Offalot Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 My wife likes doing stuff outside in the winter but just can't seem to find the right pair of boots that keep her feet warm for long periods of time.I have some nice 1600 grams Irish Setters from Cabelas but they are a little heavy. Any info would help.Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FISHINGURU Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 the saskatchewan pac boot from cabelas in an awesome boot...best boot i've ever personally worn...its pretty light for being such a big boot...check em out once on the cabelas site...i've used them hunting so far and the coldest my feet have been is lukewarm lol.we've done some 6-8 hour sits and my buddies are always sayin how their feet are so cold...my feet haven't even got cool yet...maybe if i was gonna be in -50 on stand for half a day i could put toe warmers in my liners...you can slide in warmers right in the pac boots liner.

SomethingFishy* Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Have her try either the ladies or boys version of the Rocky Blizzard Stalkers. My girlfriend will spend all day/night on the ice without complaining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrklean Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 I have sorel boots and in 3 years of ice fishing my feet have gotten cold 2-3 times total and it was very very cold those days. I love the things, there like walking around will small kids on your feet somedays but my feet never get cold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
169Sportsman Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 If she is active when she is outside she may be able to get by with some muck boots. They make many different styles and they are very light and comfortable. My girlfriend has the woody max and so far so good but havent tried them in real cold yet.

hunt fish repeat Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Since you said wife not girlfriend I would recomend the cheapest Wal-Mart boot available. I guy's got to have some down time without her wanting to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Carlson Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 If $170 is in the budget, and you just wish to do this once, I also agree the Cabela's Tran's Alaskan III boot / or there camo version the Saskatchewan Boot.Warmest and lightest -130 boot I have ever owed, a very comfortable active or non active use boot.

JSK76 Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 keep her warm and happy with Ice Kings. If they don't do it nothing will, well atleast the warm part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might need to give these a walk next time I'm in Cabelas as I'm looking for a new pair of good boots.They kind of look like Moon Boots though. Does it feel like you are walking around a Chalet in your Ski Boots? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
&JAG Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 How much do you love her??? If you love her a lot LaCrosse Ice King, but if you gotta deal with her more than you want anything under $40... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goblueM Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Depends on what she wants to do... look into Steger Mukluks. Look great, and are super lightweight and warm. Can't beat them in the right conditions. I don't wear em icefishing or when its hovering around the freezing point because they can get wet, but if water is not an issue that is what I would go with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanderer Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 If you get her a nice pair of Mukluks and some good socks, like was previously mentioned, she'll be keeping you warm too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
