I know those that have them and seem ok.
Larry once told me "keep your laces loose and your feet will stay warmer"
It works for me.
I get it - with a walk in, by boots are laced up tight to keep them on my feet in snow/water/ice but once on the stand, first thing I do is loosen them up as much as possible. Lets my body's radiator system do it's job - warm blood gets full flow to my feet and they stay warm.
I have IceKings by Lacrosse and good wool socks - but run the boot laces LOOSE once on stand. Stay warm in Upper Michigan November hunts.
