Reny's has some cheap Muckboots this time of year. "A Maine Adventure"

I just don't get the thing with hyper silly expensive clothing like that. Muck boots are all you need.

The palladiums are too short. You'd have wet feet from melted snow in less than an hour.

Insulated muck boots are the way to go. Tried Hunter Wellies one year and my feet froze despite being dry- it was below zero though.

 

[RDavisinVA]

Yeah.

A pair of Mucks or Bogs (my preference) is all you need. Spending most my days outside northcountry winters, cold feet are not an issue. These are rated - 72°f/-60c Bogs Bozeman Tall and can get taller w/o finger pulls.

Badass but that rating begs the question, htf does a boot get rated to -72 ?
Are frost bite amputations part of the testing ?

Land Rivers are cold but not that cold...

Ha, was kinda shocked when I looked at the inner tag rating myself. They are warm though.

I wear gaiters over my Hanwag boots that aren't even waterproof and my feet have always stayed dry. Thin base layer sock under a thick sock help to keep my feet warm since my boots aren't winter boots.

I've been using the same Muck Chore boots since my first romp in 2012 and never had an issue. Those are nice boots Richard but they're not tall enough unless you're wearing gaiters or snow pants.

I have a pair of sorrels that are 25 years old that work fine. As long as you only wear them on snow (and not pavement) they last forever.

Yep, And you can get new liners if need be.

My wife had a pair of Sorrels that leaked after about two years of light use. She ended up tossing them and getting a pair of Solomon's that have been great.

You do have to wax them.

Gaiters and Sorel Manitous worked well for me last time around. I rubbed the leather with Ballistol beforehand. No problems. This guy, though:

I wear my Muck Boot Arctic Sports for anything winter related. Have never had cold feet, maybe this will be the year I get to try them out at Winter Romp...

Muckboots are the best, I am continuously amazed at how well they hold up to the abuse they receive
