Depends on the application in my opinion. I wear mucks during bow season, but once gun season starts, the snow falls, and the temp drops into the teens I wear a pack boot. Had a pair of Rocky's, my feet still froze while still hunting, but I suspect I have poor circulation. Bought a pair of Sorel Glaciers this year, my feet don't get cold anymore. Not sure how good they would be for scent control, and I am guessing I won't want to hike around all day in them.
