Thanks for that! All I currently have are uninsulated boots, which is why I find the NEOS intriguing. Just not sure how well they would be to walk very far in. Then again, if I'm walking very hard I've not had a trouble keeping warm as I tend to run pretty hot. I could also see them being useful for stand hunting whitetails. Just walk in with lighter boots and put these on once on location. I really do get mental vapor lock over this stuff...

that's what I use snowshoeing and backcountry skiing (Altai Hoks)- sometimes with just trail runners, sometimes with my hunting boots (La Sportiva TRK's)

they are also nice around a snowy/cold camp- just slip them on over socks when nature calls smile

Thoughts on using them without snowshoes or skis? From the pics I've seen of them, they don't look to have much of a sole on them.
