    Hello all,
    I love to hunt late season, Archery or ML, But have always had problems with Cold Feet, untill this year, I bought a Pair of Cabela's Inferno 2000 Pac Boots, and after trying several Brands these are my chooice, I hunt in some cold weather this weekend and I am here to tell you these Boots are the Best Boots I have owned, Now I would'nt want to wear them in temps in the 20's I am talking Cold weather where you have to sit on stand for several Hours, I normaling stay all day Dark to Dark, and My Feet never got Cold at all, You se I have always had problem with some Cirulation problems, Not any More, They are a around 150 Bucks but shop when they are on sale and Get them at a better price. I give them a 9.5 Rating.

    That would never work for me. Been there... Done it..... My feet would sweat so bad on the way in my feet would be frozen within a couple hours. I spent a lot of time in and cash figuring out works best for me.

    So here it is: liner sock, heavey weight wool socks, 400 - 800 gram insulated boot. I buy this boot one size bigger than normal. This is key, tight boots equal cold feet. You need the extra room for the heavey sock. For a all day sit once I am in the stand I will lossen my laces and slide on boot blankets (Artic Sheild XL). Drop in hot hand warmers if needed.

    The important thing to understand about the Artic Sheild is you need to put them on before your feet are cold!

    yeah those boots wouldn't work for me. I wear a liner sock and then depending on temp I will vary with my next sock type and go with either a 400 or 800 muck boot.

    try muck polar boots...mid cut....use for ice fishing, too. Also, try the scent- free stick deodorant on your bare feet before putting your socks on. Sounds goofy, but you're feet won't get clammy! I've seen someone else post this on here this fall, so I'm not the only weirdo doing it;)

    I use scent free spray on anti perspirant and know many others that do too. It's not as weird as you think. Learned that is't best to start doing this daily about a month before. You can also soak your feet in strong black tea to help stop the sweating. Do that daily until you notice that your feet don't sweat asa much and then you can go to every other or third day.

    Got that one from a buddy who drives truck...
