Das Booooot!

[Jim Panfish Uran]

Who let's their wife or girlfriend go out on the ice with them? lol I do! What kind of boots would work best for a cold footed gal like mine? She has an old pair of el cheapo's and I need to get a new pair for her. 
 

How about the guys? What are you wearing?

[Vitreus]

Lacrosse hunt pac for us. They only come in men's, but I got her the smallest size they come in (8). A little big for her but she just wears thicker socks.

 

We both used to get cold feet - these boots are crazy warm. Only complaint is they are pretty bulky, but it's a small price to pay for warm feet.

I am wearing a pair of cabelas breaks boots with 1200 grams of insulation. I had a pair Irish setters but I wore the bottom off after 12 years. It sucks having huge feet.

 

for your lady it comes down to will she be walking in them or sitting? If she will be mostly sitting and fishing a pack boot like my brother got with 2000 grams of insulation

I wear lacrosse ice kings. Warmest boots I have ever owned. They might make a version for women.

Yes they do make then for Women. My wife has them and I have the Ice Kings. Great for all day on the ice or below sledding.

Cabela's Predator Extreme!

Warmest boot that I have ever worn!

Get 1 size larger then you usually wear! Bulky but very warm while sitting on the ice or deer stand!

Muck Artic Pro. Warm and can walk through a foot of slush/water all day long and your feet stay dry.

Hodgman Super tempking, bought them in 1995 still the warmest boots i have ever owned. a bit bulky but warm for 10+ hours on the ice..

[Neighbor_guy]

Steager Muclucs are by far the best I have ever owned. Right now I'm wearing Muc Boots arctic sports with a thermacell liner for those break the chill moment. 

 

I have purchased the thermacell for my daughter as well. Increased the enjoyment of hunting/ice fishing x100

Just picked up a pair of these a couple weeks ago.  On sale, $60 off retail.  Pretty happy with them and haven't even thought about my feet when wearing them.  I expected them to feel a little clunky but took the chance.  I don't think they're clunky at all.  I've pulled my ice gear for hundreds of yards and the only problem I had was having a rub at the top of the liner on my leg due to not having high enough socks on.  I cured that problem, now all is well.  Cliff is right, get 1 size larger than you normally would.  

 

A woman recommended these boots to me if that tells you anything you want to know.

Mukluks have been my favorite in the past too.  I bought my wife a pair but she doesn't move around enough when fishing outside to make them work like they should.

 

I also went the Thermacell route a couple years ago for my insulated rubber boots for wet conditions.  It's really nice to click em on with the remote and get toasty toes again.  A great option for staying warm in smaller, less insulated boots.

 

I bought the PAC boots noted above partly because I lost track of the Thermacells after our move.  But like usual, I found them again two days after in my fishing coat that I hadn't worn this season yet!

[Jim Panfish Uran]

Lots of good choices guys! What's the thermacell deal?

Instant 100 or 110deg heated insoles with the tap of a button. 

 

the only problem is if you loose the remote your up a creek. Each pair of insoles is paired to a remote at the factory. Lose one the other is worthless. 

 

I use them primarily for my waders in the fall, but they are great for when your sitting still in the deerstand or fishhouse too. And easy to shut off when your active.  

[Jim Panfish Uran]

You'd think they'd make a darn easier remote system. That's a lot of coin to lose in one whack lol

[Neighbor_guy]

It's so you and everyone around you can have a set and only control your own. If they went to a cheaper radio remote system then only one person in the house would have control of everyone else. 

[Jim Panfish Uran]

I think a wired switch would be easier to maintain?!?!?

[Wanderer]

There is a less expensive model that doesn't use a remote but you have to obviously take your boot off to turn it off/on.  I didn't want to do that even though they're thermostatically controlled.

 

I wanted to be able to manage the battery life better with the remote.

 

Funny thing was I never lost track of the remote - just the insoles for a while!!!

[Jim Panfish Uran]

Lol yeah I can see us losing that dang thing, but maybe not. I think buying something like that would make you keep track of it lol.  She does have a bad case of cold feet, maybe the insoles would be better than any boot could do for her anyways. 

[Jighead4914]

I would like to try a pair. the black ones are this years model?

[Jighead4914]

I bought the black pair at least 2 years ago, shortly after they hit the market.  I think there were 3 different models ranging from $99 - $179 if memory serves.  Non remote, remote with on/off (Neighbor guys), remote with high/low/no heat and removable batteries (the black ones I posted).

 

Not sure what might've changed in the past couple years but that's what I remember.

[Jighead4914]

Thanks Wanderer, they look like they would be great to have. i mite do what Jims thinking about doing and buy a pair for my girl.

[Wanderer]

Nothing says I Love You better than expensive gifts.   They'll like 'em.

 

They might even like them better than some jewelry!  Maybe not diamonds though.

[Jighead4914]

LOL very true .

[Jim Panfish Uran]

This will cover you for the lack of flower deliveries lol. But in all honesty, these seem like a no brainer. 

[Jighead4914]

I will for sure check them out next time im at Reeds in walker. which is way to often

Muclucs are for trendy Granola eaters who have to much money and want to look cool around town!
