Most of the pac style boots w/ rubber bottoms and wool/felt liners are pretty good. (Sorel & Baffin are excellent) Those UGLY & bulky Mickey Mouse boots are awesome!! I love the ones I have that don't have the valve. I think I got them a while back from the Sportsman's Den.

I have some other Hodgman's boots on clearance a while back as well which used some harden screw on spikes on the bottom - I wear these exclusively when I snow blow !! I never slip and they are warm. I don't think they make them any more.

You can screw in short sheet metal screw into the sole - careful not to puncture the inner part AND that if you are walking you don't feel it under your foot. An insole will take care of it. The hex heads work best!! To remove use vise grips when worn out.

BEST to have too much room than not enough room in your boots so the warm air can move around. You can also throw in a hand warmer (dry chemical kind) in each foot to be toasty (when I use to hunt in bitter cold I did this).

Good luck.
