I just got the Cabelas Inferno boot and they are just that! These boots keep my feet toasty warm. They seem pretty light but they are bulky. They are pretty wide. The other day I was on the ice for about an hour with these boots slush covered and my feet were super warm. Sounds like you have pretty picky feet though so maybe you should make a day trip to a Cabelas north or south of Ny and try on a bunch of boots and finish your shopping for ice gear

I have been impressed with Muck boot (woody Max) . Never had cold feet in two years of pretty rugged abuse deer hunting and ice fishing. I am over 300lbs and usually destroy boots in a season but these have fared well light comfortable and warm . Good lugs and traction for mud also but way to warm for bow season though. They are pricey but foot comfort you cannot put a price on.

Military Surplus "Mickey Mouse" or "Bunny" boots. You can get them in any military surplus store or on line for less than $100.00 (sometimes far less). Open the airvalves on the side all the way open. I've been wearing them for nearly 40 years. I've found nothing else like them.

predator extremes or inferno boots at cabelas

fl18guy · « **Reply #66 on:** Jan 01, 2013, 09:05 AM »

my vote is for predator extremes. Wanted the baffins, but had a couple of gift cards and needed a road trip to cabelas in ct anyway. Tried on the infernos and some of the mucks, but didn't like the feel of the infernos. Looked at the sorels, but they arent made like that used to be. Besides the extremes were on sale for 129.97 instore only. With coupons and gift cards, cost me under a 90.00. will post a review after first trip out. Have the black mickeys, and thinkin about getting rid of them, just cant remember what size they are. Kept my feet fairly warm, but some of that was probaly due to heater in shanty. I believe the mickeys are size 12. i will check and post in a few.

I've been using the same pair of military surplus "bunny boots" for about 10 years. My feet are NEVER cold-and they're cheap compared to alot of other boots. They are a little heavy though...

mickey mouse boots, there a little clumsy but you'll be warm... when I'm fishin in a shanty on warmer days, mucks work descent. my 2 cents...

I hunted and ice fished in a pair of Rocky Buckstalkers for 10 years with just a pair of heavy socks. Last year they finally ripped apart so I replaced them with the new rocky pair of rocky deerstalkers 1400 and again just a great boot one pair of smartwools and that's all you need. Last week I was introduced to a pair of Baffin Apex these have to be the best thing I have ever put my feet in just absolutely amazing. I haven't yet had the chance to use on the ice but from all I have seen wearing them around in the snow and cold they are a great buy. They go for 269.00 on baffin.com but I found them on Amazon for around 189.00.
Hope this helps.

It will help some, but not the hardheads who want to wear antique boots. If I won the powerball I would buy everyone on this site some boots from the future.

Went in today with my 1000 gram field and stream rubber boots on today with smartwool socks after I wrung the water out of my socks and dumped the water out of my boot I fished all day np

DeadEyez · « **Reply #80 on:** Jan 01, 2013, 06:30 PM »

Only prob ive ever had with neoprene or rubber boots is splitting due to lots of walking during ice season. On oneida some of the guys do a TON of walking and the rubber boots don't hold up too well.

I was looking at this thread and knew I had to replace my red head insulated rubbers... they got some holes in them from hunting in thorns. Anyway just placed my order on eBay for black Mickey mouse boots, shipping included came to $54.77. I told my wife I don't plan to wear them in the woods, just on the ice....can't wait to try them

travis9791 · « **Reply #82 on:** Jan 01, 2013, 07:28 PM »

spend 40 bucks on mickeys i promise you you will never buy any other pair of boots again.

My last pair of Lacrosse boots tore open after the first season, so I stepped up my budget a bit and pulled the trigger the Cabellas inferno pac boots. This will be my 3rd season with them, so far my feet have never been cold.

Since I've been wearing my Arctic Pro muck boots my toes haven't been the least bit cold. I have poor circulation in my toes so my feet would feel the cold before anyone else did, no fun! I even have a pair of expensive thermacell heated liners that I have yet to turn on because my feet just haven't gotten cold. They're lightweight enough that I also use them deer hunting in the cold as well. Get them, you'll be glad you did!
