Sportsman’s guide has these guide gear boots on sale right now. If anyone has wide feet and finds it difficult to find boots wide enough, these boots fit GREAT.

Wide would be good. Do they have any for guys with big calves? I've tried a few brands and they are too tight.

My legs have decreased in size since my surgery. Maybe boots like that will fit better now.

The problem with rubber boots for me is my feet sweat in them. They could be 1600-2000 gram insulation it don’t matter if my feet get wet they freeze. Even if I change socks when I get to my stand, the inside of the boot is already wet. It’s over. When it gets cold I go to my leather boots and wear wool socks and boot liners. My feet are much warmer with them. I’m thinking I will probably not wear rubber boots anymore based on that.

Spray your feet with scent free antiperspirant and it will nearly eliminate all sweat. Just make sure feet are dry before putting on socks

I've never tried rubber boots when it gets cold but I'll try the scent free spray. I've had good luck with Irish Setter boots and although we've not had much cold weather, I bought a couple pair of socks from Hollow (alpaca), pretty satisfied in keeping my feet warm and a lot less bulky.

I always get cold feet/toes when sitting in stand. I have 1600gram Thinsulate rubber boots. I freeze in them. I got Black Mickey boots. They were ok before this year. Wore them opening morning and froze. I switched to an old pair of leather Carhartt work boots and so far, the best yet, but still get cold. Dont know if it's the sweating part as mentioned? Considering trying heated socks, or insoles. Any thoughts or experiences. The white Bunny boots are double insulated, but not many left out there in my size for a decent price. I found some for $250-350, but they are 30+ yrs old, as last made 1992 from what I read. Years ago, I had Sorrel pack boots that were good, but I was 30 years younger.

The other thing I've tried and seems to help (not sure if it really does or its mental-LOL), I had some ergo mats that I cut into strips and wire tied them on top of the bottom strips of my summit climbers. Maybe keeping my feet off the metal? IDK, like I said...seems to help

If in climber or loc on. I always hang toes off side so they are not on metal. Sitting seems to get feet colder quicker. I have Ororo heated clothing including socks they all work very well

We have been using the heat pack boot insole heaters. They have kept our feet warm this season.

rubber boots are out for warm feet. best way to keep toes and feet warm is a leather boot that fits a little loose and wool socks with wicking liner that leaves air space in toe area of boot. wool socks come in different thicknesses and experimentation will tell you which is best for the boot your wearing. Most guys get too tight of a combination, if you cant wiggle your toes LOL your combination is too tight.
