Serious cold weather footwear.

[sam vimes]

I hate cold feet. I don't much like wearing wellies when fishing. I'm giving these a go and found a couple of places offering big discounts on what are pricey items. I wondered if they might be of interest to others.

I've found the Korum boots with a thick pair of hiking socks works for me

Use my gortex lined walking boots

only thing that get's me on a cold day is my cold feet, just bought some heated socks, will try them out next weekend and let you know. I've tried different boots and different combinations of socks and nothing seems to work!! other than that i love fisihing in the cold, fish seem to look better and it's less busy

 

[john step]

skeetex boots do it for me. You can even buy spare thermal liners for when the inners wear out. They are apparantly good for R. Finnes on his Polar trips!!

Sundridge hotfoot boots are great (and a damn sight cheaper than Skeetex!).

I confess to being a big girl and not venturing out when its mega cold but I'm normally happy with me Muckboots and a couple of pairs of proper socks. Got a pair of TFG Super Tuff boots from Santa...quite impressed so far,again with two pair of decent socks.

A combination of Brasher socks and the Chub field boots have banished the dreaded cold feet syndrome for me.

I have a pair of Sundridge boots but always found them too uncomfortable to walk in. Bought a pair of Muckboots before Christmas and they are much better to walk in an almost as warm. It hasn't been very cold yet mind...

Brasher walking boots. Despite linings or whatever I have never found any rubber/vinyl to be as snug as leather.

I have that same combo (muck boot derwent which aren't specifically cold weather). The muck boots are supremely comfortable and you could walk for miles (and despite the blurb sweat for Britain ). If you are static try the muck boots but keep the sundridge ones in the car if I were you.

When considering cold weather footwear, you have to seriously consider the socks that you will be wearing, they can be just as important as the boots for keeping out the cold.
Go Outdoors website have a good range of various socks to choose from to suit all conditions.
Sealskinz do some really good stuff but they can be expensive depends on your budget i suppose.

Also layering - 2 set of stocks, a thin one next to the foot and a thicker one on top of that - buy bigger boots than your normal size though

 

[barbelboi]

Skee tex moon boots, never had cold feet with them. Luckily I don't like walking too far if it's that cold, come to think of it I don't much care for walking anyway - guaranteed to -50, and you don't need extra socks. Skee tex barbel boots for distance walking for the other three seasons, or warm winters like this.

We could do with some eskimos really..... I bet they know a thing or two about warm feet. perhaps wrap a polar bear pelt around each foot and bind tightly with walrus skin leather?

 

[agamemnon]

get a pair of army hortex/thinsulate lined boots with a decent pair of wooly socks

I have/had more pairs of these than I could shake a stick at. Not anywhere near warm enough for me.

 

[andreagrispi]

Skeetex for me - mind you, they are not exactly stylish.

 

[flightliner]

Bog standard wellies and two pair of thick socks for me.

Baffin Outback Boots with normal socks keep your feet warm and dry in any weather.

Combine then with a Sundridge Igloo MK 6 suit and two piece Sundridge sleepskin thermals underneath and you'll be comfortably warm in any conditions. The suit also doesn't eimpeede movement when you are playing a fish and is silent.
