Like Hoggs said, I have the infernos too and they work really well for me. I would also reccomend the Saskatchewans if you do alot of standing out on the ice. Have relatives that have em' and they swear by them. Nice and light and lots of insulation between the liner and the ice. I think they have something like 3" of insultaion between your foot and the ice.

My heavy weights are Baffin Impacts. Great warm boots, just not great for long distance walking. My slightly lighter boots are Sorel Caribou's which are also great, a bit better for walking, but still a pack boot and not for high mileage. Both have been great boots and kept me warm.

I had some Ice Kings and although they are priced right and warm I found them to be really klunky when walking around. I gave them to my son and he is happy as he((. I now have some Rocky pacs and I am very satisfied with the fit and warmth. I also like the built in ice cleats. I tried on a pair of the Inferno's and wish I had discovered them before I bought the Rocky boots. Oh well, 10 years from now when I'm in the market for new boots I'll make sure I check out what the Infernos have morphed into.

I have a pair of Helly Hansen Lynx boots that are extremely light, waterproof, and pretty warm. They are great for when I am setting up, hole hopping, or need to be mobile.

If it is -5 or colder, I'll have a pair of Mickey boots with for when I am just sitting.

Equally important to the boots are what you have under. It is usualluy recommended to have on a pair of light wicking socks next to your skin, and a pair of wool socks over that.

I've always heard good reviews about the Infernos but probably won't ever own a pair. Being a mobile fisherman, I've been way too happy with Mukluks and now Camuks. The Camuks Xtreme was made for people who can't believe a Mukluk can be warm (just ask the Eskimos) and has a thicker sole. The lower is completely water proof and although the uppers are not water proof, once sprayed will shed water just fine. Besides, who stands in 6 + inches of water for much time while ice fishing?

They're light and far from bulky. I never look forward to being able to get them off my feet even for driving home.

Just another option.

I am in the market for new ice fishing boots too.

After the last few Minnesota Winters with tons of slush - I will not buy a boot that isnt 100% waterproof up and down. This is a must.

I was at Cabellas this afternoon. They recommended the "predator Dry Plus". Apparently its 100% waterproof and also has a sole that has some built in material that is supposed to prevent the transport of cold to your feet. I am almost sold...but would would love to hear any input from anyone that has owned a pair. They are around 179.00 so it would be nice to hear some feedback before purchasing.

Thanks!

Hoffer
