Thread: Foot wear

What kind of shoes or boots are most wearing in cold weather.

Muck Boots. They have several different temperature ranges for the weather you are using them.

Muck Boot Arctic Sports.

For those guys wearing Muck boots (or similar), just make sure you can shuck them off using just your feet. When they get full of water, they can weight a guy down pretty bad. If you fall overboard (especially if you aren't wearing a PFD), being able to shed those boots using just your opposite foot could mean the difference between life and death.

Many lifetimes ago, I took Lifesaving as a college PE class (it was fun and I had to take a PE anyway). One of the exercises in class was to dress up in some kind of outfit that wasn't made for being in the water and jump in the pool - then try and save yourself. I chose to dress as a duck hunter. I was good enough in the water to shed the excess weight and save myself. Many of my classmates weren't so good and had to have help.

Not to derail this thread but if you think you will have the presence of mind to kick your boots off or anything else for that matter you have never fallen in cold water. Wear a life jacket. Get ahold of the boat as quickly as possible and slide to the back of the boat and climb the engine.

I can't believe it but I'm shopping for fur(flying) crocs.

I wear a pair of snake proof boots that I use during turkey season. No insulation, I am a firm believer in quality socks being 80% of the battle with the cold.

Yep....Muck boots
