a stalker.

I'm not from the North East but I have a tall pair of Irish Setters that are insulated that work great and are very comfortable.
