I'm going to be making these just for fun.
But I do have a few questions.
Firstly is it possible to make these too warm?
Secondly is using a second exterior layer of insulation just on the foot area in the way that the new Canadian army winter boot is made a better way to go, rather than having two full length layers such as an inner heavy fleece sock?
I have an old German made blanket here that I bought S/H in an Op-Shop from the dog blanket box because it looks like it was hot washed and has semi-felted and is almost 20mm thick. I was going to use this as the primary legging and use some lighter weight blanket as a foot only cover.
I have been experimenting with sewing my own hut booties at the moment and they are much warmer and more comfortable with a double layer on the sole but I doubt I can sew through that many layers of the heavy blanket I have so what is the best way to have enough insulation under the foot, other than felt , CCF or something like the Supafeet reflective footbeds?
