Default Warm boots for cold flying days

My college roomate was from Vermont (similarly liberal users of road salt). We're driving in his early 1980s Subie when someone pulls out in front of us. He hits the brakes and I instinctively plant both feet firmly on the floor. As we stop, I look down and realize I've just pushed right through the floorboards, and I'm staring at pavement.

Of course, being in college, we just found a piece of plywood, cut to fit, and went on with our lives...

Eric, it sounds like the warm boots would have come in handy that this thread is about ; )

Skyboots - very warm and if you land out you have got your ordinary boots/shoes inside them to walk around in.

Thank you to all who responded. I ordered the Northface Thermoball II Bootie Eric suggested. I will report back when I test them. They looked least bulky and they had excellent reviews plus I can put my heated insoles in them.

Andrzej, I just got the boots from Zappos, they have them on sale now for $56.00. They are warm but kind of flimsy, I will find out how they hold up. I also plan the low-quality insoles they come with and will fly them with my Gerbig heated insoles.

I ordered a pair too, i'm going to put my thermacell insoles in there. hope they are an improvement over the LL Bean cold weather camping booties. those didnt give enough space for the insole.

Well, the boots came and I tried them in my glider. The verdict is they are way to wide for ASH-31 Mi pedals. I finally decided to order boots recommended by Evan.

They are less than 4 1/4" in the widest spot for size 11. Yes, they are expensive but they are really warm.

Glad to know there is some kind of racing future for me, even if it is in dog sledding

I might even get airborne if we go really fast.
