Is anybody wearing the Schnees pull on Hunter pacs?
Like em, warm, comfortable?
No mountain or rough hiking here so I think they would work for me. Loose up the calf for good circulation and ventilation while stand sitting.

they're a good boot for hiking in snow out west
Don't think you have to spend that much on a pac boot for stand hunting

Don't want to get super warm. Use socks and/or liners.
May want to wear em when it's not super cold as well.
I also have some boot insulators that I can put on once on stand.

Brother Bri, between the wife, boy and I we got 6/8 pairs. 10”, 13”, lace up, pull ons. I’d get the 13” lace up. This is a combination of schnees, kenetrek s and I gotta pair of the 13” whites. All great boots
Ping pong balls for the win.

I keep my circle small, I’d rather have 4 quarters than 100 pennies.
Ain’t easy havin pals.

Poached this from another thread . . . . Depending on your activity, you could try Steger Mukluks. http://www.mukluks.com/ This is what a lot of dog mushers wear, and Inuit have worn something very similar for thousands of years. These mukluks are made to move it, but IMHO they are not great for steep terrain. I'm on my second pair. I bought my first pair in the mid 90's running sled dog in northern MN. When the mercury drops below zero this is my go-to if I'm going to be out for any length of time. I agree. I was first introduced to mukluks while station in Iceland. Spent a lot of time outside on the tarmac wearing the USAF issued mukluks. I continued to use them when stationed in Alaska. In the winter, they were my footwear of choice if I was going to be outside. Whether it was for work or play. I will say this - it was pretty much a 'standard practice' among the guys I worked and played hard with to 1) get the mukluks a size larger than normal, and 2) replace the issued white felt booty with a pac boot liner like those used in Sorel's or LaCrosse's. The aftermarket boot liner was more comfortable, and didn't wad up. The 'oversize' mukluk allowed the pack boot liner to fit inside easier, AND gave a little more room for air circulation. To this day, I still wear the same style mukluk. That said, the next time I'm in Ely, MN (next summer) I'm going to stop in the Steger store and get 'fitted' for either their Yukon or CamukXtreme mukluks since I'm not sure how the fit will be with the recommended liners, and both felt and contour insoles. I've seen comments elsewhere, where Steger customers were fitted at the store and ended up with mukluks basically one size up from what they would have selected themselves.
I never thought I'd grow up to be a grumpy old man, but I did, and I'm killin' it.
