I am looking for an updated down bootie. What I would like is:
low rise or slipper height
water resistant down (or primaloft) insulation
bottom with some traction (better than just plain cordora nylon with dots of silicon)
light / compressible.
Alternatively, I would be happy with something that would go over shoes/sandals, e.g. sort of a foot quilt like some of the biking booties on the market.
Any suggestions?
The back story is that this year have have doing trips wearing primarily either luna sandals or 5 fingers shoes. When I am moving, even when it's cold, my feet are fine. If I am standing around in the evening, and the temp drops to <=30F, my toes are getting cold. On solo trips this isn't an issue because I don't stand around… I am moving or I am getting under my quilt. On trips with groups though, there can be several hours in the evening. I am getting tied of my feet getting cold.
