    US Army White "Bunny Boots" Bata 13R

    "Bunny Boots is the widely-used nickname for U.S. Army Extreme Cold Vapor Barrier Boots (Type II). The bulbous rubber boots have no liner but retain warmth by sandwiching up to 1 inch of wool and felt insulation between two layers of rubber. The white pairs weigh 48 oz. for each boot (or 6 lbs. per pair) in size 9R and are rated for temperates below -20 degrees F. Some white bunny boots apparently are rated to protect an inactive wearer to -40 degrees F. and an active wearer to -60 degrees F. (U.S. Army Pub. "Cold Weather Injury Prevention" 2-8165)." Wikipedia Link

    If you know what you're looking at here then you know how awesome these are. These are the Type II "Bunny Boots" made by Bata (apparently more sought after) and are good down to -40F/-60F. These are perfect for ice fishing or just about any other static winter activity where you're standing around, probably be great for snowmobiling too. I typically have cold feed no matter what and these have been the warmest and most comfortable winter boots I have ever worn. These things feel like giant warm pillows are on your feet, I just can't emphasize how awesome and warm these are. For my fellow sasquatches out there, you can understand how hard it is to find comfortable and warm boots in large sizes. For a size comparison I wear a size 13 or 14 shoe depending on brand/style. I searched for a couple months to find these a year ago, they have some wear but are definitely in serviceable condition (no DRMO stamps anywhere).

    Size: 13R

    Price: $40

    these are great. although not stylish by any means. but who cares when your feet are cosey? very comfortable in the cold and the most waterproof boots I've ever had. I have a pair of these in black otherwise i would buy these
    btw what's the "open before going airborne" valve all about?

      im going to assume those are for jumpers or soldiers so they don't have feet blowing or falling off?

            Awesome boots, So warm that they fill with sweat when it's -20 out.

                    so would they be way too big for size 12 1/2?

                      probably not, they don't make these in 1/2 sizes so 13 would be your best bet. swing by, try 'em on and if they don't fit no worries. let me know...

                        I have a size 12 1/2 and I wear a 13W which is a wide. I've had 14's all I did was inflate them alittle bit and they fit fine. you can blow air into the valve to make them a little tighter.
