I haven't stood in the water for longer than maybe a minute or two with the Redheads, but I HAVE waded out when putting out balloons on a fairly windless day. Re the Muck boots, I have never had a pair, but I know people who say they are the best, although a bit pricey for my budget. Since Bigfishmama limited me to $5 per month for fishing, I had a choice of A: Ride a bicycle to fish at the kids' pond, or B: Get a part-time job.
Hello, Braums, where I now get a discount on ice cream (my doctor says that part is not a good thing).

I'm pretty sure a pair of Muck Boots is in my near future! I've started seeing a lot of them in the past year or so. For some reason I thought they had been around for a long, long time but, turns out they have only been around since 2002.
Floyd, I guess you just have to look at the temp rating on each boot to determine what is best for you? The -20 to +50 seems about right for Oklahoma.

For a base layer look for US Army issue Gen 3 level 2 mid weight shirt and drawers.............. I have a set, but it rarely gets cold enough down here to wear them.
They are the base layer for extreme cold weather........they are not bulky, but like I said it;s gotta be cold out or you'll be strippin down................

I think that is what mine are rated for. There are plenty of places that sell them (look at their store locator) and I think it's a good idea to actually try a pair on with the socks you intend to wear. My cold weather boots are worn with a lightweight performance sock liner under a mid weight wool. My snake boots are worn with lighter socks so I wear a size smaller in them. Both are very comfortable and easy to get on and off.Originally Posted by Okie Bob

couldn't agree more on the Artic Armour material....excellent in keeping you warm (with minimumal layering) and breaking the wind.
Sacred Heart of Mary, pray for us now, and at the hour of our death. AMEN

For the sake of his sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and the whole world

Well I would but I have to get fully recovered from aneurysm surgery scheduled in Dallas Dec 30. Recovery may take a while.
