Can anyone recommend a good hunting boot with a removable liner? You know like the old Sorrels use to have.

I’ve done pretty well with 35 YO Sorels and 20 YO Lacrosse, but really, there’s a pretty decent crop of competitors out ther which all offer essentially the same thing. Just check the temperature ratings and the features you think make the most sense for you. I do kind of like wool as the liner with a reflective outer to bounce the heat back in…
Temperature ratings should always be taken with a grain of salt, because there’s a huge difference between “comfortable walking around” and “comfortable sitting in one place”.
I have frost-bitten my toes far too many times to have much of a tolerance for sitting around.
I’ve got a pair of lacrosse, a pair of Sorels, and a pair of some fancy, German pac- boots, that I scored on a clearance deal. and as long as I’m moving, there is no difference.
Except that the German boots have ground glass worked into the sole, so I never have to worry about slipping as long as I use a little common sense…

Doc I use sorrel glacier xts pack boots for late season. They are big but light. Easy to control how loose they are on your foot. I also use white's which are very well made but sorrels are the best in my opinion.

Didn't you just ask this same thing last month? Anyway, the Kaufman Sorel is one of the best in my opinion, and I think you can still buy soled felts and use them in the five buckle artics as well.

Schnee’s from Bozeman. Multiple options for heavy duty pac boots. Sitting vs walking should be carefully considered. They wear well overall and the bottoms can be replaced reasonably ( I did it)

I have a lot of hunting boots but the only ones that I have that have removeable liners are my four pair of Sorels. I like my Sorel boots when the temperature drops.

I'll add a third to this. I also have the Hoffman Outbacks. Plenty warm when moving, not bad for shorter sits. (Northern Wisconsin it gets REAL cold). I also have a pair of Sorrel Caribous. No offense to anyone but compared to Hoffmans its like they came out of a Cracker Jack box

For me they size perfect. But I went one size big to allow for wool insole and heavy socks.

In cold weather nothing beats a bunny boot, and for me Sorels sucked. On really cold days if I didn't keep changing the packs my feet froze.

Another vote for Schnees. The Hoffman boot looks good as well

I have the Hoffman Outdoorsman and love them. Great quality, American assembled (liners are from Canada, leather from America and rubber from Thailand). I love a good value and although I'm sure Schnee's and Kenetrek's are fine boots they are considerably more expensive than Hoffman's. They come with 200gm liners and I buy an second pair of 400gm liners so I can switch them out for different conditions or to allow them to dry.

I've used Sorels since the 1970s and have had no problems with them. You have to get a pair with the temperature rating you need for the weather and temperatures you'll be bowhunting in. Pictured are my Sorel Chieftains that have a rating of -100 degrees below zero. I wore them in -20 degrees below zero and my feet never got cold.
