La Crosse Ice Kings boots & heavy Merino wool socks 1 pair & I dry my boots after every use, have sat in -25 for up to 3 hours with out any problem with feet, main problem is hands when getting down & walking back to car with stand.
I use the boot blankets. Best money I ever spent for cold weather!! They're a bit bulky, and not made to walk in, but they have saved a load of hunts for me.
Keeping my feet from sweating is my biggest nemesis. If I can do that I won't have a bit of problem even down in the coldest temps. Lately I don't put my boots on till I get to where I hunt and I try hard to walk slowly in. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. I notice the earlier I get there the better job I do no sweating. I have even thought about just wearing my tennis shoes to the stand then putting my boots on when I get there. But then I would have to do something about my tennis shoes scent wise. Not too mention if it's a really dewey or rainy morning. Haven't thought about it much though.
yOU CAN GET UNSCENTED SPRAY-ON DEODERANT AND SPRAY YOUR FEET BEFORE YOU LEAVE THE HOUSE. i LEARNED THIS ON HERE AND IT WORKS WELL.
As I've aged, I've found I get cold quicker and stay cold longer. My solution was 1,600 gram thinsulate Rockies and I insert two small handwarmers between my sweatsock and a heavy sock. Good for all day in the stand. I've not found a toe heater that will last all day. My daughter likes the boot blankets with a hand warmer stuffed inside.
Having just experienced this, I'll be putting the hot hands packs in my boots and laying socks, along with making sure my boots are dry. Definitely want some winter boots if we get the late tag next year. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I wear a pair of 1000 gram Rocky boots with a pair of wool socks. And to prove to you how well they keep my feet warm I sat 11 hours yesterday, sun up to sun down, and the warmest it got up to was 25. The first thing on my body to ever get cold is always my feet but I've finally found the right pair of boots.
