First winter for me in Keen's, like Rob W.says - with the thickest Smartwool sock. Very light, excellent support, good traction and friction, very comfortable. Hasn't been cold so far, but wearing these with temps in the 20's, my feet were really warm, and my feet usually get cold easily.

Wore Sorel's for the previous 25 years or so.

A bathroom rug or piece of carpet on your tree stand platform. Make sure you carry it out or fold it backwards if you expect freezing weather.

You live in Florida? How cold you talking about? The cold weather boot I'd recommend might be bit of overkill for ya -150 works great but ya might sweat a little in Florida in them.The Lacrosse snow king or the Cabelas Iditarod boot is also excellent. They are big boots but comfortable down to -50 or so the -150 rating is a liitle far fetched as most ratings.

Avoid rubber boots as they do not let the sweat/moisture to escape and moisture sppeds cooling to a degree. Find a pac boot that you like with removable liners and get an extra set of liners. A boot with a pack liner and good wool socks and you can sit all day.

If you really need WARM boots for sitting on the stand.  Any of the Mukluk style boots would work.  Either those for mushing dogs or those that have been mentioned above for hunting.

living in the south I rarely need insulated boots with only a few exceptions. So I bought some socks that have toe pockets for Hot Hands Warmers.  Does the Job perfectly.

The weather here is very similar to your weather I'm sure. My feet get cold below 30. I went with the Schnees with the felt liner and a merino wool sock. Perfect.

First thing to do is go out and buy a spray antiperspirant and spray your feet. Not a deoderant but an antiperspirant.Our feet sweat even in cold temperatures and makes it difficult to keep warm. Dry feet are easier to keep warm.

Gosh, it should not take too much insulation to stay warm in FL.  How cold does it get?  

I'm thinking any boot with 400  -  800 of thinsulite will keep you warm.  A good fit with breathable waterproof and wool socks probably do it.

Yeah I'm with Dave. Florida? Warm boots?  He's from Canada, I can see him only needing  flipflops if he was down there even on those chilly 65 degree days.

I found I can get by with rubber boots here in OK. as long as I do not walk too far and wear a good wool sock.

I think the wool sock it the most important thing to keep your feet warm.

The best boots with a wet cotton sock will not do you much good.
