cold feet
#1
ok so ive been having this trend lately where i stay warm except my feet freeze. i wear wool socks, thensome other synthetic blend sock then my boots, either some supposed -40 farenheit pac boots, or some 1600 gram thinsulate rubber boots. either way my toes are ice cubes after a few hours in the stand. any suggestions? fleece socks maybe? i wear at least on layer of fleece everywhere else and i stay warm. if i stick a footwarmer deal in there it solves the problem for say six hours but during an all day hunt whats a guy to do?

Are your boots nice and loose so your circulation is good? If so you might try some of those big insulated material boots, I don't know what they are called. You slip your regular boots off and put them on when you get in your stand.

LaCrosse makes some very warm pac boots that you might want to look into. The IceMans are advertised with a cold temp rating from-45 to -80. They also have the IceKings which are suppose to be rated for -80 to -150 degrees. I've had a pair of the IceKings for ten years now and my feet have never got cold with them. Already this year I've hunted in single digit temps with twenty mph winds and my feet stayed nice and warm.

Well, whats really happening is,your feet are sweating on your walk in
and when you stop on stand they get cold. Try spraying an antipersperant
on your feet non sented of course. Helps me hope the same 4 you.
