Title: Late season boots
Post by: jstone on December 12, 2019, 01:16:05 PM: What are your favorite late season hunting boots? Nothing to bulky. Something that you can walk lots of miles up and down hills and be comfortable and dry.
Maybe some good Sox to.

I was in 24 below this year and never was cold. Many times I will put one of those toe warmers inside, I stick them on the "roof" of the boot, not on the sole, it really helps, especially with kids.

Perfect for when I was hiking and if I was going to be sitting longer than 20-30 minutes, I put on my arctic shield boot covers. Wouldn't say my feet were toasty but never really got cold.

Feet got cold and it took a hot shower at home to warm back up. I also have Sorrel conquests and those do good but suck for hiking. Got rid of my Muck -40 boots. Those were no good in the 0 and below range and I have no idea why when everyone says they’re so great. Also no good for hiking.

Initially I wasn't sure how I was going to like them since they are stiffer than any boot I had owned. I tried a few things and after reading up on different lacing styles and also putting in superfeet, I really like them

I got mine on sale online. Read tons of reviews about how people felt about the sizing and mine were true to size.

I have a pair and love them. Comfortable warm and can hike in them. Durability is real good so far.

:yeah:
Can only wear them when the snow falls. Keep my feet toasty.
