I have a pair of ankle high and a pair of 8 inch Hi Tech leather insulated waterproof boots. I have been using them for 5 or 6 years and I have yet to get cold feet while on stand. I wear the ankle high more than the 8 inch boots. In high snow and for turkey I wear a pair of Cabelas rubber camo boots that have light insulation in them. I have hunted in some cold wet weather and walked across streams in the leather boots and never had cold or wet feet while on stand.
