Warm rubber boot for deer stand hunting?
#22
i go with muck boots. my dad has it bad in the cold cause his feet always sweat so he just wears on pair of socks walking out and then puts on a new pair when he gots to the stand (that is kept in his bag or if he need them warm there in his in most layer of colthes) and if he plains on staying out all day he has more if his feet get sweaty again.

Theres always another option that I personally like. I wear the Lacrosse Alpha Burly and then when I get to my stand i wear boot blankets. Artic shield also makes a more compact version. THe boot blankets do the trick for me.

I have Cabela's 1200 gram insulated rubber boots. My feet still get cold so i use toasty toes if cold out and if really really cold out i use 2 toaty toes on each foot. However I dont have to travel very far to my stands like you guy have to. The only prob with these boots is they are a tight fit on some of the climber stands.

Has anyone mentioned military "Micky Mouse" boots? They are the warmest boots I own. Too warm for walking. I only use them while stand hunting when temps are below freezing.

My opinion
is irregardless if the temperature is the same, while walking and standing, the reality is it gets "colder" for your feet and body, when just sitting in one place.
I had a "freezing" problem when I arrived in San Francisco and had to go to the store, years ago. I had a much heavier winter coat on and the employee asked if I was sick. No, I said, I had driven through the 112 temperature in the Mohave desert at noon, and my body hadn't adjusted to the change. He knew exactly what I meant
And if the feet sweat on your hike to the stand, frozen feet are the only option to await in cold weather.
