Lenz heated socks work great if you want to keep using hiking boots. Second MT Warden that Schnees Hunter pac boots are great in cold and snow.

I use the 200g Beartooths when it starts to get around freezing temps, but when there’s a bunch of snow out I use the taller 13” hunter II packs from Schnee’s. Love them, and I skip gainters while using them.

Im in the same boat. My go to boots are the same uninsulated beartooths. I have an upcoming 4th season hunt and cant decide what to do. I would only need real cold weather boots every few years (mostly archery hunt) and for some whitetail tree sits. I was going to buy a set of 200 beartooths but schnees wont put them on sale. Now Im leaning towards a good set of pac boots from either schnees or hoffmans. Or the hoffman 400 hiking boat. Gonna be a tough call. That being said, planning to be do some hiking and a lot of glassing, so what do yall think?

I didnt think I would use my hoffman pacs all that often either but like I've stated in a few post already they get used from October to March every year now and I dont understand how I've gone without them for as long as I did the 12" guides are a great boot the cowboy packers are as well

Pacs are kind of like studded tires, you may not need them a lot, but when you do- you really need them. Unlike studded tires, they're easy to put on and don't take much room in the closet :D

I really love my lacrosse rubber boots when things get nasty cold. There comfortable enough to do a bit of hiking in. 1000G of insulation
