Warmest Boots, which are best?

[catdozer]

Just wondering what you have for warmest boots in winter? I have muck boots which are pretty good. But is there better?

I have my cat fart in my boots before I put them on and it keeps me warm. Gives a whole new meaning to stink foot too.

Cat dozer you have opened a can of worms. What is the purpose for which you need these boots?? I have several pairs for different reasons. I have a pair of Muck Boots artic boots that are all I wear around home, I have just bought a pair of Dakota T-Max for work that will be good to about -30 and from the I go to Sorels that help the toes stay warm till -100.

Well the muck boots now are good for just Warmth but when you start walking in them they get very sore. And just thinking of a nice comfortable pair for going hunting, and shoveling snow. I just got a new pair of Ski-Doo snowmobiling boots on order, maybe those will work. And going to -100 is out of my range!!!!

I like the "mickey mouse" army artic type boots.

Are you talking the brand name Muck Boots or some knock off( no offence)??? I would walk everywhere in mine and sometimes I do!! I have a pair of LaCrosse hunting boots, they are a fancy rubber boot that are good for cool weather maybe even shoveling snow( I have done that in them)

Used to be Sorels, IMHO.

But they moved south. Err,,, way western south.

I have three sets of boots. My shoe size is 11. The one on the right are probably 20 year old Sorrels - my everyday boots. I don't even wear socks with them. They are always by the door. The middle one are the ones I bought a few years ago - my dress boots. The pair on the left are Cabelas good to -100F. They aren't walking boots because they are heavy and have so much insulation in the bottom, it feels like walking in soft sand, but if you are standing around in the winter, they keep your toes toasty.

Yep genuine muck boots chore style. We have been laying drainage tile and following the trencher gets to be quite a bit of walking. and now it's just become very sore to just walk in them. I'm going to the grain elevator to pick up a new pair today. Since I've maybe worn them out, and fitting the low profile pair.

Sorel with the removable liners, very warm because the felt wicks away moister.
Can tromp through the snow all day and my feet are warm. They won't break the bank either, I have owned 600 dollar filson, Herman survivors, you name it, the Sorels are the warmest.

Make sure you treat the uppers and they will last for years.

I got some sorels like your -100 Cabelas. They are the warmest I've ever owned and they seem to be pretty light. Even in size 10 they are very big though and I don't drive with them, although the seem to be OK on my tractor. It has to be below -10C before I use them otherwise your feet just sweat the whole time... Normally I use my regular sorels which are fine for a couple hours outside with any sort of activity.

Depending on the weather, I use either my Scott Snowmobile boots or my Salomon Scramble boots.

It'a rare that it gets below -25C here, so those pretty much cover it for me. haven't had an excuse to wear either this year

Good for sitting still and not doing much

Good for active use: shovelling etc.

Winterfootwear.com has a great selection of really extreme winter boots. The Baffin brand has various models rated down to -148F! I got the Selkirk model ("only" rated to -94F) and have been pleased. Really good grip on ice.

Insulated boots with porous liners (like felt) have to be kept dry to remain effective. Whatever type of boot you get, you have to either put it on a dryer rack (we have them over our forced-air heat ducts) or remove the liner periodically to dry them. I have a collection of liners salvaged from years of worn-out boots that I use to switch-out when one set is drying.

I have a pair of LaCrosse boots that I use for winter/hunting boots. I have had them for about 25 years. The Sorrels are popular but the collar can collect snow which when it melts funnels down towards your feet. I wanted a taller boot without a collar so I went with the LaCrosse boots. These are the closest model to what I have:

For cold weather I was always taught to wear cotton socks, wool socks and then your lined boots, my feet never get cold.

I never could do the sorrel boots because they are big and I feel clumsy in them. They also don't fit in my stirrups while elk hunting. My wife has a pair of Danners that have 1000 grams of insulation. She is famous for having cold feet but these keep her feet nice and toasty even at -40*f. I wear a pair of Irish Setter (made by Redwing) that have 600 grams of insulation, and have never had cold feet. But I generally don't get cold feet. Both of these boots are gore-Tex so they are waterproof too.

I've been impressed with my Baffin boots too (I got the rubber boots with a liner, Trapper -60C/-76F model).

Not too pricey, and they're Made in Canada! Not China, for once!

I use lacrosse boots, i can stand in the snow all day

I also have Lacrosse boots. Have sat outside all day during hunting season and had warm feet. Also use them plowing snow with the tractor.
