Warm rubber boot idea

I'm thinking about buying a set of over sized rubber boots and using the liners out of my Predator Extreme inside them. I want rubber boots but my feet get really cold so I think this is the only way I can make it work. Anyone try anything like this before?

Not a terrible idea but there is easier options. I just got a pair of Baffin Titans and they fit the description you have given to a tee. I know Kamik also makes a couple pair with removable liners. Not sure if they are going to be as warm as the Titans though. At $95 per pair from Amazon the Titans are also a good deal IMO.

I have a pair of alpha burlys, great boots but my feet got cold last night in my 38* garage In just a half hour. I'm not kidding about getting cold feet, I have the Predator Extreme boots and they are the warmest boots I've ever had, makes my ice kings feel like wet socks. Even with the Predator Extreme my feet got cold this deer season in 30* temps. If I'm moving my feet stay good it's just when sitting still. I know what socks to wear and I bought my boots a size bigger and don't even pull the laces tight.

I don't think I'm going to find anything warmer then the Predator Extreme but I'm just looking for something in a rubber boot that easy to slip on. As far as comment on the Mucks that what I'm thinking getting in the Arctic Pro or possibly the Clam rubber boots and then still getting them big enough to slip the liners from my Predator Extreme into.

The Baffin Titan is easy to slip on, rated to -148, and has a nice little snow cuff drawstring at the top. Basically sounds like what you're looking to build out of your predator liners and muck boots combo. The boots you mentioned buying, Muck Arctic Pro, cost way over $100, and you've still got to use your own liner to make it work in really cold weather. If I were you, I'd just buy the Baffin's for around $100 with the liners in them already, built for temps well below zero without any jimmy rigging or oversizing

Here's a good suggestion for everybody that is trying hard to keep their feet warm! Get some Reflectix insulation and trace outline's of your feet on it. Use a scissors to cut them out. When you put these in the bottom's of your boot's, you might be surprised by how much warmer your feet will feel. If your boot's came with a removable insole, remove it and put the Reflectix in their place. Then re-install your removable insole's. Good luck and warm tootsie's for everyone! grin1DIRTBALL wink

That's what I did with my Muck Arctic Pro. The Reflextic makes a big difference in keeping the cold out. The right size boot and good wool socks with polypropylene socks as a base also help keep your feet dry and warm.

      Problems with Yetti

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
