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

Mickey Mouse boots are boots with an oversized toe area, giving more room for the toes, and more room for socks. If yu ever see an old Mickey mouse cartoon, you'll know.
I once had a Scout troop in Northern Illinois and we used to camp out all winter. A number of the boys didn't come from affluent families. I had them get oversized overshoes, (the 4-5 buckle type). Then had them layer socks until they had a good fit. Those kids were out in the snow and cold all day and not one case of cold feet. The biggest thing is, Don't get boots that are too snug, go oversize. Your feet need the breathing room. Stylish boots are not for the woods.
