I would guess there are quite a few good ones. I have been using lacrosse extreme pac boots the past few winters. There isn't any removable liner like a traditional pac boot. 2000 gram thinsulate and a wool felt insole . No complaints so far.

Yup ! Mickey Mouse boots. I don’t find them uncomfortable to walk in.
Well we're Green and we're Gold, and we play better when it's cold. All us Cheese heads have our favorite superstar. We love Brett Favre.

Don’t worry so much about your boots … if you are sitting take a pair of these along and drop some heat packs down in them before slipping them on once you arrive at your stand https://www.arcticshieldoutdoor.com...s/boot-insulators?variant=44740429775093

check Baffin boots, warmest I've ever had, they have many versions and many temp ratings. Think my light pair is rated to -40 which means about 5 deg sitting for hours for me. Forgot, had to size up 1.

I own a heavy pair of 1000 G Lacrosse boots but decided to experiment a bit this year. I hunt in TN so extreme temps aren't a issue. I have worn a pair of ankle Mucks all season with a single layer of Redhead socks and disposable toe heaters. Once in the stand I put on my ArticShield boot blankets and a hand warmer on top of my toes. The coldest morning so far has been 19 degrees and I haven't struggled with cold feet this year.

Put a lot of miles on bunny boots rabbit and deer hunting, have even step on ice and fell thru into creek just kept walking and feet warmed right back up. Wore the soles out on one pair walking in them. After you get used to walking in them they are not bad.

I have a pair of Baffin Snow Monster boots and they are the warmest I’ve ever owned. I went up one size to a 14 to allow for good blood flow when sitting for extended periods. I also have a second set of insoles so I can alternate daily to ensure I start out the day w/ dry boots. I’ve sat all day in them at 5 degrees Fahrenheit w/o issue. They wouldn’t be my first choice for a walking/stalking boot but I have walked 1/4 of a mile or more into a blind in them w/o issue.
I do agree with the concept of taking off your pac boots and using the Arctic Shield booties with a handwarmer inside for long sits. The only issue is that they become very krinkly and loud in cold weather.
