I think this subject was discussed in the past, but I don't remember the details.

I like my Bunny Boots. But they are generally over-kill for my conditions (5F-32F).

I assume the Mickey Mouse boots would better suit my needs. Are there different makes of the black Mickey Mouse boots I need to be aware of; good ones vs. bad ones?

You say bunny boots, but for us that were in the MIL, bunny boots and mickey mouse boots are just color differences. There is a white and a black, so I guess maybe i should ask which ones are you talking about exactly?

I remember that post and wish I had seen it before I bought a new pair!

The ones with the US on the back will keep your feet nice and toasty in the extreme cold

The ones that dont have it will keep your feet warm but are no where near as good as the ones with the US on the heel.

I have only had white batas. I bought 4 pairs my size a few years ago so I should be good till I die. But I have wondered how those white acton air boss compared to them.

I've called the white ones Bunny Boots, and I've heard the black ones Mickey Mouse Boots.
I've always had the white ones. My question is; are the black ones a decent boot down to maybe +5F.

Black Mickey Mouse boots are rated to -20° in cold, wet climates. White Bunny boots are rated to -60° in cold, dry climates.
