Ice Fishing Boats

[Alphid]

I am looking at getting a new pair of boots for ice fishing this winter and am wondering about what would be the best kind to get? I perfer to sit outside when fishing but when it get too cold I would move inside?
Would 1000 grams of Thinsulate™ Ultra Insulation be sufficient to keep my feet toasty? I heard that having your feet higher off the ground is also something to consider.
Any advice would be appreciated?

That won't be enough insulation if you don't keep moving. Get battery-operated socks if you get boots that light. I bring along a carpet remnant to sit my feet on. Makes a big difference. Best all-around are pac-style boots like LaCrosse Iceman, Sorels, etc. If you get em big enough for two pairs of socks with room to move your toes around, you'll stay warm.
