Muck boots? and heated hoodie?

Well I am prob not alone but def getting sick of having cold feet while on stand.....I have bought a fews pairs of boots in the last few yrs but have not had good luck with any of them....bought some rocky boots last yr on sale at CT said they are waterproof....but def are not. I have bought some kamik insulated rubber hunting boots...but find them way too clunky and not warm at all.

So this yr I am looking into getting some Muck boots I have some buddie sthat own them and love them....say they are the warmest and dryest boots they have used. Anyone on here chime in whether they would agree.

I am looking at getting whatever their warmest line is either the woody elite series or the arctic sport. I am looking for a boot I can wear for all hunting conditions and seasons and I live the neoprene fit and waterproof design. I have tried my buddies on and they certainly seem comfortable enough.


also wondering if anyone owns or has experience with the milwaukee or any other brand heated hoodie and how they work and if they are worht the money. I have a sitka fanatic jacket that I love....but aside from picking up some wool garments curious if the heated hoodies are any good for keeping you warm.


and YES!!! I am a wuss when it comes to the cold.

thanks

For Muck Boots, I like the pair I got from TSC Store, they are called Chore model, thicker rubber soles and the neoprene is heavier I believe, they only come in black. They are very comfortable and warm and come at a good price $89.00 when on sale at TSC.

I have the Muck, Artic Sport model. They are good, but not that warm. My feet got cold on watch while Deer Hunting

what about lacrosse boots vs muck boots vs irish setter rutmaster???

I need warm...waterproof.

i have the artic sport as well and wear them all winter and for are December deer hunt and thy work well for me ,,Dutch

Muck Chore and my son acquired my 1st pair and we never leave home without them. A little to warm while crappie fishing on the weekend though. We wear them year round in all fishing and hunting conditions and the only thing we do different is the weight of our socks. Buy your boots a little larger than you wear to accommodate the different thickness socks and you'll have warm feet.

I have a pair of arctic pro's. They are really comfy and pretty warm. I wear them in the stand until the first of December then I change to a warmer boot.

I have 2 pair of mucks a set of field blazers I ware from spring to late fall then its a set of arctic pros for the remainder of the deer season and ice fishing...used to get cold feet ...not anymore...very comfortable...

I dont think you'll be able to find a boots that do it all, warm boots comes with bulky.
If you have to walk with warm boots to your stand you will sweat and you'll get cold later on. Personally, I had cold feet all my life because my feet sweat really quickly so I just suck it up! I have been using Baffin for five year now, there are rubber so waterproof, not too bulky and keep me warm enough even wet. Maybe you should bring an extra pair of socks and replace them while at the stand, won't be scent free so better work with the wind!

whats the warmer boot of choice after dec 1st???

When I do my archery hunt in mid dec, the past two years I have worn Irish Setters with 2,000 grams thinsulate and heavy Merino wool socks. I sized them such that I can wear in Nov and be ok and during those Dec hunts they are "just" large enough I add those thermal cell inserts which provide a wee bit of warmth (don't expect miracles). Theres enough room to wiggle toes, feet etc. Constricting blood flow will result in cold feet no matter what your wearing.

Sits in the stand are typical 8:30am to 11:30am and 2:00pm to 4:30pm.

2013 the average temp was around -18 to -20. Some days it was -30 at first light
2014 the average temp was around -8 to -10.
No complaints. Thats not to say I don't feel it at those temps after 2hrs, but its not the kind "omg my feet are freezing, thats enough" feel it.

I was about to go with Mucks for later season but the kid in Cabelas was telling me any Cabelas brand boot is guaranteed for life over the counter replacement so I will be trying one of their products this fall instead. I find I wreck a pair of rubber boots every 2-3 years deer hunting so this could work out to my benefit.

I have a pair of Muck Fieldblazers and I love, love, love them. They were for my birthday three years ago. As someone else on here mentioned, just adjust the weight of your sock as the seasons change. I have some amazing heavy wool socks for ice fishing for winter, I have some nice Browning merino wool socks for cold weather, and I wear regular cotton socks in them in the summer time. Dakota Creek Retrievers carries Muck Boots, and a number of us have had really good experiences getting product from them. http://store.dakotacreekretrievers.com/

Muckboot Wetland rated -20f have had them for four years now and use them year round. Muckboot does need to come up with a rip proof type material. Shop around because I paid $99.00 on sale when regular price is $134.00.

my muck artic sports are okay for walking in the very cold but if you are sitting you will still get cold feet .I went to marks work ware house and buy the winter work boots that are rated for minus 100 degrees ,thy are a little bulky but if you are sitting thy are the ticket ,,I use them for ice fishing as well ,,Dutch

Love my Milwaukee heated jacket. I don't have the hoodie but they are essentially the same and pretty awesome. My one suggestion would be to buy an extra battery so you have lots of warmth power. Enough guys have already offered opinions on boots.

I have a pair of Kamik rubber boots that I wear, and they are pretty quiet, warm and waterproof. I would recommend them. They were $79 or so from CT. My buddy spent $200 or something silly on some Muck Boots from Bass Pro and his feet are always getting cold before mine.
