If you want warm toes use Baffins.(Image removed from quote.)
I own the Trans alaska and love them, theya re the warmest boots I have ever had. They also have an area in the toe to slide in and remove warmers. you will be happy with these boots

are the baffins and trans alaska boots waterproof? my cabela predator extremes have a fabric covered foam tongue and when using the power auger my feet sometimes get wet.
No boot can compensate for PAD. The best I can say is the Trans Alaska boot is a well made boot with the best under-foot insulation out there. Mine are going on their 6th or 7th season...I can't remember. You may want to check with your doctor, but my guess is that much of your problem comes from sitting for extended periods in low temps. The Trans Alaskas do have a pocket under the toes for a heat pack. You may even want to look into electric socks.Speaking of socks...do you layer your foot wear? I wear Silver liners, Poly Propylene and good wool boot socks. Protecting your extremities is very important. Having enough room in your boots for air to circulate is also important, so size them correctly.RG
What is the weight?? The reason I ask is I have a left leg prothesis and try to stay at below 3..3 1/2 lbs per pr. .Thanks..John
My only knock on the Trans-Alaska boots are that they make your feet stand higher off the ground. Its kind of like wearing platform shoes. If you're not doing a ton of walking, they should be fine. I currently have the Cabela's predator extreme and those feel a little heavier, but your feet are closer to the ground like traditional boots. Both are ridiculously warm.
Thats because of all the insulation UNDER your feet...where you need it on ice. I have a pair, and love them. These are the driest , warmest, most comfortable boot i have ever worn on the ice. (replaced the burly's, and MM's ) . I only wear a pair of silk liner socks in them.....
