[QUOTE="Jud96, post: 2674412, member: 69478"] Hey guys, I’ve decided I want to get a nice pair of cold weather boots for Michigan hunting season next year. I have a pair of cheap Sportsman’s Guide boots now that are warm, but they’re not that comfortable and very bulky. I do some walking (2 miles or less) when hunting and travel some mild terrain with mostly flat ground and some little hills. For the most part I’m still hunting for morning and evening hunts but I’d still like them to be comfortable enough to walk some distance and cover some hills. Temperatures are usually around 20-40 degrees for deer season here so nothing extremely cold or warm. I have a pair of Thorogood lace up Mac toe boots now that are waterproof and are awesome for walking even in deer season. They’re just not insulated so wouldn’t be a good choice for sitting hours at a time. I have my eyes on a few boots, but I'm debating how much insulation I'll need, and which of these some of you may have experience with. I haven’t tried any of these boots on, but I’ve been looking at Schnee Hunter II and their Extreme Pac boots, Rocky Elk Stalkers, and Danner Trophy or Canadians. All of these are 1000g of insulation, except the Schnee Hunters which are 400g. My feet don’t seem to get that cold, so I’m not sure if I’ll actually need 1000gr of insulation, but I don’t want to spend the money and get something with not enough insulation and get cold feet. These are also all USA made and that matters to me. I want a quality pair of boots that will last many seasons that are comfortable and keep me warm and dry. Having said all of that, what are your opinions and are there any other boots I should look into? These are all in the $350-380 range except the Rocky’s which are $250-275. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
