BOOTS!

[CrappiesNCats]

i've decided to use some birthday/x-mas cash to get an AA suit instead of a portable this year. so i will need a boot upgrade from wearing my regular hunting boots. my feet generally get colder than my fingers. looking to spend up to 150 on the boots.

so far im thinking about the ice armor boots. interested in feedback of those boots or others you may use. want them relatively light but comfortable and warm.

thanks

I really like my LaCrosse Alpha Ice Man boots. They maybe aren't the lightest boots out there, but I think the rubber on them are a huge insulating factor and you can probably find them for around $100.

I have poor circulation and my feet never get cold in my Lacrosse Ice Kings. It is like walking on a giant pillow. Love those things.

I also have the LaCrosse Alpha Ice Man boots. I think they are the best boots for on the ice that I have ever owned never had cold feet after I bought them. because of the nyoprim linner you need to take extra care keeping them dry in side but you do that there should be problems

I have a pair of Itasca Ice Hunter 800 that I got around 7 years ago. It's the only pair of boots I've owned so far but I have no complaints and would buy Itasca again.

do not get the ice armor boots. have never seen anyone wear them without water seeping through

I have Baffins and I love them. My feet have never been cold with them on.

They also make the Trans Alaskan III pac boot. Same as above but not camo and ten or twenty cheaper if I recall. I have the Trans Alaskan III. Warmest boot I have ever put on my feet.

I'll give a vote for Mickey Boots. My feet have NEVER gotten cold and I've fished with no ice house for 8+ hours in weather that bottomed out at 25 below (without the windchill). Also have fished in 5 inches of water/slush on top of the ice and didn't get wet at all because the whole outer of the boot is rubber. If you want warm dry feet get some Mickeys. Best part is I get them for $20 so you'd have a lot of that $150 left to put towards your new portable.

Cabela's Predator Extremes are rated for -100 and are the warmest boots I have owned. I have Ice Mans and are good too, but I have to buy new liners every year, they are thich felt and seem to compact over time.

I second the DO NOT get the Ice Armor Boots. Water seepage and arnt that warm. Talked to a rep. at Scheels about them and he told me they are the worst boot in that price range.

I've never found anything better than my white bunny boots that an uncle gave me when he was in the Air Force. Keeps my toes toasty warm with just the boots and a pair of regular socks, even at -30. You can usually find them at an army surplus store.

baffin impact boots.... you will never be disappointed. lighter and warmer then anything else out there

[maxpower17]

I second the Baffin boots. The are by far the best I have ever owned.

Just don't wear socks that are too thick. The insulation of the boot works better with a mid weight sock.

Ice kings here

I really like my LaCrosse Alpha Ice Man boots. They maybe aren't the lightest boots out there, but I think the rubber on them are a huge insulating factor and you can probably find them for around $100.

I've had mine for years and love 'em.

Ice Kings all the way

I have never had any problems with my Rocky Hunting boots - rated 1200 Grams of Thinsulate and never seem to get wet or cold.

[Walleye Guy]

I fourth the Baffins. Your feet wont get cold and the seem alot lighter than Ice Kings and Mickey boots.

[Coach Dog]

I have a pair of Rocky Blizzard Stalkers (about 6-7 yrs old now) that I really like. I paid $80 for them and they are warm and very light.

Mickey boots, 10 buck at fleet farm cant beat it

[hunterjoe]

I've worn the mickey boots and they are very warm. I also own some ice kings and aside from them being a little on the heavy side they are very warm. I think I'm gonna try some Baffins this year. They are much lighter than the ice kings (at least they feel like it).

Anyone try Sorel's Glacier boots? I'm in the market for new boots as well and they seem to be a pretty nice boot and got good reviews from those who submitted reviews online.
