Default RE: best boots in the cold

ORIGINAL: madboarman

it doesn't matter bro, spend 5 bucks to 200000 bucks on a pair of boots with 999999 thenselate and 5 inch of thick cotton laced inside, your toes are still going to get cold. I've been there done that and have the pic. I worn the "best" boots with literally 4 pair of socks and my feet still froze, the best thing is to just deal with the pain.
Your comments show you maybe aren't the most experienced in keeping your feet warm and not a good source of advice. Cotton socks - four pair. Cotton are exactly the wrong socks and if you put four pair into a pair of boots, most likely your feet were packed in there like sardines - without good movement and circulation.

There are boots that literally will keep your feet very comfortable for many, many hours at -20F and colder with just a thin wool sock inside. I've used them! They are the white "vapor barrier" boots. (aka, bunny boots, mickey mouse boots). I bought a pair of Cabelas for my brother - rated to something ridiculous like -80 and having worn them at around 0, I'm absolutely sure they're warmer than my VB boots and much lighter. So your advice isn't good. You're probably joking anyway and I apologize for being humor impaired.
