My husband is a boat hunter. He needs warm and durable. Are they intended to wear with an outer boot?
3828
yes. these have just a "bootie" foot - the wearer will need a boot to wear these.
3829
Yes IMHO. But, the outer boot has to be big enough to accommodate the thickness of the wader foot. And a protective sock, which should be worn to protect the wader foot from tearing. These waders are worn with a waterproof wader shoe when fishing & walking in water.

Yes, you need another boots to protect those waders. They are very fragile and not durable at all.

They are non-insulated but my husband loves them. He can wear big socks in them.

Patricia, you sure can. The best part about them is that they have the side zipper for easy on and off. Most wetsuit boots are just pull on and are a real pain. Understand though, that these are neoprene wetsuit material. They are thick and they do let the water in, as they are supposed to to help keep your feet warmer . The soles are nice and thick and "grippy" too. I have worn them on rocks , sand and slippery grass and they keep you pretty solidly on your feet.

I haven't worn them duck hunting. I have worn them on outdoor ranges during rain and snow for tactical training and they worked and continue to work great.

Short answer: No. These socks are quite thick, and adding a 2nd pair of socks would mean that my boots would be too tight and would not fit. In supremely cold climates (you pick how cold), you need boots that are insulated, as well as warm thick socks. Adding more and more socks, in my experience, does not work - it's not like adding layers of jackets to your torso.

These are neoprene "booties" and I wouldn't wear them beyond when I'm wading through water. In that case the wool wouldn't help at all. In Iceland my mode of operation was to hike to the side of the river, change hiking boots to sandals and Hydroskin, walk carefully through the icewater and then change back.

I would say no as they are a tight fit to ski boots where snow board boots are much wider. However I am sure dry guy have other solutions for inside the boot no matter ski or snow board.

These boots definitely kept the water out for my purposes ( tide pooling on the rocky Northern California Coast). I had my doubts, but the combo of these boots plus some wool nearly-knee high socks, kept my normally cold feet warm and dry. One thing that I avoided was trying to enter pools of water that were taller than the boots. After adjusting/tightening the boots, I made sure the tallest body of water I entered was approximately the same height as the boots. I didn't have a problem with keeping dry because I kept that in mind. Hope that helps. Good luck in your adventures!

Hi Brittany, the sloggers do not have a lining. The do have a good bottom sole but are designed as rain boots. However, you could wear with a sock, or tights. Hope that helps.

I wear the same size as you and ordered 11. They fit fine and would have accommodated some fairly thick socks. I returned them due to the inside circumference of the boot being too large to tighten when my insulated jeans were inside and the exterior circumference being too large to allow wearing my jeans outside. The apparent quality was impressive and I've no doubt they would have kept my feet warm in any weather condition...the insulation was incredibly thick. I realize I've commented on more than the question you asked but the question you asked suggested, to me, you had not been able to try these on in person. Hope this is helpful.

Don't know about muck boots. We both love the sloggers. They wouldn't be good for someone with wide feet. My husband has narrow feet, he loves them. I have med width. I ordered one size up. I like them. They are great for the weather.

I have only used these once so far and was when I went crabbing from a boat. I did not seem to be too warm in them and the weather was nice but not hot. The legs of the boots are roomy enough so as to get ventilation inside of them. Overall, I really like them, especially for the price. Where I plan to use these will be for standing in 50 degree water and will be adding wool socks with I am fishing.

As long as your shoes/boots have space I wouldn't know why not. These socks are typically worn in cases where your feet will be in water (wading through rivers) for longer periods of time so wool socks over them in submerged water would provide little to no insulating value and would likely add weight to your feet with drenched socks.

Sure, but your feet would get very cold. These are rubber rain boots and not lined.

It will all depend on how sedentary you are. I wear these when I drift fish for steelhead in a boat for 10 hour+ days. The temps are usually 35F and below. I also wear a polartec beanie, balaclava, 3 other mid-layers, 3 pairs of smartwool socks and Baffin boots. If you will be actively moving about, this is not for you.

These go inside of a pair of boots - I use Hodgeman felt bottom boots for traction. I use them for fishing in rivers on the Oregon coast in Fall and Winter and the water can be quite cold. They seem to be waterproof to me although we use them more for wading in and out of the water not standing thigh deep for hours at a time so I don't know about extended time under water.

I would not try it.... boots and shoes for water/snow protection only. Proper use requires heating boots or shoes first.
