I've got a Heaterbodysuit I use in really cold conditions in stands that are large enough for it. It comes with a pair of boot covers and yes they do work. The problem I find with big boots such as Baffins is climbing using climbing sticks. would be totally fine in a big ladder stand or ground blind but hiking into a remote location and setting up climbing sticks would be difficult

I wear the -100 rated sorel glaciers. Would be a bit bulky if you had a long walk. Never get cold feet with these. I wear heavy weight pure wool British socks in them. I wear the same boot ice fishing if theres no deep slush. Baffins if theres slush but the Sorels are warmer and drier than the Baffins

No offence but i think the demand can not be met.
Not at least to have an usable ,comfortable and sturdy boot, especially usable while climbing trees -to use them saddle hunting.
Boot for reasonable good hiking-warmth-cold weather saddle hunting-waterproofenes is LaCrosse Alphaburly.
I use 15 years or so the same pair-800 gr insulation(nowadays they come up to 1600 gr)and works like a charm.
In very cold-thin and thick wool socks in the boot,that is it.
Worked in -20 moose hunt,works in saddle any winter(never saddle hunt though beyond -10 C).I love it.

If there is a will, there is way [emoji23]
What I meant was I already have all the boot wear I need, I just need some extra insulation on cooler than expected days.

I have the boot covers you posted. I got mine cheap on sale a couple years ago. They work great for me and I can stay out much longer. I put them overtop of bogs. I have thrown a hand warmer in the front when it’s really cold. You wouldn’t want to forget and try and walk or climb down in them by mistake. You’d probably end up eating S@!t!

Has too much time on their hands
I have a pair and swear by them. Just strapped them to my pack for tomorrow, about half hour ago.

Call me old school if you like,but,I still like good ol' fashion Kamik snowmobile boots with insulated snowmobile pants or insulated farmer johns.
If a tree falls on your ex in the woods and nobody hears it,you should probably still get rid of your chainsaw. Just sayin'....
