Merino wool, merino wool, merino wool. Didn’t believe in it until I bought some. Moisture control (getting it away/off the body) is the biggest key to warmth.

I wear whatever I have then put these on when I sit in my blind. For added warmth you can add a hand warmer in the bootie.

I use to only wear lacrosse but they went to garbage a few years ago. I didn’t like muck, but have since figured them out and prefer that style. Also like bogs and dry shod

My designated hunting boots I get a few years out of.

What a shame their quality may have gone downhill. I may need to look elsewhere for their replacement.

Don't wear rubber boots that don't breathe. Wear a waterproof and breathable boot (Gore-tex). You don't need insulation unless you're in REALLY cold temps just sitting (like single digits or below). Make sure the boots fit right and aren't too tight. You don't want to cut off your circulation. Wear merino wool socks - they are warm and wick moisture away from your skin. The Gore-tex lets it out of the boot. You don't want sweaty, wet feet in the cold. One other thing about boots....don't wear steel toe boots in the cold. Steel gets COLD.
Then wear merino wook base layers top and bottom. Wear good warm layers. Don't wear anything that is too tight and cuts off circulation. Keep your neck and head covered and warm. All of that helps retain body heat, which keeps your blood flow to your extremities warm. Your hands and feet will stay warm if you retain body heat, avoid moisture, and don't restrict circulation.
