Need the OB's opinion. What's the best rubber boot for sub-freezing temps?

What is your use? Stand hunting? Moving around our sitting still?

What do you mean by sub freezing? 25*? Or 5*?

I pretty well wear the same rubber boots from 0* to 90*, La Crosse Alpha Burly, I just change up my sock combo.

Keep in mind, I am fairly cheap (I didn't actually pay for the boots---why they aren't Wal-Mart specials). Above 50, I'm sweating pretty good. It below freezing they are nice.

had a pair of lacrosse that i loved. wore them until the soles fell off (about 10 years)

got a pair of under armors for xmas that i will be breaking in this season so i can comment on them yet.

Who else is amazed that ursus has a pair of expensive rubber boots?

LaCrosse Alpha Burly is the best pair of rubber boots made in my opinion.

ursus,

Get a pair of LaCrosse Grange boots for warmer weather. Last time I got them it was $40 but it's been awhile.

Ankle tight. Won't come off no matter what kind of slop you are stepping in.

As a wedding gift, the volunteer group I was an advisor for (Master Naturalists) gave me gift card to Bass Pro. I was guiding a mentored youth hunt a couple weeks later, and rain was in the forecast.

If it's hot, I typically just wear my Chippewa snake boots (16 years old now.....and paid for by Texas Tech). They have enough Snow Seal in them now that I can meander around in water for quite a while.

Mainly tree stand, but we do have some pretty long treks across farmland to get to some of the spots. Generally it's not across rugged terrain.

Trying to find the right balance between not roasting my feet on the walk in, but having enough insulation to stay warm on long sits.

Generally, I just wear sock liners in, then throw on my smart wool when I get in the stand.

I'm leaning toward 1,200 g.

Muck Boots. I think they are called Rangers

My late season boots are 1200g and a size larger than I normally wear. Extra room for bigger socks and extra space to hold warm air. ...they aren't particularly fun to walk in by any means but they are warm.

Muck boots are probably the most comfortable boots I own but with their neoprene uppers they simply are NOT durable at all. Sticks, briars, etc. Just rip them to shreds. My go to boot for 90% of the season remains the LaCrosse Alpha Burly.

My $0.02

Appreciate the feedback. I'd narrowed it to the Aloha Burly's and the Irish Setter. They're about the same price point. Probably splitting hairs at this point.

Used to wear xtra tuff at work in Alaska. Seems like they might have insulated boots https://www.xtratufboots.com/category/insulated

Got some of Academy's store brand camo rubber boots on clearance 2 or 3 years ago, and they are fantastic in any weather - warm bow season to December freezing cold wet windy days. When they wear out I will get more.

I've owned several different pairs of Bogs and really liked them all.

Sadly, I cannot find a single type of rubber boots which will fit around my calves. Snake boots either.
