re: Waterproof, cold weather hunting boots - insulated knee high rubber or 8" lace-ups?

What socks are you wearing? Could be warm from the walk, then cold when you're sitting because your feet are sweating during the walk.

My mucks are awesome. Merino Wool socks and my feet are always warm.

I wear alpaca wool socks so that's not the issue. It's the uninsulated boots that are the issue. I need something with some heat retention. Hunted a couple of times in low 20s and those boots just didn't cut it. I love them March through November, but December and January here aren't made for uninsulated rubber boots.
