I got tired of cold feet. Finally got a pair of Cabelas 2000 grain thinsulate Cabelas boots. I wear a pair of Merlino wool socks with a pair of polypropylene socks and my feet finally stay warm.

Spray your feet with unscented anti-perspirant before putting on your socks. Keeps your feet from sweating as much so the socks stay dryer and your feet warmer.

A few years back there was a thread with a link to a website that sold heated insoles for boots.  You just replaced the insole in the boot with these and you could wear whatever boot you wanted.  The battery was somewhere in the insole and rechargeable.  They also had a thermostat; they would turn on when your foot temp was below 96 and turn off when it got to 96.  I can't remember the name of them but maybe someone else remembers.  They were $100 and I didn't buy them but would like to if I can figure out where to get them.

My sorels are for sitting only, very cluky to walk in, but -40 in wet feet (fallen through the ice and feet stayed nice and toasty.  I sit and hunt in -30 many times for up to 5 hours at a time and these boots work great.  They are very high end sorels.

I agree with a moderate boot and the boot blankets for sitting on stand, however, I do own a pair of the Schnees pac boots made for the coldest weather and they are great! I would guess the Kenetrek models are just the same. They are super warm, comfortable and well made...

I had a pair of 10" Kenetrek grizzly packs. Excellant boot, but not worth a hoot in the cold. Might work for a warm blooded person, but for me...no good! I go with a Muck Woody Max! JMHO!
