Ice Fishing Boots

[sartellangler05]

We are a couple months away, however I'm already thinking about ice fishing. Looking for input on what people have experienced for a good pair of boots that stay warm and dry. I have a pair of Rocky Thinsulate boots, that are starting to leak as of last spring. I got a good 5 years out of them, and probably will stick with the same manufacture, unless someone can sell me on something different.

I'm a vote for Muck Boots, warm and easy to walk in. They can be used for just about anything.

Muck boots are the only way to go. I have the arctic pro's and my feet have never been cold or gotten wet even when standing in water well above the ankle. They are also about the most comfortable piece of footwear I own.

Interesting, I haven't even considered them. Thanks for the input.

Another vote for Muck Arctic Pro's and good pair of Merino wool socks will handle about anything. Only thing I dislike about Muck, is they need a kick plate on the back. Difficult to get off.

Muck boots -Artic Pro and also a pair of slip on booties ( muck ) for around home and garage

I always get a kick out of the guys, and they will post on here I bet, about how their 250,000 gram thinsulate blow up, spray foamed boots that weigh 15#'s apiece are the best boots made. The only reason they stay warm is because they're sweating so heavily from walking in them. Muck's are almost weightless.

Baffin Titans.  Absolutely love mine, very light and warm.  Rated to 140 below, and are only 109 online.  My feet never got cold in those boots once last season.

I have LaCrosse Ice Kings. Very warm but a little heavy.  I guess it's about YOUR feet. Some guys don't need much to keep their feet warm.  Other guys have a challenge. You can't beat the Muck for weight.

I'll second the Baffin Titans.

I have Baffin boots and they are great. Warm and super comfortable. Mine are a composite safety toe since I need them for work also.

I think I read once that the Temp. rating is for walking in the boots not sitting on ice. So just my opinion a boot with a thick sole and enough space around your foot so the boot is not tight on your foot.

cabelas 2000g thinsulate rubber knee boots.  nice thick sole so you get no thermal transfer between the ice and your foot.  watch the bargain cave and you can catch them for $75-$100.

Still love my LaCrosse Alpha iceman boots when its cold.  I put the dunorth ice cleats on them to help me stay upright. warmer day i just wear the old sorell caribous with the same cleat.  the l-xl size in the everyday model works perfect on the boots.

I got my Muck Arctic Pro's about 2 years ago and absolutely love them. Like already stated, those and a good pair of moisture wicking socks and I haven't had cold feet or wet feet in any type of conditions since!

I own both Baffin and mucks. Love my Mucks for all around use, but Baffin's are my go2 for long sits in cold weather...never get cold in those babies. Mucks are fantastic but if I sit for awhile, I do feel the cold.

I ahve 2 pair of Ice Kings and love the warmth but not the bulk and weight. I have friends with muc boots and they have had issues with quality. My friends with Baffins love them and they are light. They may be my next pair of bots if I can find them in the $100 range.

Try a bunch of boots on and remember to have a good wicker sock and smart wool sock over it.

I too am pulling the trigger on a pair of boots this year.  Two of my buddies have the Inferno boots from Cabela's and swear by them.  Waterproof and 2000 gram weight makes sense to me.

Interesting no one mentioned them yet?

I've got a pair of Ice Kings that are going on 9 years old.  Got a leak in one the end of the season last year so am going to try some shoe goo to get by this year.  They are warm  but bulky and heavy.  Interested in buying the Baffin Titans from what I've read but dang all the new ones are pretty pricey.
