Did you get insulated alphaburly boots? I want to buy some but not sure if I will regret buying the 800 G insulated alphaburly‘s or if I ought to get the non-insulated ones. My feet get cold easy but it’s not cold in Texas very often.

I have found that my uninsulated Irish setter rubber boots work very well into the 30s-40s. In fact, I never pulled out my insulated boots this season. A nice pair of wool socks and straight rubbers for me unless it’s just down right cold. And it’s got to be low 20’s to teens for me to start getting a bit uncomfortable.

The 800gr Alphaburlys have been great to me. So much so that after the first pair wore a hole above the ankles, I bought a second pair. I cut the tops off the pair I wore a hole in above the ankles. And now have a pair that still keep the feet warm. But also sweat less in when walking. I do find that the insulation absorbs a lot of moisture helping to keep my feet drier. I always put them on a boot dryer when I get home to help ensure my feet stay dry for the next day or the next hunt.
Being that the uppers are neoprene, I roll them down when walking. That is how I wore a hole about 6 inches above the ankle before I cut them off there. It's also nice having two pairs now . They do catch a lot of cockle-burrs when rolled down.
My next pair will be the 1200gr or the 1600gr for more stationary type hunts where not as much packing and hiking in is done. As well as colder days like this weekend as an example.
