USAF Bunny boots!

the lacrosse iceman boots with the double liner are pretty good, for sitting in a blind try stuffing one of the chemical handwarmers in each boot

try a pair of Rocky's with 5000 grams of insulation. You Alabama folks get me laughing as I used to wash the car this time of year in the yard in Auburn in shorts and a t-shirt. 40 degrees is not cold to us 'yankees'.

mountainboy ----- Do what I do in Colorado where in the November Elk hunt it can get -22. I wear a pair of L.L. Bean insulated guide boots and carry a pair of Artic Shield insulated botties in my backpack for when I reach my stand area. Good shooting.

If you are in dry and cold conditions I like the USAF mukluks. They are warm to -30F when active and -10-20F when not active. If it's wet then bunny boots are good but bloody heavy.

For -40 go with a native design or Canadian military mukluks.

This page has lots of choices. A place called Quinn the Eskimo in Saskatoon has the Canadian boots.

thanks yall north61 great cite .think my feets are going to be warm..i think they sweet n then freeze .

MB,

The older I get the more cold sensitive my hands and feet have become.

I’ve never used these but something like Wiggy’s Overboots should work just fine for your needs:

Use lighter weight insulated boots for walking and then zip these on once you get to your blind or tree stand.

Good hunting!

They're the ones I have, and they are warm.
My son uses those toe warmers similar to the disposable hand warmers. I never tried them but he likes them a lot

Muck Boots, Arctic Sport.

Warm and dry regardless of conditions.

Akhutr has the medicine you need, my arctic sport boots are warm indeed to -30C If your feet sweet as you say or sweat like the rest of us use some underarm antiprespirant on them.

This what I use.

Cabela's® Trans-Alaska™ III Pac Boot
"Proven Performance!" Jeff King, four-time Iditarod champion
From the Iditarod trail to the treestand, these boots have proven they are true cold-weather performers. A 13mm Texel® removable liner reflects heat inward to minimize loss. Beneath that, the moisture trap footbed wicks away perspiration and condensation. A 1/2" layer of EVA foam, coupled with the nylon-covered Phylon midsole, puts 3" of cold-blocking material between your feet and the ground. The tough, flexible vamps are protected by a triple-layer, abrasion-resistant toe guard, and the rubber toe cap ensures longer wear. These 15" boots have a reflective, lightweight waterproof shell with lightweight, reflective nylon shafts. Radiantex™ reflective coating. The 8" liner allows for pants inside the boots, and the rip-stop nylon gaiter has a cord-locked drawcord to keep out snow. There's easy to tighten, thanks to a one-pull ball bearing lacing system. Inside, a heat pack pocket allows you to insert toe warmer heat packs. Replacement Liners and a Heat Pack also are available.

Once you get your boots try some electric socks. I used them in -30 standing around a lot while cleaning up a Buffalo. Seriously cold but I never ever thought about my feet being cold. Sitting in a stand they would be awesome.
Take care
Dave

I used to have this same problem but as I wanted to go farther and farther into the bush carrying that extra set of heavy boots got to be too heavy to be practical.

Now I wear one pair of medium warmth boots for me that is an 800 gm thinsolate boot. I now carry 2 pair of extra socks and as butchloc suggested several chemical hand-warmers. I prefer the ones that are made as toe warmers and have a adhesive that sticks to your sock.
When I get to my blind I take of the boots and the surprisingly wet socks(now I know why my feet get cold) and i put on the 2 pair of dry socks with the chemical toe warmer in-between the socks. It works really well and any temp. Just change out the toe warmers as needed.
