I need boot info and input please!

Warm core = warm feet

I had FXR before and now have Klim. Heavier socks or boots or gloves never worked for me, but raising my core temperature a degree or two did. If your hands or feet are getting cold, add another layer or thicker layer to your upper body and maybe you can get rid of the two pair of wool socks that make your feet sweat so much.
 
i never hear anyone on here talk about these but i have a pair of trukke boots and they are great, never had cold or wet feet and the liner has never given me sweaty feet either. just my .02

x2 on the trukke. there are two styles a shorter hmk or klim style and then a taller style. i have the tall style, helps keep snow out when walking and diggin in the deep pow. bought my first pair in 01 and just got my new pair last year. never cold or wet. really light weight, flexible but with some support and really comfortable
 
Snowboard boots for me too.

#1 - I use them for snowboarding too so I didn't have to spend extra cash on boots
#2 - Not too warm, not too cold, just right
#3 - I personally like the stiffness. I got caught under my sled once, pinned by the ankle, and couldn't feel a thing. It was like wearing a cast, yet I don't feel like my dexterity is comprimised at all.
 
I also use snowboard boots... I like the stiffness aswell, saved my ankles a few times. I never get wet or cold feet. The rigid boots help when on a real choppy trail on your way out when you're all tired and your boot gets a little too close to the edge of the board and you hit an unexpected mogul, with a boot with no support your ankle would blow out. the only draw back is they are a bit uncomfortable to walk in.
 
It might be worth looking into snowboard boots. As far as support goes you can get anything from very soft and comfortable (usually a park style boot) to something much stiffer (a free ride boot). That being said, typically boots over the $200-$250 range are designed to be ridden 100+ days, and are very light. I've had a pair of Thirty-Two boots that have 200+ days and still are supportive and keep my feet warm and dry. A good pair of socks also goes a long way, especially keeping them from bunching up keeps your feet warm.
 
Two years ago I bought the KLIM gore-tex boots when they came out, the model that's really just a hunting type of boot........previous to that I was wearing snow board boots.

The KLIM boot is not as warm as a snow board boot or KLIM"S later model gore tex snow board boot. MY boots have the rubber on the toes gone, lots of frayed threads around some of the stitching. Like all gore tex boots after a couple of years of use, they are not as water tite as original.

Insoles that hold toe warmers were my solution on cold days, 10 hours of real comfort. Its nice to be able to walk like a regular human, when I wear the sno board boots and walk like a penguin........not quite as nice.
 
Go with snowboard boots for sure....they have more support than most Sled specific boots and are designed to breathe so your feet dont sweat and end up getting cold.My wife and both use them and have no complaints..We never get cold feet.....i have Salomon and she has Burton!!
