Stop screwing around and find a pair of Beta white bunny boots.

Sportsman’s Guide have the bunny boots in their military surplus flyer this month.
Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

Baffin makes a good boot if you stay out of the water.

The Baffins are really good warm boots. I have tried them all and always go back to the Betas

Not trying to derail/hijack this thread , but L.L.Bean's. ' Wicked Good' shearling slippers @ $80 a pop are REALLY good. Very , very warm. Always wanted a pair , finally pulled the trigger a few years ago.
Very happy with them. Well worth the price. Shearling is very warm. No more cold feet. Wish I did it years ago.

Hated those bunny boots. Worst I ever wore as they walk your socks down to your toes.

Hated those bunny boots. Worst I ever wore as they walk your socks down to your toes. I have wore bunny boot for 30 + years in AK and ND and never had a sock slide down in them. I have hunted, trapped, fished snowshoed and worked in them. I have never wore a special sock with them. I have filled them with water at 10 below and after 15-20 minutes my feet were warm. What other make boot can you do that in?

Enlighten me then on which won't do that as I have tried a bunch with same results.

Enlighten me then on which won't do that as I have tried a bunch with same results. Been wearing these boots in the winter since the 80's I've never gotten what I call "toe socks" in them either. I just use whatever cheap calf length socks I buy at Walmart. Maybe your socks are too loose or your boots are the wrong size. I wear bunny boots a size 1/2 larger than my ordinary shoe size and leave the laces loose. I just slip them on.

I've filled up lots of rubber and neoprene boots with ice cold water that eventually turned to warm water. It's not magic. It's the furnace inside the boot that does it. If the water can't evaporate it doesn't have a cooling effect like sweat soaked socks can have.
Nowadays it just don't pay to be a good 'ol boy.
