Best insulated boots for stand hunting?

[rp672]

I almost exclusively stand hunt whitetails in Illinois. I'm looking for a good pair of insulated boots that I can wear late season and not worry about freezing my toes off. Any thoughts?

If I'm treestand or blind hunting in cold weather I'm in my IWOM. I have never gotten cold on some single digit windy days. With insulated boots I don't believe any really work.

Some type of pack boot, Cabelas had some good ones, I had Sorel for years. I went to light boots and artic shield boot insulators though.

I've tried it all through the years to keep my feet warm without any success, all through 2000gram, pac boots and changing out socks. I have a low heart rate and don't pump blood very fast, the only thing I have found to work is utilizing boot blankets with handwarmers tucked in them. Lowest I have tested this thought is down to -5F

Lacrosse Alpha Burly with a nice wool sock and silk liner.

I've used Hoffman's Double Insulated Mountaineer Pack Boots with Darn Tough heavyweight hunting socks in single digits for 5-6 hours with no issues. Everyone and their feet are different though. One other thing I did was use a scent free antiperspirant on my feet to help prevent sweating.

Another vote for boot blankets with a pair of hand warmers dropped in.

I do wish someone would come out with a better option than the arctic shields but that’s what I used right now, just make sure to size them up.

If you don't already, put a foam pad below your feet on the stand. It helps reduce a metal stand from sucking the heat from the bottom of your feet.
