I've been wearing Red Head "bone dry" non insullated rubber boots - its usually warm here in NC. During the cold days I'll break out the Irish Setter 1200.

During the 07 bow season, I got in my stand after work. It was the last 90 minutes of daylight and it was raining. Just before sunset a small button buck came wandering in milling around in the leaves.After 5 minutes hewalk directly to the base of my stand, nose to the ground. He got a whiff of my track and jumped about ten feet. He was extremely nervous and kept his nose to the sky looking to validate his previous finding. The wind was in my favor but he slowly and nervously existed the area. Since that experience, I've had less confidence in rubber boots.
