Overboots
Product Description
Perfect For Moderate To Minimal Movement In Single Digits to Negative Twenties.
When I told the Marine Corps about the new Herman Survivor boots, they asked about an overboot. They wanted an overboot that could be used with existing issue combat boots. It had to be as light as possible, easy to put on, and had to perform to -25°. I had made several custom Wiggy's Mukluks that are rear entry, so this became rear entry for ease of putting on; if you wear a good sock like the Lamilite Sock, -25° is not a problem. The sole is the same construction as I use for the Wiggy's Mukluk. The upper shell is a waterproof 600 denier polyester and the lining is 200 denier oxford nylon, also waterproof laminated to the L-6 Lamilite. In addition, there is a one-inch web strap that goes around the ankle to hold it in place. Hunters, you can now have warm feet if you are in a tree stand. You needn't take the boots off if you have to get out of the tree in a hurry. There are products on the market that you put on when you get into your stationary position. These were not made for walking. With the Wiggy Overboots, however, you will be able to walk, run and, to some degree, climb. They are made to fit all hiking or hunting boots.
Color: Black - 600 Denier Nylon

Good over boots
I have worn these for 3 to 4 days a week for the past four weeks or so. Temperatures from -13 to around 20 above. Often in snow that was about four inches deep. Under the over boots I wore a mid weight wool sock and a pair of leather work boots.
First, what they didn't do well. If you are looking at these to keep your feet warm while doing something static, like sitting in a tree stand or duck blind, they don't do that. Feet got cold in about half an hour while wearing them in weather around 20 degrees. This isn't really a surprise, don't know of many boots that will keep your feet warm in that weather while sitting still. I don't think these boots were designed for that anyway. Was worth a try though.
Now, onto the good points.
These worked great when I was moving around. Whether it was on a job site over steel toed boots, or hiking through the woods. Put them on, went out in the weather, came back eight hours or more later and still had warm feet. The snow doesn't stick to them either like it does leather boots. Just brushes off. Which leads to a nice feature. When you go to go in the house, take these off and your boots don't track snow and dirt inside the house. Got them soaked on day, set them by the door and the next morning they were dry. No boot dryer needed.
Durability wise, they have held up well. Even after weeks on a job site. Kneeling and kicking frozen pipes out of the snow hasn't hurt them at all. Aside from dirt, still look good.
Over all, happy with them. Thank you.
