Moccasins?
The Burnt Hill Archer:
yup i love using moccasins, for the same reasons already said. i live in upper Pa and i hunted with mocs last archery season. for the winter time, just add a pair of woolen socks. obviously ifn it gets too cold, that just doesnt make sence, but there ya have it.
my father in law just bought a pair of minetonka moccasins from crazy crow.
there is also a buildallong over on PP to make some knee high mocs.

Well I were them and I wore them for the first time in winter this year and well make your souls swade side out the slick side is fun if you like to walk around on skies ;D ;D and there is no water profing them just remember dont wear them wet for to long ;)

I have a pair my dad made me. They are great, but when the ground is wet, then my feet get wet, plain and simple. We did come up with one solution: make the moccasins oversized, then wear a neoprene sock on the inside for added warmth. I had to wear the sock, then my dad took measurements of my feet and made the moccasins to fit. I haven't worn them with the neoprene socks yet, but I'll give it a try this winter.

I read an article online writen in 1500s about rough footed Scots. Who went bearfoot alyear except when the frost came then they would go out in the woods kill a roedeer and fashion shoes out of the hide. but they would cut holes in them to let water drain out. Joel
