Extreme Cold weather boots

[Jack Whitmire Jr]

Ok you guys from the cold places like Wisconsin,Minnesota and such , what kind of extreme cold weather boots do you like ? I'm looking for a boot to ocassionally ground blind hunt in, to kick around in and basically have a real cold weather boot. I'm looking at sorel felt boots and Kamik . Any other suggestions ? Were is Al Gore's global warming

I live in the northern lower penninsula of Michigan. We get plenty of cold.

I wear the LaCrosse "Burly" knee high, insulated, rubber boots. For all but the coldest days, these work great for me. I use a boot dryer to keep the moisture out (a MUST DO). When the temps fall to near zero, I simply put one of those disposable handwarmers in the toe of each boot, and my feet are actually too warm. These boots are less bulky than most other cold weather boots.

I used to wear pac boots, but I have found using the little handwarmers a great alternative.

People always ask me..."aren`t your feet cold?"
Nope...toasty.

The "white" mickey mouse(military) are no doubt the best for sitting  , high end LaCrosse felt liners are excellent - most extreme weather boots will be heavier but are worth their weight as far as that goes . Felt lined boots are more comfortable , the 2 you mentioned I would skip over their are much better boots out there .

Ill second the Mickey Mouse boots the military uses.

The white ones are "Bunny Boots", black are "Mickey Mouse" and not as good.  I bought a pair for my muskox hunt and no hint of cold at -35 with massive winds.

I've been wearing Schnee's boots for about twenty years or so and I really like the Extreme pac boot for real cold weather. The Schnee's boot hugs your foot and ankle, and also provides good support.

The bunny boots look to be short and snow would get down in them , is this true ?

Thanks for the replys guys.

I'm from Montana.  The late season whitetail hunting can be brutal, especially the past two years.

Anyhow, I use the Sorel Pacs w/felt liner.  My feet never got cold once.  The worst weather I hunted was -15 below (degrees F) for a three day duration.  The snow was knee high in alot of places.  I mixed it up with doing some walking but mainly sitting.  The boots are comfortable, but most important very warm.

[LONGSTYKES]

Schnee's are the best, I have three pairs. My feet never get cold. The knee highs  are best for horseback hunts. Good luck Don

Lacrosse Icemans's work for me, hours on stand, -10 degrees, toasty warm feet! DK.

Forgot to mention, NorthCentral SouthDakota...COLD...BRRR!!

I've tried most of them and the military bunny boots are the best.  I worked missle security in the Air Force in Montana in the 70's and this issue boot was comfy in that -30 weather.  Other parts of your body would chill before your toes.

Most cold weather boots will keep you warm if you're moving, but only one stands out for me if you're sitting.

Blackhawk,

I worked the missile security from 1986 to 2001 in Montana also.  I was issued a pair of dark green sorrels and White bunny boots.  There is no comparison.  Those bunny boots are awesome.  Ken

Before next season, I will be getting some of the -40 rated Muck Boots. My wife has a pair and she of the ice cold feet swears by them.

[Sharptop]

Are the black micky mouse ones almost as warm as the white bunny boots or do you think you could paint the white ones camo?

[AKCrazyhorse]

I've got the black MM's and I've yet to have a problem.  I hate cold feet and have had a history of being colder than "the next guy".  I've hunted down to -45 and not had any problem.  The white ones may be warmer but I don't see myself needing them.

[Blackhawk]

The black ones are lighter, maybe a bit more practical in some hunt situations, and ALMOST as warm...and certainly worthy of consideration.

[Kapellmeister]

Here's another option... very warm, very light, and quiet like a moccasin... but NOT waterproof...
