For most of my life I used just a simple pair of uninsulated northerner rubber boots and my socks are what changed with the seasons. Now I use the original muck boots and do the same.

I'll go through 5 pair of those before my old Northerners ever wear out but they are very comfortable.

Ive yet to find a pair of boots that you can walk a mile in then climb up in a tree and sit for 5 hours and your feet keep warm.

Anything warm enough to sit still in my feet sweat while walking then get cold when I sit and anything not warm enough to make my feet sweat when I walk isn't warm enough to sit so it just doesn't work for me.

So 2 things

1. I just deal with it
or
2. I have to wear light boots/socks in and pack in heavy dry boots/socks to put on while sitting.

Anyway that is my experience....easy to stay warm sitting and easy to stay warm walking but very difficult to stay warm walking then sitting. Wicking socks help a lot.
