If you decide to go with pacs, Hoffman builds a great boot. I've been happy with my 10" Guides.

Good quality pac boots are hard to beat. I have a lot of miles on my Hoffmann and they are still going strong. I saw that Meindl had some new winter offerings out that look interesting.

One of the most overlooked components of warm feet is warm legs. You have a ton of area to shed heat on the way to your feet.

When I worked @-30*f every day I always had down goretex pants to keep my legs warm. I could work in 400g boots until I would be stuck in one spot like running a boom truck which is when the neos came out and warm was on the way.

Boot blankets are your answer.

The Hoffman pack boots are very nice, but your feet will probably sweat if you walk any distance in heavily insulated boots and then if combine that with colder temps and stopping/sitting still, it’s hard to keep your feet warm with most boots.

Wearing a lighter insulated boot prevents feet sweating, and the boot blankets provide the Insulation when you’ve stopped moving.
