What's the best icefishing boots

[adamr]

I'm still using the bunny boot and am looking for something lighter with more support.

My lacrosse alpha icemans are pretty sturdy and to top it off there light.

Muck Artic Pro.

I don't know exactly how good they are but I decided to try the Clam Ice Armor Onxy boot this year. they also came out with their sub zero boot that is suppose to be even warmer then the onxy but I don't care for the looks of them.

I would go with the Ice Armor Sub Zero boots. I've been wearing my bow hunting boots for the last 5 years and finally Clam came out with boots so I don't have to wear my bowhunting boots. Yes you feet get sweaty but as long as you only wear one pair of Ice Armor Merino Wool socks your feet will not get cold. We fished -30 below many times and never had a problem. One thing you must do is invest in a boot dryer with these boots and dry them out after every use if you don't then your feet will get cold.

I'm with you. Been using bunny's for years and before reading your post, I was going to recommend them...but they do have flaws. Comfort and gripping (ice Cleats a must) are not there strong suit. But dollar for dollar they can't be beat. I'm at that phase in life when I can start "upgrading" so I'm also curious...

P.s. been eyeing those cabelas Alaskan pac boots for awhile.

My Mucks are my hunting boot and fishing boot. Light, warm, and comfy.

Lacrosse ice kings. Very warm but bulky, I've had mine for 20 years and probably will be buying another pair this year.

I made the mistake of wearing leather cloth boot such as the Onyx Ice Armor boots on a rainy slushy ice day. My feet were completely soaked and cold that I had to cut my trip short. Never again.

Always choose some sort of muck or rubberized waterproof insulated boot. Dont make the same mistake I did that day.

If I am standing on the ice or hole hopping I love my Ice Kings (La Crosse)but they are not what i want for pulling walking or running to a tip up... bulky, in fact it is hard to drive a truck with them on.

I've been using Cabela's Switchback boots for a few years now and they are great because they have 1600g of Thinsulate insulation and my feet stay warm and dry, but are flexible enough to walk on without feeling like your walking with flippers on. If you can't find those, I'd recommend trying the Cabela's Inferno boots or Clam's Subzero boots.

muck boots...

I bought Kamik Goliaths last year and I love them..They are rubber with removable liners...Kept me nice and warm for deer hunting and ice fishing...I would say the only negative is the weight probably...I love them anyway

Last season I got a new pair of Irish Setter Snow Tracker Pac Boots. I must say that I did love them. They were a little heavy but very nice and did offer alot of support. They were also very warm. I can honestly say that my feet did not get cold at all last winter wearing them.

[Ballyhoo]

Every foot is different. Me and a buddy can wear the same boots and my feet will get cold and his won't. There is no one boot that fits all the scenarios of ice fishing. Mucks or a water proof boot are good in the spring or when it is wet, Ice Kings or Ice Mans are good when it is cold but they are bulkier. It just depends on if you are doing a lot of walking, sitting outside or in a house. I know guys whose ice fishing boots are tennis shoes as they go from their heated pickup to their heated house.

+1 for Kamik

I have yet to find a boot that have been better for me and my feet than my Baffin Impacts. They are a little bulky, but really lightweight. My feet never have been cold and it feels like I'm walking on a pillow.

My Cabela's 8pt boots have been great over the last 3 years of hard use. Still waterproof, leather is still good, the only thing I don't like is that they have lace eyelets instead of the hooks so it takes longer to lace them up.

I've stood in deep slush for hours without a problem. I just apply Obenauf leather protectant once a year and they've been fine.

I have been using Muck Arctic Pro boots. They are comfortable and tall so your feet stay dry when drilling alot.

I have the Irish setter snow claw xt and have had no problems. Dry and warm all the time.

I would say that these are the best one's I have used.

I used to have Lacrosse Icepacs. By the time I bought my new boots my feet were getting pretty cold regularly in the Icepacs but I think it was mainly because they were almost 10 years old. Now I have a pair of Baffin Workhorse boots. They are a composite safety toe but I need them for work and I also use them ice fishing. I don't even need a 2nd pair of socks in them and like someone said before, my first thought when I put these boots on was that I was walking on pillows. I don't know anyone else with Baffin boots so I took a chance since work paid the bill on them. Time will tell how well they hold up but they are warm, light, and comfortable.
