RE: How much insulation does a boot need?
800grams, polyproplene socks or liners and merino wools over top works for me. If I sit I'll untie my tops on the boots and wiggle the toes. Booty blankets, sleeping bag and hot hands can add additional comfort for the stand or blind hunter. I agree that feet are only one part of the equation, head, hands and torso also need to be kept warm - stay away from cotton against the skin.
