If you've got a cabelas some of the Meindl boots are nice.
How cold is it? You might not even need insulation, just a leather boot and wool socks.

i own those boots in your pic, i use them for rucking in the spring/summer/fall

i used to use them in the winter(with wool sock layers) until i got gifted another pair of boots, theyre great action boots. great for sprinting and hiking as opposed to most heavy thinsulate boots which are made for keeping your feet warm while standing still.

up there, but id say with respect that danner costs more and is higher quality. theyre also recraftable boots that can be made to last a lifetime.

I have a pair of their Mountain Light IIs. Ive only worn them to work. It only took about three days of being on my feet for them to break in. My only complaint is that the tongue slips to the side but this seems to happen with most pair of shoes/boots.

That happens with the quarry loggers I have. the little leather strip that sits on top of the tongue with the frill at the end always ends up on the side.

Otherwise, Danners are pretty solid boots.

When I was in the Marines (infantry), most guys would upgrade at some point to the USMC-logoed Danners because they were so much better than most of the other options. I still wear mine 4 years later.

I have a pair of pronghorns and I love them - the mobility is excellent, they're lightweight and they're extremely tough and the waterproofing is excellent on top of all that.

That said, while you certainly won't freeze in them I can't recommend them for extended outings in temperatures below about 25F. If you're looking for three-season boots then Pronghorns are an excellent choice through and through but if you need a winter boot then I'd go with either 200gr or 400gr thinsulate. 600gr and 800gr ratings are overkill for pretty much anywhere outside of the arctic circle IMO.

That's highly up to activity level and personal preference. For me 400g is the magic number while hiking but when hunting and being still most of the time I prefer 1000g.

Check a website called 6pm. It is an outlet and gives good deals.

I own some Sorels ans they are amazing winter boots. My feet have never been even slightly cold while wearing them.
