Guys thanks for all the replys. I have Lacrosse boots and love them but in cold weather they could stand to be warmer. I'm going to have a good pair of packs before next season .

I have a pair of irish setters waterproof and light.
And a pair of icebreakers boot blankets.  When I'm on the move my feet don't get cold, and when I'm still I put the blankets on and I can sit all day -20.

I have a pair of the Rocky Blizzard Stalkers. 1000 or 1200 grams of insulation. I've sat a stand all day in single digits and had no problem. The addition of some Toasty Toes once I get to my spot is good insurance as well.

Baffin Bay Expedition. Light, water proof, warm.
They use them in Antartica.

I lived in the arctic circle for 7 years.  I put 3000-5000 miles a year on a snow machine hunting and trapping and I like the bunny boots.  Sometimes my feet got a little cold at -54, but most of the time they worked great.  They are not very tall, but a guy can use gators.  They are waterproof, and less expensive than the other fancy pancy boots.  You can pick up used ones for $50-$60.  Best of luck.

I have never ever had my feet think of getting cold in my black military Mickey Mouse boots.  Hunted for hours on end this week end in negative below zero degree weather and nothing but totally warm feet. Bought them at a military surplus store years ago--some of the best money I ever spent on hunting gear.

I have Steger Camuks and like them a lot! They have rubberized leather lowers that are waterproof. The upper is a camo water resistant material.  They are quiet, light and extremely warm. I use them when the temps drop and the snow flies. They are like wearing slippers in the woods, comfortable!

I have lived in Northern Minnesota, North Dakota all my life except for my 3 yrs of military life.  Then I spent almost three years in Alaska.

Bunny boots were good, and I actually like a pair of Columbia boots unless the thermometer really drops.  If I am still-hunting in the cold, a good pair of running shoes with rubber overshoes over them works quite well.

I finally bought a pair of Muck insulated boots that do work pretty well also.

If I had to choose one for really cold weather it would be the bunny boots.

This ins't a boot suggestion but the boots are only as good as the sock you put on your feet.  Sometime a crappy pair of boots is because the wearer uses crappy socks.  I have used $200 boots -30 rated and had my feet freeze out.  Proper wicking socks with a wool or wool blend over sock works best for me.  Once I figured this out I haven't needed anything with higher than 800 gram thinsulate.  I have hunted in a duck blind in negatives as well as the deer stand.

I grew up and lived 20+ years in the interior of Alaska.  You won't find boots any warmer than bunny boots, and waterproof too.  I've worn them at -30 predator calling in January....all day snowmachining a trapline.
  They are not the greatest for walking long distances, but if warm is what you want, look no further.


 

I now live in the Fiji Islands and am presently wearing flip-flops.

I really like the looks of the CUMUKS ,but they have no heel and the ground would fly up to hit me in the butt  here in Appalachia. Keep the suggestions coming this has been educational to say the least

Where do you get bunny boots? I have a problem with cold feet even with wool liners and socks.

Keeping the Faith!

jack,

Depending upon how "cold of weather" you hunt in. I have a pair of LaCrosse, ICE Kings, they are so warm I can stand on a frozen lake in them barefoot.

there are also a pair of Green Pacs LaCrosse sold or used to sell called the ICE Man, they are not quite as bulky as the ice kings but a good design.

[BCD]

The bunny boots are very warm, but they are also EXTREMELY heavy. The LaCrosse Icemans are pretty nice too.

I love my camuks!!

I live in the wilds of Michigan. For cold weather hunting I wear WOOL and Steger Mukluks
