What To Look For
When you are searching for Thinsulate boots with sponge rubber padding, be sure to select a pair that has a rubber toe on the exterior. While Thinsulate padding can keep your foot warm, no insulation will keep your feet warm if they are wet. Look for boots that are comfortable around the heel and the ankle. This area can tighten if the fit is wrong, making the boots extremely uncomfortable.
Common Pitfalls
Avoid boots that do not come above the ankle. When the boot hits above the ankle it is more effective at preventing moisture and cold air from seeping into the footbed. Avoid boots that feel too heavy on the foot. Hiking and other outdoor activities can prevent topographical challenges. A boot that is too heavy or binding can make navigating rough terrain very difficult and can lead to injury.
Where To Buy
The best place to purchase Thinsulate boots with sponge rubber padding is at a local sporting goods store, or an outdoor sports store. Places such as Eastern Mountain Sports are good options. Online retailers such as Cabela's or Gander Mountain also offer a wide selection with reasonable prices and a good return policy.
Cost
You should plan to spend between $60 and $200 for a pair of Thinsulate boots with rubber sponge padding. Although this may seem like a steep price to pay, the durability of a high quality boot with Thinsulate lining is considerable, and it is very likely that with proper care, you will not have to purchase another pair
