Kettle Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 I have a pair of camucks from Steger mucklucks, love them. My feet never get hot or sweaty but never get cold either. Nice to have warm feet but not hot. Wear them ice fishing a ton and for being in the woods they are quite as can be.Kettle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

picksbigwagon Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 I bought the arctic pro' last year and love them. Used them ice fishing, never had to use heavyweight socks with them.......you will love them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moby1 Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 I've had a pair for 2 years also and love them. I use them ice fishing and deer hunting also. I would definitely get them again. I got mine new on hsolist from a reputable footwear seller and saved about $50 off retail.I've tried a lot of other insulated knee boots and all have cracked at the bend point within a year. Pac boots are too bulky.One thing Ive found out over the years that kind of surprised me at first is how boots are rated. I couldn't figure out how my feet would get cold even when my boots were rated for well -0. The ratings are active. Heck a guy could wear some pretty low insulated boots in cold weather if stomping around for grouse vs sitting still in a deer stand. That's two entirely different worlds😊I don't know if they have changed but the one complaint I've heard is the lack of the little tab on the back of the heel making them a little tougher to get off. I just roll the top down half way. Before taking them off. Plus that way u can use them around deer camp, off and on in a snapEnjoy the boots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boar Posted October 12, 2014 Author Share Posted October 12, 2014 looks like I madea good choice thanks guys. I bought my wife and daughters a pair of baffins last year rom recomendations here, they love them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportfish Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Did you guys buy a size bigger to fit better with heavy sox ? I might order a pair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
picksbigwagon Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 You won't need heavy socks, midweight or lighter hiking socks are all you need, they are extremely warm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 I have a pair of lacrosse alphaburly 1600gram boots. I have a few friends who have mucks and swear by them. I will say I think the mucks are more comfortable but haven't had the opportunity to wear them for more than a minute. I hate the weight of my lacrosse's, but am wondering if the mucks are as warm as the 1600grams of thinsulate in the lacrosse boots? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crappyfisherman Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 I love my Arctic Pro, light,water proof and warm. Also easy on and off. The biggest thing is to buy the right size boot and wear the right type of sock. I wear a size 11 shoe so I got a 12 in the Mucks because I use heavy weight Wool whisking socks. My feet stay dry and warm. I have been using these for 2 years without any problems. Before that I had the Lacrosse Iceman. They where warm but heavy.

live4chrome Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 wow for cool,Kenai penn, AK? was there once as a kid. miss it. Yea, been spending the summers in soldotna, working on the kenai and kasilof rivers. Only downside is it makes it tough to fish back in Minnesota after a summer of "real" fish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slick2526 Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 dont think anything at Gander is a good price.IMO +1Unless on clearance. The regular priced items in that store is a joke. Dont know how they keep the doors open in Fargo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAMAN Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 To be fair, the ones BigDave was pricing at Gander were the Mossy Oak colored boots which are typically $30 more than the standard brown, which are around $165 at Gander. About $135 with free shipping on evil bay is the best price I have seen for the brown ones. The best price for mossy oak I have seen is about $180.
