Bunny boots are good but they weigh 5 lbs each. Lacrosse makes some good boots too but they are also heavy.
Life ain't supposed to be easy.

Socks and layering are just as important as boots. For sure. Wool is always part of my system. Cotton is for snot rags

With bunny boots you can ware any or no socks and still have warm feet. If you have to layer socks and buy special socks to keep your feet warm, you boot is not working. Bunny boots don't care is you sweat and your sock is wet. I fell through the ice trapping beaver and filled my bunny boots. In 15 minutes my feet were as warm as before I fell through. See how that works with a pack boot. It was only about 10 below out, but cool enough you would have been done with anything other than a bunny boot. They are about 1/4 the price of the high dollar boots too.

I bet everybody reading this has at least one time had a deer or other animal go lots further than expected. All kind of stuff can happen. You need a boot you can walk in. As soon as you decide walking isnt going to be an issue your going to be trailing one a ways. If you have to sacrifice walking ability to have toasty warm toes its going to bite you sooner or later. Plenty of boots out there you can walk in that will keep your feet reasonably comfortable with a good pair of wool socks on. If wool is to itchy for you put on a pair of thin dress socks then wool.
