Winter boots for work or hunting - whether you are outdoors exposed to the elements, or in cold, covered spaces, some practical ways to stay warm, safe and work effectively.
Work
boots for extreme cold conditionsBoots are essential in cold weather as they cover the ankles so reducing heat loss at a thinly insulated region. Thick insulated soles are as important as insulated uppers as a lot of heat can be lost through the only part of the body in contact with the frigid ground.
Working, hunting, ice fishing and other cold weather activities require boots that are firm and tough, have a good sole for walking on uneven surfaces and are possibly waterproof too. Extreme cold weather footwear with a soft outer shell are very effective at keeping the wearer warm but not so practical in a working environment.
Winter hunting boots have higher levels of insulation because periods of inactivity.

Cold weather insoles
add to any boots, insoles help but are not a substitute for proper winter footwear
Socks:
Wool provides
the best insulation, make sure they are predominantly wool,
70%+, a smaller amount of synthetic material such as
nylon or polyester helps durability and some stretchy material
like elastane gives a snug fit and prevents them from falling
down. Don't be tempted to wear too many pairs of socks and
make your boots tight, if you squash out most of the air, you
will have lost the main insulator and they won't be so warm.
Start with a thin inner pair of liner socks, then a thick wool pair inside
insulated footwear with an extra thermal insole if the boot
sole needs it.Thermal socks: Men and Women's
