RE: whats boots to buy
Very true, Dan... I will be keeping the receipt on these as well until after I've worn them in sub-freezing temps a few times. The 2,000 grams is what caught my eye initially, but this boot seems to have received some great feedback from users as well. I also like the fact they seem to be built on a hiking boot platform, and look very much like the ones I bought from Cabelas for my elk trip which had 400 grams of Thinsulate in them; those have performed flawlessly, and are supremely comfortable.
I looked in my master catalog tonight for the ones you mentioned... I found some Predator Extremes w/ 1,200 grams of Thinsulate, and they weren't rated for as cold a temp as the Infernos. Maybe they're new and I need to check out their website?

You wimps.
Talking about 1600 gram and 2000 gram thinsulate. My old Wolverines with 600 gram do good until it gets 20 degrees and below.
Actually for this time of year I opt for 1000 or 1200 gram rubber boots because along with the cold temps its generally muddy, wet and.....just downright sloppy.

My bad, the Predator Extremes are 1200 gram....but do have a comfort rating of 10 degrees colder than the Inferno......here's the links. Either boot looks like it would do the job.....I'm just giving you my experiences.
Oh yeah, you are correct, it looks like the Infernos would be a lot more comfortable to walk in.
Predators.....

RE: whats boots to buy
muck boots for sure. If not Muck i would look at Danner or Irish Setter. To many Rocky and Wolverines get returned to the store with manufacturer defects anymore. I rarely see a muck, danner, or irish setter come back. Its best just to try them on and see what fits for you.
