Pac boots?

[Stickerbush]

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.

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.
