Here's the best deal I have ever tried: you get a set of those Arctic Shield boot blankets, only you get them the right size to fit over your socks with the regular hunting boots off. For me, with a size 13 foot, I got the size 9 boot blankets. Get in the stand, remove regular hunting boots, get the Heat toe warmers going next to your socks; and then pull the Arctic Shield boot blankets on and enjoy. Muffin warm.
I'll have to try that. I can get a small pair from my buddy's son to experiment with.
Today I tried on a pair of the cabelas predator boots. Very comfy to me. I wanted to try the infernos, but my store didn't have my size on the floor. they didn't have the lacrosse ones either. I'll have to go to a couple other stores to try them on before I make a decision. My overall goal is to find something that is somewhat tolerable to still hunt in, and also stand hunt. The weirdest thing about is, is that my hands dont' bother me at all. I can hunt bare handed down to about 30 degrees and not be bothered at all. IN the 20's I hunt with the stretchy gloves with tiny grippy dots. Go figure. I guess 3 winters in the pa mountains on a survey crew helped me there. So it's not like I have a circulation problem, or my core body temp is dropping. My feet just sweat, no matter what I wear/don't wear, they get damp, and then once it gets below 30, I'm done. And if I change my footwear at the stand, and expose them to cold, I might as well go home right there.
