fishing boots

[minnow1]

Guys - help me out.

It's time to get some new ice boots.  I have had LaCrosse Ice Kings for many years now and really like them.  I see a lot of people with the PFT's but they are much taller.  Not sure if I like that.  What do you guys swear by?

For everyday ice fishing I wear my sorels or columbia boots. For the extreme cold and snow I wear Rocky Ice Stalkers 1000 grams of thininsulate and high enough so no water or snow gets in.


And they have flip down ice spikes for traction on the slick stuff

I also use Rocky Ice Stalkers. They kept my feet pretty dry even after stepping in a 10" hole.

Stick with what you know - I've had Ice Kings forever, never had cold feet.

i have a great pair of Rockies for light snow and just ice....nice boots very warm never gotten wet and only about $80

i also have a pair of boots from a store that rymes with kabelas the were about $200.  LOVE those boots i use them only when the snow is real high and i dont need spikes....has inserts for heat packs and has 1000 gram thinsulate only took a few long hikes to break them in and they stay DRY on the outside too!!!!   I wont wear them around first ice only cause they are HUGE the look like moon boots...dont want to go swimming with those around my feet!!!

good luck

Hey thanks guys.  I think I may go with the same ol' Ice Kings. Those Rockys are tempting though.

cant find those ice stalkers anywhere on line...i like the pull down cleats...know where I can get some?....I use my expedition boots when it is really cold and I love them.....but heavy and not good for walking ...I usually throw them in the sled and change into them once i am set up......but my usual footwear is getting old...Karl

Cabelas has great boots. I have the Cabela's Predator Extreme Pac Boots and they are amazing. I can wear them with thin regular boot sox and the internal wool boot keep my feet warm and the outer shell keep them dry as well as warm. They're high enough that there's no way any water can get in. I recomend them because their durability and comfort can't be beat for the price. Good fishin

My Father works for the post office, and has been getting me boots called "Thorogoods" that actually go over your real boots or shoes.  I have also seen similar ones called "Neos" I think LL Bean might seel the "Neos", but these things are the best!  Just about waterproof, and I have never been on the ice and gotten cold feet!  Plus, at the end of the day, they just slide off and your inner boots are good to go, no need to dry them off over night!

i agree i just bought a pair this year 100% rubber extremely warm and light as hell. i forget im wearing them most of the time, i have had 4 back surgeries and the heavy boots kill me. i have a pair of hodgmans pac boots good to -120 and also a pair of lacross ice kings good to-100 they are warm but my feet have gotten wet in both. not so with the muckers i was fishing in slush 8 inches deep last weekend and my feet were toasty and dry. well worth the 70 bucks i spent on them.
