Looks like a great pair of boots! Remember to soak your feet in powder before you put your socks on and you'll probably stay toasty warm on the stand.

I hate cold, always have, even as a youngster. I may have to try some boots like that.

So poly socks first, then wool socks? Then boots . This is the correct formula for dry warm feet?

THICK wool socks (that are made for skiing) and you'll never need anything else.
I'm talking 1/2 in thick - not the 1/4 in stuff they sell at hunting stores.
Problem is you can't buy them just anywhere; I got mine from ski-shop up north.
Keep your toes toasty warm even if feet get soaking wet (which is what happens when I ski)!

Sorry Mike haven't been on this section in a tad Amigo...I went to Columbia online Sir, couldn't have been happier after this last cold snap. I agree with the sock info, but wanted a good pair for the colder sits and these are nice..comfy also.

Thanks, I see that Dicks Sporting Goods carries them. I may go down and check them out. I have a wide foot and I don't see an option for a 4 EE width on the Columbia site.

Amigo I walked that store over and it may be a online deal only but I have been known to miss stuff...This was all I found Sir...Never could find them

I've been debating these for awhile please tell me more. I like the idea of being able to turn them off so I can walk without getting hot or sit to glass for three hours and not get cold. I'm a cold weather fan, I can take the snow and ice pretty good the problem is getting the feet warm while sitting is way too much to go walk a couple miles.

How do you like them so far? I am looking for a good pair of boots, that are also not a beating on long walks. The boots I have now (Game Winners from Academy) keep my feet warm but are heavy as all get out.

Absolutely thrilled with them, have a Exotic Hunt next week out in the elements and the weather looks rough and glad I will have them up

Had to follow my wife around some mall the other day and there was a Columbia store there so I thought well my friend Scooter bought some boots from these folks so I'm gonna check it out. They had these exact boots on sale with some coupon she had or something, I don't know I didn't pay attention but I could've gotten these for $40 but they didnt have grown men sizes they only went to 10s. I was disappointed.

See if you can check them out online, you will NOT be disappointed Amigo..Sat in a Pop Up, Box and a Tree all week on that Bow Hunt and my feet stayed toasty every sit even with the wind chills into the teens.

Think scooters are the 600 or 800 insulated version

Last year was bad for me! This year has not been horrible, but I might need to invest in some winter boots!
