I bought a pair of Rocky rubber boots with a zipper on the side that goes 2/3 of the way down the boot. This makes for easy on and off. They have 1000 grams of insulation and have a very aggressive tread. I wear them from the beginning of archery season till the end (Sept thru mid Nov.) I wear Cabelas Ultimax Liner socks with a pair of Ultimax med. or heavy wt. socks. They do any excellent job of wicking the perspiration away. I bought the boots at Cabelas but I'm not sure they are handling Rocky rubber boots at the present. To sum this all up, I am very pleased with the comfort and warmth of this combination.
