I've seen this post just about every time this season comes around and to be honest I haven't given them much attention. I have a decent pair of boots and along with some good insulated socks they do a decent job keeping my feet warm, at the time I purchased them I didn't have a lot to spend on a great quality pair but this year I must have been a good dude cause I racked up some nice amounts in cabelas gift cards. As I was contemplating on what purchases I will be making i decided on getting a good quality boot, for us catanglers we know that prime fishing is when temps are unbearable to others and we are constantly checking the weather report and making plans to get out there to battle some beasts. We check our tackle to make sure there are no flaws, for boaters we check our boats to make sure we have all that we need so we can get to our destination and back safely, we pull out heavy jackets, gloves and headwear and when the time comes and we are fishing there may be some (myself included) that realized I wished I would have gotten warmer boots because my feet are starting to get cold. It is then I tell myself that I put all my effort and due diligence to have everything that I need for my style of fishing and yet I don't give my feet enough thought, for those that have experienced this we know that if your hands and feet get too cold it is gonna be a short trip out. In saying all this I would like to know your opinions on some good quality boots for those cold 20 and 30 degree temps.

Mucks and wool socks, I also spray my feet with antiperspirant to keep them from sweating.

A good water proof boot and wool socks will be good enough most days. For those days that are going to start and stay cold all day I add the peel and stick toe warmers. They will last all day to keep your feet warm and they are cheap.

I got a pair of Muck Arctic Sports for Christmas. I have a pair of Muck Chores also. The Arctic Sports will be a lot warmer. My feet were cold in 38 degrees with the Chores. New ones should have me covered

One of the best insulators I know of is panty hose. While it sounds weird, if you wear them under your long johns and wool socks they will keep you surprisingly warm. If you get cold feet as bad as I do them look at electric socks. The wader version keeps the batteries up on your belt so you can take them out easier and put them in when you get cold.
I'm on other forums that deal with the old turbo powered Buicks.;)

I work outdoors and wear some Muck chores with some liner socks under Simms wading socks. I can stand in the water and launch the boat and never feel cold. I just bought the arctic pro as well but I have yet to try them out.

I use a pair of sock liners , wool socks and my Crocs, I don't like to wear heavy boots in the winter they be weights if I fall in the water, when I worked in Alaska we wore white boat boots with heavy wool socks.
