Cabela's Winter 800 by Meindl. Warmest, most comfortable boot I've ever worn. Spendy, but my ankles are not what they used to be and they give good support.

I need some help in picking out some new hunting boots ..I just can't handle getting my tootsies cold ..just kind of takes the fun out of it ..so how about some suggestions ...I would like a set with leather uppers and rubber lowers but WARMETH is the big thing I am open to suggestions .. give me an idea what to get ..how much thet are and where to find them ..the Good Doctor thanks you.

Doc, I bought a pair of Danner Pronghorns (400 gms Thinsulate) at Bass Pro ($149...I think) last year and they are real confortable, plus they were pretty warm while I was in Wyoming...I also think they come w/800 gms of Thinsulate...hope that helps.
