Getting cold feet

[rp672]

I hunt whitetails in IL, and especially as I get into the late season I have cold feet problems more and more. I currently hunt in lightly insulated boots and use foot warmers, but I'm looking to invest in a solution. Interested in hearing experience with heated socks, heavily insulated boots, insulated boot covers, etc. Thanks!

I’m pretty basic all around, but I wear cheap Itasca boots from tractor supply that are 1200g and I think I paid $85?

Walking into my stand, I wear light or mid-weight socks and then swap to heavy before I settle in. I hunt in northern New York and that works pretty well for me. If I’m tracking or doing drives, I’ll wear the heavy socks with uninsulated lacrosse granges and stay pretty warm too

I like the ice breakers boot blankets I have (or Frankenfeet as I call them). Throw a hand warner in them, slide then on over boots and good to go. Draw been is they are large and kind of clunky to carry in, but for longer/ all day sits

Lenz electric socks. They work and are expensive.

You will find other threads on the cold feet problem with lots of good suggestions.

I dont hunt whitetail much however, I am fortunate enough to hunt a buddy's farm every year in Georgia for a few days. my feet always freeze! How many mm/gram are the boots you run when its under 30 degrees for stand hunting?

looking for 16-18" inch slip on rubber boots

ever consider using a sleeping bag or down blanket to wrap your legs and feet?

I was out yesterday and wore my ridiculous 2400 gram insulated boots that I only pull out for late season treestand hunts. Thick Darn Tough socks are usually all I need, but I do have heated socks as well. For reference, I wear uniinsulated Crispi Lapponia’s even in snow when I go west to hunt. There is nothing for me that makes a treestand hunt miserable faster than cold feet.
