Best Ice fishing Boots Period ...

[titelines]

Going on my 4th year with my cabelas infernos, feet have yet to get cold, got a back up pair from the bargain cave for $60, they have been sittin around for almost 2 years now.

+1 Had my first full season with mine last year and they are great. Less than $150.00 for 2000 grams of Thinsulated bliss. Snowmobiling, plowing, standing in ice water or kicking open skimmed over ice fishing holes and my feet haven't been cold yet. Feet don't sweat either. Just wear a good pair of socks, I use a nice Smartwool.

Bass, I have had 1000 gram rubber boots for the last 4 years and will never go back to regular boots. Your feet and pants will NEVER get wet and they are plenty warm, no need to tie when gloves are on or anything like that. And as long as you get a thicker sole, your feet are off the ice quite a bit. Like I said, I will never go back to normal boots...

Go with a size 12 for sure. More room = warmer, always. The Predator Extremes from the big C are $150 right now. I'm happy with the pair I have but would have went with the higher end ones if they had them when I ordered mine. Warm boots.

I like Micky Mouse boots. The white "bunny" boots have more insulation and are warmer than the black ones. The "bunny" boots are a little bit heavier tho.

I have heard great things about Cabela's Trans-Alaska III Pack Boots. A lot of mushers use them up here in the Ely. The are big and bulky but very warm.

I bought some Sorel's last year on clearance. Not sure what model but they are the really tall ones that look like they would be a little cumbersome. I usually don't like these type of boots but like you my feet tend to get cold so I tried them on. They are extremely warm, the sole has a really thick cushion so I can stand on them all day, and they are really light. I'm not talking as in light for that size of boot either, I'm talking light as far as any boot goes. I was really surprised. Didn't think I would like how tall they are but I tuck my pants in them and my ice armor bibs on the outside just keeps everything warm!

Ended up going with a rubber boot. Lacrosse alphaburly sport. 1500g thinsulate. Heard from a couple people they are super warm boots. I guess I'll just have to see for myself.

I am curious if anyone cares where things are made? You can get PAC boots and other good cold weather boots from Hoffman boots, Whites boots, and Nicks boots as well as Russel boots from Wisconsin. Most PAC boots can be had from between 150 and 200, MADE IN USA and customer service is unbelievable. I emailed Hoffman boots with a question and the OWNER, emailed me back. Also all these boots can be customized with what ever you want. I understand if a boot made by people getting 25 cents an hour make boots 3 times better at half the cost, but we are talking comparable quality. I can call the owner of these boot companies and they will fix any problems, all these boots can be rebuilt, and I can pick any feature I want in my boot and thy cn add it.

People always complain things ate not made here anymore and this is why.

Bump.

Just because I think warm boots make all the difference ice fishing.

I'll agree on the Ice Mans. They are awesome. I do make sure to wear my good wool socks and I've never had a problem.

Great choice Bass! You will not regret it one bit.

Woody Max by the Muck Boot Company. Warm, knee high, totally waterproof, fairly lightweight, very comfortable, & good tread with the soles being thick enough to put ATV tire studs around the edges when that early spring thaw/re-freeze ice sends most people sprawling.

DO NOT wear them into the house on a hardwood floor if you install the studs, or we'll need to start a "Killed by Wife" thread!!!!

Great all around boot. Hunting and Ice fishing. Yaktraks are made for them too! I havent wore my pac boots since i bought the mucs 7 years ago!

I have a couple pairs of Mickeys and loved them until I picked up a pair of Baffin Impacts last year at Gander in Baxter. They were 20% off and I had another coupon for an additional 20% off. I stole them for under $100! They are a little bulky and hard to find ice cleats that fit them, but they are just as warm, if not warmer, than my old Mickeys. They are extremely lightweight and they feel like you are walking on a pillow. I heard people complain they weren't waterproof, but late ice last year I had no issues of wet feet after walking through water. I have tried Cabela's boots, Lacrosse and Irish Setter before I thought I was set on Mickeys. That was until put on my Baffins.

the big C has their pac boots on sale. picked up some irish setters cheap.

gander also has boots on sale. baffin impacts for 111.

Cabelas Trans Alaska are by far the best all around warmest boot out there. Yes they are bulky but not to heavy they have 3" of insulation below your foot and cinch up to your foot like a sneaker. I walked around lakes with no problem. PLUS They are on sale right now. Oh and forgot to mention that they are 100% waterproof.

i got the columbia bugaboots with the li-po battery in them they plug into the wall and charge and have 3 different heat settings and are waterproof...

[ditchpickle6996]

Recently got a pair of Muck Arctic Pros and wow are they awesome. I know it hasn't been real cold yet but I have a feeling I will never wear my pac boots again.

For 2 years I spent tons of money on good boots from Whitetail Extremes, Pac Boots, etc finally settled down on the Irish Setter Exo Flex Boots. They are a hybrid of some sort of rubber and neoprene. 1000g insulation is whats in them and man they are warm but yet breathe. I wear them year round for mudding with the wheelers, duck hunting, and ice fishing. Best part about it is they come up half way up the shin are water proof as can be. Really comfortable as well, and if I can remember right they were not that much compared to other well insulated boots.

Im thinking these will be my next boot purchase. Ill be like 6'9" tall with them on though.
