Winter hunting/hiking boots

The next pair of hunting boots I buy will be heated
If you live in the northern hemisphere then you've already felt it; the cold chill that signals the onset of nature's respite. So while not slip into these Columbia Bugathermo "high-performance" hiking boots and give the Earth a trample while its defenses are down? These heated boots feature dual-heating elements with visual indicators for battery and heating levels on the outside of that Omni-Tech waterproof skin. Three temperature settings provide as little as 3-hours, or up to 8-hours, of tootsie toasting heat from the internal lithium polymer batteries. Hell, might as well bring along a gasoline-powered generator so you can recharge 'em and show mother nature her real daddy. $250 and available now.

BUGATHERMO ???
ROF,LMAO ! That is real? Or a joke? I can't tell anymore. ... @@

1200 grams of thinsulate sounds great, but you still need a couple pair of wool socks if you want to keep your toes from going numb if outside for 5-6 hours.
I don't know why, but boot sizes always seem to run smaller than shoe sizes. And my man, you are no spring chicken anymore. Our feet do flatten out and get larger as we age....just a fact of life. ballpeen

These Rocky's I bought have 1000 grams, but they are also made of materials that help keep the cold out. But with 12 Wides, I can wear the thick wool socks with the handy thin liner sock with it... I should be good.
The 12's don't look anywhere near as big as a 12. I don't get it... a 12 tennis shoe on my foot would be like a swim flipper.
I used to feel like a spring chicken, right after my knee surgery, except I hurt my shoulder, and with all the getting up with my right arm,
my right knee is bothering me again. You're right.... I believe my feet ARE flatter and we're old guys now. Although, we did buy a new water softener,
and we got a senior discount because I'm almost over 59 !

Sounds like your boots are just like mine....12 wide....same materials.
The only time I wear them anymore is on my late season Cleveland trips.
Along the lines of those Columbia boots, I have a pair of wool socks that hold a battery with a heating element running under the toes.
It provides 4-5 hours of heating....not a great deal of heat, but it helps. I'll usually plug them in about the time I head to the stadium so they are at full force when I make the seats where you aren't moving around very much.

One of these days, I want to take Dad to another Browns game... in a blizzard. The last time was fun.
I think you can see the game better in person with it snowing very strong.
Battery op socks... I've never tried those. We'll see how my boots do. I walk around a good bit, pick my perch
with excellent view of the woods, and I stay there for a long while...
Opening day of deer season, and Sun, I went out in the morning. No bow hunters in our woods. But,
I did see a big black cat on the road across the edge of the bog, as soon as I got in the woods, I saw a big fox squirrel who was barking at me
at close range.... and deeper in our woods, I saw a really big black squirrel. That is pretty amazing. The black squirrels were actually
brought down here from Canada decades ago. Now, they are everywhere. And over on the neighbors' side, in the woods, another
big fox squirrel. So, my efforts to stop the hunting on our properties is paying off huge. We used to have just a few squirrel, and now,
it seems the population is really coming back. Squirrel hunting is by far the most fun hunting I've ever done. I still have my own
taxidermied squirrel tail, the first squirrel I ever got. I read up on how to do it, and did it myself. I keep it in the box with my Solingen? hunting knife,
a gift from my Mom and Dad when I was a kid. All these years, I suppose that knife is worth a lot. It was fifty bucks back in the day...
I really want to hunt squirrel with my Dad again in our woods. Even if we never shoot one, it's just fun. Last year,
I was out, and I swear it was a Golden Eagle, or maybe a female? bald eagle in a tree way out back. It seemed to be a bit injured,
but it could still fly.
This year I have my fancy little camcorder/camera. I hope to get some pics of wildlife, and not any pics of any hunters trespassing....
Hey, I'm going to call Canton Mike and have him go hiking with me...

That boots sounds very interesting....

Danner boots. Vibram soles. Thinsulate information. Bought a pair about 8 years ago for $250.00 and they are still in good shape.
240 yards with a old 20 gauge that I presume is a smooth bore? Really? hmmmmm Did you use a rangefinder to measure that distance? or have a dwarf pace it off?
-
Danners are solid, but I was trying to keep the price down. We were just finishing paying off our farm....
I can't wait til really cold weather to wear my new boots. They are -nice-.
That, and our new 88% efficient fireplace insert is going to be a lot of fun, too.
