No none like that but they would fit inside easy enough. There is room for them.

I have the American/Canadian army mukluks and they have felt liners that come out and can be dried seperately also the British army ones do the same. I was told that in makes it easier to dry them out. The Candian/American are a similar outer style to yours but the brit ones are mainly fabric with a wavey base, so not as good grip.
What's the sizing like on the forces Mukluks ? I'm an 8, do I need to allow for a larger size or is that all factored in ?
The USGI ECW Mukluk N1B's sizes range from medium 8-9 to XL 12-13.
I might get some of these, bet they're toasty then.
I'll do my leather ankle boot, wool extra sole, thick wool socks, legwarmer, wool pants routine... Maybe even some footwraps...

Got a picture ? Are they something like the Swedish ski march boots mentioned here ?
Dress for the far North on a budget
Arr, ya wuss... I'm stuffing my wellies with straw and daubing my feet in goose fat!

The boots are pretty much the same, only 100% leather. No rubber.
I'll get back to you on it.

This shows the bus route alongside the lake, from Porjus. £12ish Its cheap enough, and goes twice daily, from what I can make out.
We can get off anywhere, right up to Vietas, or further down, maybe in Aluokta, cross the lake there, and move up the lake and into the woods on the southern side.
Or kebnats kirjaluokta.
Should make for peace and quiet, with few visitors, if any, and great views of the mountains at the top of Sarek national park, northern lights, maybe some wildlife, and an easy escape route.
It really does look like a great spot I think.
Cant wait.
Im gonna bring all my stuff with me to the meet, TP, is working on, and put all my kit on a plastic table so people can see what Im taking.
