[QUOTE="5.56×250, post: 2347421, member: 110162"] I've found loose fitting lightweight hiking boots , loose fitted with regular old socks worked for 99% of Ga weather , ie down to 25* or so. I used to buy boots with 400gr thinsulate, then 800, then 1000. My feet always froze . After I started having conversations with boot reps, I figured out I was just building sweat boxes for my feet. I just quit worrying about insulation all together. Light hikers , loose fit, with decent socks , loose fit, gave me the light insulation for the walk in and were warm enough for the sit. Oh course, here in GA, it almost always warms up well above freezing within a few hours. Im sure I would have to give more thought to colder climes, but the theory is sound for almost all situations . Just use the minimum recommended insulation and good socks . [/QUOTE]
