Anyone have any good or bad experiences with these?  Just spent a week in Colorado and had cold toes with 400 gram boots with smart wool socks and liners.

Make sure your boots are at least 1/2 size large

Use antiperspirant on feet to keep dry

Stick a mineral-based  toe warmer pad on top of your sock above toes - they are good for half a day.  Theses are the toe warmers you see in sportsmans everywhere.

300rum:
Stick the foot warmer to the top of the toe box of your boot, it will work better and won't ruin your sock.

400gr boots are great for Octoberish weather type hunting, when temps get just around freezing or so.  You want to go with 1000gr if you are in the teens/low teens (or worse) all day, hunting slowly.

Yeah we tried using those feet warmers. There were three of us and those didn't work much at all. We even tried using two for each foot. One under and one over the foot. No go. 13 degrees in snow is cold especially when you're glassing all day.

Weird.   Were they old?  You should feel heat when you put them on.  Two per boot should of roasted you.

In Iowa tree stands we slip these on.
