Default RE: What's a good hunting boot for cold temperatures?

You can get boots with 1600 grams of thinsulate for insulation by a variety of boot makers:Rocky, Irish Setter, cabelas & so on. I personally wear Irish Setters now(but have used Rocky, Danner, Columbia, etc in the past) mine are 800 grams of thinsulate, gortex booty, rubber bottom and leather/cudora uppers. I wear them during hunting, ice fishing and all other winter sports where the temp can get -40 c up here. I couple my boots with a polyproplene sock(moisture wicking) and good wools over top. Make sure you have room to wiggle your toes with the heavier socks on, obviously not to loose due to needing to walk comfortably. If your feet sweat IME it is better to buy a boot with less insulation and change your socks appropriately. However if this is not the case for you you could look to the 1000+ boots.

Boot blankets would be another solution to look into for sitting.
