Default cold weather flying

do these have some kind of sole? do you wear them over your shoes? i like this option, but i want to understand what kind of sole or insole it already might have, since i'd like to incorporate my heated insoles if possible.

Hi all,

My thread is either 8 months too late, or three months too early depending on how you look at it.

I'm looking for opinions on gear for cold weather flying, and high altitude flying, particularly as it relates to footwear. I'm trying to find a pair of boots which are warm and insulated, but also relatively low profile because i'm looking for rudder clearance. does anyone know of a good brand or specific boot?

thanks dudes.

Here is my preference:

Knee High down booties. When it is 40 below, everything from my knees down gets cold (out of the sun), so these are great. NG for bailing out, but are so breathable I can wear them in all but the warmest weather. I am tall, and the relitively thin soles "make me shorter"...
