Skee tex liners fit them perfectly, I used them like that for years.

You wont beat baffins for warmth - just listed a pair in a 12 in classifieds - bargain for someone

Important thing is sizing; space for the air to warm around the feet is essential, thick socks that make a boot tighter (i.e. less trapped air) will end up as cold numb feet after a short amount of time. The felt lined Sorel's with Merino wool socks which are fairly thin do me just fine when it's damn cold..

I had them for a year but got rid of them due to left one letting water in my friends done the same, they are warm but make your feet sweat just sitting still then the liners get wet and followed by cold feet, they ate quite hard to get dry after that, i wouldnt really recommend them think im going to try just good neoprene wellies.

Another vote for the Sorel Caribou Leather Waterproof Boots. Lightweight, waterproof and warm. Rated to -40

Is anyone able to give any feedback on the Fortis Elements welly type boot?
Are they warm / comfortable? Do they make your feet sweat etc?

I've been using BOGs neoprene boots (Classic Ultrahigh with the holes in the side to help you get them on / off) for the last couple of years for Canadian winters & have been really happy with them.
They match Skeetex wellies & field boots for warmth but my feet don't get sweaty - in fact I haven't worn my field boots since I got them.
They're comfortable for walking longer distances (I use them for walking the dog) & when I'm out clearing snow, keep my feet warm whilst sitting around & remain waterproof too. Very impressed! Advise that you try them on before buying I made sure mine were a snug fit & whilst they go on tight, they loosen up after a few minutes.

I find them true to size, I'm a 9.5 shoe size so brought a size 10, lovely fit ( i like mine slightly bigger) easy to slip on for a run etc and they stand up straight

Yes I resorted to those warmers last year and they do solve a problem. Was just hoping to find a solution where I didn't need to use them!

I suffer from cold feet and had the Skeetex years ago and now have the Baffins and prefer them in every way. I still get cold feet eventually and find you still have to apply the usual rules such as changing your socks, also taking the liners out between sessions to let the boots dry out is essential, otherwise next time you wear them you will get cold feet pretty quick. When really cold I usually just give in and use those Hot Hands foot warmer things.

I've not had both but have had Skeetex and for static angling I found them very warm indeed and I've used them down to about freezing and never had a problem.
I just don't like them as they are so bulky.

People that have Skeetex moon boots and Baffin Trappers - which would you say are warmest for being static?
Have had Trappers for a few years and still badly suffer with cold feet even when I don’t think it is that cold, was considering changing to Skeetex.
