Winter Boots Recommendations

And remember.... Cotton kills in the cold. Wool sox with a thin polypropylene liner sock to wick away the moisture from your feet.

 

^^^^^^ That's the best advice yet^^^^^^^

 

Ya do know..... your in the state where red wing is..... just a little s.e. of your 20.......

 

If I'm going to be out in the cold alot like when I'm going to spend the whole day on the ice or deer hunting no cotton touches my skin anywhere.

Merino wool is good to use for socks.

 

For context, I'm in central Canada on the prairies. The coldest we had last winter was -38 Celsius. I wear no cotton at all. Even t-shirts. A little bit of sweat will freeze in cotton, sucking the heat right out of you. When wool or poly pro gets wet or damp, it doesn't stay that way. Even damp, wool still insulates. If your doing hard work in the cold like tarping, ltl on an unheated dock, etc go in layers. Our cold is a dry cold for the most part. You get -15 around the Great Lakes, with all that moisture and it feels worse than -30!

 

Forgive my ignorance, but your in Texas? Not my idea of cold. Lol!
