Two questions

1. Are pack boots more ideal for hiking than insulated rubber boots or muck type boots? Seems like a 1200 gram rubber boot is a lot cheaper
2. What is the comparison of pac boots to say a 400 gram thinsulate?

Pac boots like the Schnee's are better, in my opinion, because they lace up and provide better support. The Schnee's have a liner made of thinsulate and wool felt. Mine are very warm. he have a model that also has thinsulate molded into the rubber foot part of the boot. I have a pair of Muck boots that I like, a lot, but if there's a bunch of hiking in the day, it's the Schnee's hands down.

From a support standpoint, rubber boots that I've worn have none. These include Muck boot type boots.

My hiking/hunting boots are 400gm thinsulate. Pac boots that are truly pac boots are way warmer.

I bought a pair of the schnees hunter 13" packboot recently. Last weekend I put them to the test on a hunt. We hiked over 6 miles in pretty steep terrain. My feet stayed warm. With hardly any sweating, and the support on the feet and ankles were great. Very comfortable boot.
Happiness is being in the woods!!!

I have the schees in both std and 1000 gr thinsulate. I prefer to hike in my Kennetreks and stick the heat pak toe warmers on if its really cold out or sitting a lot. Use schees for riding horses, stands , and camp chores.

Love my Schnee's broke them in on an Kodiak Brown Bear hunt.
The only man who never makes a mistake, is the man who never does anything!!
The further one goes into the wilderness, the greater the attraction of its lonely freedom.
