RE: Foot wear
GregH, I also have poor circulation. I was hit on my motorcycle (1988 drunk driver) my right leg below the knee was barley hanging on by the skin[:'(]. They borrowed a artery from left leg. Now I have two arteries running to each foot instead of three. Just about any boots I wear I need toastie toes. But I may look at a couple of the last boots you mentioned. Do you remembered what you payed for the Rocky Blizzard Stalkers and Lacrosse Icemans? Never wanted to spend a lot on a boot to find out they didn't work. I have an older pair of lacrosse with a thick wool liner, not sure how many grains but still need the warmers.
thanks

RE: Foot wear
Northerner uninsulated rubber boots, Rocky Rampage uninsulated, and Wolverine 600 gram boots for cold weather. Combine the Wolverines with 2 pair of wool socks when its really cold and I am good.

I just got a pair of LaCrosse Alpha Burly sports. Fleece lining and no Thinsulate. I was nice and warm with wool socks Saturday AM when the temps were in the mid 20s. Pretty cold for here.

RE: Foot wear
GregH, I dont know if you have tried this but i wear a pair of liner socks under my thick hunting socks. They have them at walmart. They are realtree brand, and im sure they have other brands. They are only like $3. They are like wearing a dress sock. very thin, but wick away moisture. I have bad circulation as well so when i walk in they absorb any moisture and put it away from your feet. Just thought I would throw it out there.
