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.

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

I believe they are only a 3mm bootie. Since I live in Hawaii - I don't need them for warmth, just for a great fit (tight enough to keep water from filling up the boot with a thin wetsuit. I lived most of my life in So. Cal and used this same thickness bootie for diving and boogie boarding. But for No. Calif - I would get a 5mm boot.

No.These are for wading into the water and keeping the water out. Neoprene helps keep you warm.On a lobster boat, you should never wear anything that can fill up with water, as the danger of falling overboard is constantly there. Lobstermen wear layers that shed the water that splashes them. Bib pants, and jacket. With knee boots. If you are on a boat that has a lot of water washing across the deck, then you might wear thigh high boots.

I used a pair this winter in my "L. L. Bean Snow Sneakers". They kept the bottoms of my feet toasty warm; but the tops and sides were still cold. So, it would depend on how well insulated upper part of your boots are. Richard P.-Ohio

I would say no. The feet on these are for walking in the water but you should put on water shoes with the feet so you don't cut them on anything. Lobster men would have reinforced boots on them.

If he is a normal size man, 9 1/2 should be fine. If he's a larger man, go with a 10. These are not insulated waders but wearing extra clothing should work in colder waters.

I actually wear stocking foot fishing waders under these boots. The waders' neoprene foot material is probably about 3mm thick. I ordered the boots one size larger than my shoe size and there is plenty of room. Unless the sock you're thinking of is VERY thin, I would assume that they would not be comfortable unless you ordered the boots a size larger.

These are felt bottom boots designed to grip river rocks. They don't work well in mud which I am assuming you will be encountering hunting

No. These are very nice slippers with high insulation value. Not over boots.

I wore them hunting in 10 degrees with a pair of rocky boots and my feet were quite toasty, as for wearing them inside I do not know. Maybe you should also look at your foot ware also.

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.

You would need to wear something under them. There are meant as a waterproof outer layer only ( in my opinion)

Darnell, are you looking for the correct air force/army use with the wool booties? Personnaly I don't use the military way. I order Sorel liners in place of the GI the wool booties over combat boots. I wear mens size 10 and use size medium N1B. My lady friend wears female size 9 and uses a small N1B. Hope this helps.

Yes, that's what I use them on and they are excellent. Very warm (I rarely use my heaters) and waterproof.

These boots are not watertight as they are meant to be worn with waders which keep your feet dry. In fact, one of their features is that they "drain well".

I would just get a good pair of felt lined waterproof boots and wool socks. These socks are good for keeping your feet dry but they also make your feet sweat a bit. In a cold weather situation these socks would keep your feet dry, but they would also be frozen.
