Here's the deal, I'm looking for one pair of boots to wear for all kinds of hunting, Warm and cold. Not sure if I wanna go tie ups or rubbers. Budget is about 120 bucks. Go.
I have a pair of Wolverines and a pair of cabelas brand with goretex and thinsulate insulation, either 600 or 800 gram. My feet have never been wet in either of them. I also have a pair of rubber boots, but when it gets too cold out I have to go with the other boots. The rubbers I have just aren't very warm.
I think your looking for something that is not there. What I would do, buy a cheap pair of rubbers for early season and spend the money for a good late season boot.
merrell continuum. best boots ever. they are comfortable and waterproof and keep your feet warm. and they're only 100 bucks
Rubbers for bowhunting and short cold weathers sits. And a good 600-800 goretex boot for the rest. If u could only have 1 get a 800 gram goretex boot.
Have you ever actually hiked around in an 800 gram boot? Way to hot for early season. Sent from my ADR6350 using Tapatalk 2
I just bought a pair of Muck Fieldblazer boots on sale at Cabelas for $85. The comfort range is supposed to be from 70F to -20F but I wore them today for the first time in 65F degree weather and my feet were sweating. They are comfortable and lightweight but I think they would be too much for early season/unseasonably warm temps (like today in central IL). Wearing wool socks with them also was a bad idea (not sure what I was thinking). So far, I am happy with them but I have yet to test them in cold weather.
I wear my 800 grain irish setters for turkey hunting in the spring and also to scout in most of the time, not a problem at all. I've sat out in 30 degree days with nothing more than a regular pair of socks... No problems at all, but they're more than 120
One pair just doesn't cut it for me...I wear a pair of woody max for most of my stand hunting, but when the temps drop they aren't warm enough for long sits ...I then usually throw a pair of hot mocs over them. If its really cold I wear a pair of danner pronghorns 1000 gram... I have a a couple other pairs that i wear for mountain hunts and in other situations. Do all boots just done exist in my book.

I use LaCrosse uninsulated, but I hunt in LA. We rarely get to the low 30's if its cold I just wear thermal socks. I have never had my feet get too cold that I couldn't stand it. They run $40-60 insulated alpha's around $100-150 Brandon T. www.cajuntiedowns.com
I'm thinking about a full size leather zip up, insulated probably 800. What do you all think about that?
I have Danner Pronghorns in 800 and 1200. Best boots I've ever owned and worth every penny Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2
I dont know much about zip up's honestly man boots are like everything els in this world. I where two dif. boots in the 40deg and up I have a pair of Asolo GTX only because of i have had them for 3 year and used them on 2 deployments in the mountains. and in the winter i have a Pair of Rocky's because they are awesome for the winter and water proofness. but man just go to a boot retailer and try a bunch on, see what feels good. for all seasion idk what your winters are like 600-800g insalation will do you just fine. just water proof, and a nice pair of socks and youll be fine.
