I always go 2 sizes bigger with the rubber boots to leave room for extra socks and a loose fit. If you wear them too tight you'll get cold.

Also, if anyone is interested, the TSC boots that I mentioned in post #20 are on sale this week for $89.99.

Im a big fan of Irish Setters. Very comfortable, warm, light, and durable.

To me that's cheap considering I know people who spend 100 -$200 on boots and have to replace them every year or 2.
My .2 cents fwiw.

I have a pair of Danner "uplands" (don't think this is the actual name). It's a nice looking boot and for the first 2 years seemed fine. But going on three years and they are not holding up. Every time I pull them off, especially the right foot, the lining come out with the boot.. almost like it's stuck to my foot... cheaply made now, I think - CHINA.

These are my other boots and they are the deer series, so heavy duty. Great boot.. Seems to be indestructible

I have Mucks ( get the pair with more rubber than neo), Nats (very light), CTC Kamiks (best buy for your money $31), Baffins (bit better than kamiks) old pair of Kaufmans (best ever made over 30 years old rubber with felt liner, CTC Gorrillas and another pair of very heavy Kamiks but very warm. Plus 2 pair leather. No one boots does all. You need a high boot and one that is not a catch basin for crap on top.

I got Danner Pronghorn from Amazon for $206. great boots and great price.

Pronghorns are great boots! And with free shipping from Amazon, so long as you know which size you wear, you really can't go wrong.

Since we're on the subject, allow me to post this video I found a some time ago when looking into Danner.

I have been shopping around and I have my eye on the Baffin company. HQ in Stoney creek Ontario. -100degC rated. Just not sure which one yet.

I will kick in a vote for the Pronghorns. Got my pair of 800 grams on clearance for a steal and tat was 3 years ago. Still looking like new

Gilroy...you are right on, with that choice. For walking or snowshoeing..all I use. When sitting in Deer stand I used cheapo snow boots. Buy extra size too big, go to dollar store and get silver liner and felt pads. (buy a couple of sets) I change the pads quite often, never let me down in 3 years.I use the chemical hand warmers on colder days in stand. The only drawback is not much ankle support with these boots.

Cant get my head around the idea of spending hundreds of dollars on a pair of mostly made Chinese boots,Kamik boots are Canadian made and good to below -40, your lining gets wet simply put a dry one in,they also dont leave much scent behind.
