[QUOTE="mcnanysa, post: 2341572, member: 115008"] First, my feet have always been cold. My hands take a close second. Now that I'm on blood thinners, my feet really suffer. We just went goose hunting this past weekend and I wasn't sure I was going to make it back to the truck since I couldn't feel my toes. I can vouch for the Muck Arctic Sport boots. I like them for stand hunting or stalking, snow blowing the driveway, etc. They're tall enough to keep your calf warm, which keeps the blood that flows around your ankle warm, which lets your feet stay warmer longer. For some reason, the insulation does "break down" over the years, so you'll need to replace them. I think I'm going on 10 years with my current pair, and they're due to be replaced. Second recommendation is the Rocky Gear #7454. They've got 1200 grams of Thinsulate in them. Downside, I can't wear them unless the temperature is below 25F (they are that warm). They're a stiff, almost pack-like boot, but they are the warmest boots I've ever owned. When temps get around zero or below, my feet getting cold is my last concern. I've had several pairs of "K Sorels" over the years, and I prefer the Rocky's. I'll end with one last recommendation: regardless of your final boot choice : always take an extra pair of socks. They don't take up much room in your pack, and dry feet in warm boots will make for a much more pleasant experience. With the Muck boots, I've hiked into my stand in other boots, changed my socks, then put on the Mucks, and sat all day without an issue (temps varying from 20-35). [/QUOTE]
