Cold Weather boots for mixed activity levels

[satchamo]

So I am a midwesterner and I’ve come to hate rubber boots after wearing them for 20+ years. But they do fit a specific need which for me is a cold weather boot. But where they fall off is comfort and for moving….

So I’m looking for a boot for coyote hunting. I don’t do a ton of walking but I have some longer walks to stands but then I’m sitting for 20-30 min. I have been wearing my hanwag alverstones but they get cold in a hurry. I’ll be walking on rolljng ground in some mud, stream crossings, crp fields, etc. so I don’t necessarily need a technical boot but I don’t not need one if that makes sense….

I’ve been considering Hoffman pac boots but wasnt sure how they were for walking?

Read some reviews of the Salomon Toundra Pro.

Carry artic shield boot insulators, after walking get them on quickly to retain the heat you generated, if it's crazy cold throw in a foot warmer. They weight next to nothing and work well.

Hoffman Pack boots.

I've had 3 pair of Hoffman pac boots and like them for winter in AK. I wear them everyday to walk the dogs. I'm not sure I would wear them if I was crossing many streams. For fall moose hunting I wear Lacrosse Alpha Burley 800g boots. They fit well, ankle fit for walking, warm, dry. For years now whenever we wear rubber boots we wear a normal sock (Darn tough etc.) under a pair of Bama socks. That requires getting 1 size bigger boots to ensure the boot isn't tight = cold feet. Bama socks are a must to eliminate wet clammy socks in rubber boots.
