Ice fishing Boots?!?

The Sorels of old, are not like the Sorels of now. The original manufacturer sold out to another company years ago. The new owners farmed out the manufacturing to the Chinese, and as a result, reviews of their boots, in recent times, are not as favorable as they once were. I still have my 2 pair of Sorels, bought about 15 years ago. They are decent boots, or I would have gotten rid of them, awhile ago.

Insulated Neos overshoes do it for me. The ones I wear in the Arctic Circle everyday for work are great. Search Explorer STABILicers Mid, Black.

Wear over your regular insulated hunting boots. Just slip off in order to drive back home. Ice studs built in so no slipping. I wear these in temps to -60 up here near Deadhorse AK over my Chippewa Arctic 50 work boots everyday.

I have a pair of the Neos overshoes I use for work, over my tennis shoes. But, man, do I get sweat in them, when I velcro them tight. And these are the uninsulated ones. That might be more me, than the overshoes. Probably not a problem for some, in a cold enough environment. I couldn't use the insulated ones, without getting cold feet.

I've got a pair of Cabelas Predator Extreme boots. Nice boots for sure, but there is one thing I just cant get used to about them. They seem to push your ankle forward, to the point it almost feels like wearing ski boots. I thought it would go away as they broke in, but they are 4 seasons old this winter and it hasnt changed.

As much as I like them I think I will be looking strongly at the Baffins next go round. I have a few friends with them, and they swear by them. Warm and very lightweight.

I also have both these boots. I like the Baffin Impacts more than the Predators. Next boot purchase I might look at the Baffin Titans, or the Clam Sub Zero's.

I just got a pair of muck artic pros yes they are tall and brown. But boy they are comfy and so far they've been warm. I mean it hasn't been that cold only -5 to -20ish. I've just been wearing normal cotton hanes socks. Nice knowing they are waterproof to the top, and they are light. So far I love them. Only complaint is that they were stiff right away but I think that's normal for a boot, now they are broke in.

White or Black Bunny Boots. Military. Cheap and the best IMO.
