I've had a pair of Browning 2000 grain thinsulate for 2 years now. They started leaking right around my small toe (where it bends) late last year. Although they kept my feet very warmin the tree stand, it was getting there that was hard because they are a real heavy boot. I couldn't walk very far in them because of the weight. I'll bet they have to weigh at least6pounds each.I too have a real problem keeping my feet warm. I've tried many different ways without much success. My feet sweat and it tough to keep my feet warm while sitting in a tree stand for more than 4 hours in 10-20 degree temperatures. I have been leaning towards buying a pair of muck boots this year.
when i walk into my stand in cold,i wear a very light pair of socks with my lacroose burlys..
this way my feet dont sweat.
i get to stand, i take those socks off and put on my LADIES HOSIRY SOCK.those short ones your gals use, dont laugh,i had warm feet at work too at 10 below.
then i put my WOOL socks on..
if its real windy and cold, i bring in those insulated pull on socks that go over your boots, they work..
SWEATING is what causes your feet to get cold,i have friends that wear sneakers into stand in morning carrying their rubber boots..
i am going to try electric socks again this year if it gets cold..
if your feet are cold,it will ruin your day, if not, you can sit all day....
