I've got a pair of insulated boots, and they're going to need replacement soon. They're an 8" lace-up, in the Wally World "Brahma" brand, made in China...not my first choice, but what I could afford at the time. They have Thinsulate insulation, but they're not made with Goodyear welt construction, and the sole is beginning to separate from the upper.
First...besides replacing them with a boot made with a Goodyear welt and [theoretically] replaceable sole...any advice on what else I should look for? While I've had no problem with the well-insulated uppers, my feet have had a tendancy to get cold from the sole up in these boots. Does ANYONE make a boot with insulation in the bottoms of the boots, or is that a stupid question to ask?
What boots have YOU had good luck with? I'm not interested in a rubber-footed boot, because every one of them I've tried have left my feet cold. I don't want those jobs with the thick felt liners either, because they just aren't comfortable to me. I primarily use mine during deer season, when the temps may get as warm as 60 degrees, or as cold as single digits. I like the Red Wing steel toes I have for work, but I bought Red Wing then because the company reimbursed 50% of the cost [up to a $200 boot].
