Those expensive rubber boots - which one?

[bowdude]

I love the extra benefits of the knee high rubber boots.  But have always bought the cheap uninsulated farm ones and used them only in the above 50 degree days.  Are those "insulated" ones actually warm in zero weather? Are they worth the money?  What brand?  I have very high arches and will need room in the tops.  Any suggestions?

I have a pair of Lacross Alpha Burley's with 1200 gr. weight of Thinsulate.  They are very warm down to 5-10 degrees.  I haven't used them in any weather colder than that.  I'd say with another layer of socks they'd probably work down to zero or so.

Bowdude.  I think.. yes.  definately.  Look for sales.  Gander Mtn is opening a super store on the north side of Madison soon and I bet they have plenty of sales.  Not only are they warmer, but they fit better so you can walk more comfortably and with less foot problems.

I went from Alpha Burlys with 800 grams to Muck Boots for early season! Once it got in the teens my feet would freeze in the Alpha Burlys! I think I should of bought 2 sizes bigger instead of one and wear better wool socks! My feet would sweat and my hunt was done! Late season when its in the teens to below zero I went with Cabelas Saskatchewan pac Boots! Expensive but will last me forever and my feet stay warm! I like that the liner comes out with the Saskatchewan boot and can dry them pretty quickly!

Personally i like extra tuf knee boots. I own uninsulated and insulated.

I have Muck boots and Extra Tuffs.... like both.

Had the 1200 gram Alphas but wasn't real impressed with the warmth.  Also kind of "moon boot" feeling if your doing any distance.  Now have the Muck Woody Max and wouldn't buy anything else.  Comfortable, warm and I can cover a lot of ground.  Feel lightweight.

Muck boots and good wool socks ... pretty comfortable even in the late season here.

I find the uninsulated lacrosse works better than the insulated. The insulated fits tighter around my foot (I got wide ones). I keep warmer with the non, and a pair of liner socks, then wool. I think a little air space is the thing.

I've found the same thing as red.  The uninsulated lacrosse work perfect.  I've had them out many days when it was down in the low 20's high teens.  Haven't been out in them any colder than that yet, but they work really good.  Don't see a need for insulated ones here. dino

Uninsulated Lacrosse here too.  My feet get cold, but I wear more socks and those chemical foot warmer things and it all works out.  They have worked for the past two Ohio winters anyway.

Muck boots as well.  They run true to size.  Lacross tend to run a size or two smaller than marked.  My insulated Mucks actually get too warm walking to and from stands.  Nice and toasty on stand though.

I bought a pair of Muck Wetland boots last year. With a good pair of wool socks, I have been comfortable down into the low teens.

After owning 5 pairs of Lacrosse burly`s, I was talked into buying the Muck boots WoodyMax. I will never buy another pair of burly`s.

Your feet dont sweat in the mucks so they stay warmer, they are lighter & more comfy, & it doesnt take 2 men & a small boy to get them off & on.

I bought a size larger & when it gets real cold, I slip the chemical whole foot warmers inder the liner & you can sit in really cold weather & be comfortable. I used them exclusively all thru late season last year without a problem. I got mine at Sportsmans warehouse.
