mickeys black or white last me the longest with being waterproof and no liner to wear out.ive had them over 6 years so far. my lacrosse ice kings cracked after 2 years. my ithasca boots have lasted but the liners are junk along with not being very waterproof.after my next pair of mickeys I might try some mucks.
perhaps this thread is too old i will see if i get any members to join a new thread.
i read this from the beginning,, i had to temp seal my old conquest sorels finally started leaking last seasons slush .. i like them still only 400grams thinsulate but i use hand warmers ..i'.m a 10.5 and 11.5 fit perfect ..enough room to move my toes with a good blend wool sock cushion wicking high tec sock i guess ..cabelas got them for 16.00 ,, any way aquasealed where the rubber meets the leather last season..this weekend ,,i had brand new cabela trans alaskan size 11 boots i thought i was going to use but out of the box they felt so tight , i said no way and put them back in the truck..luckily i brought along my old pair of sorel conquests on this outing too. Sorels seem okay for now..aquaseal is amazing sealant for emergencies like waders rubber boots,so far to date still waterproof and feels like a durable bond. I called Cabelas and they said they will honor return with no chanrge for return shipping. I was looking at the inferno 2000 on sale 127.00 but afraid to order size 11 knowing the transalaskans 11 was so tight.. I do not think i want to risk ordering size 12 knowing my foot size is 10.5 .. i guess i will call Cabelas and find out what they may offer.. i know shoebuy and zappos has pac boots with free both way shipping policy. I guess it is how you tell them.. exchanges they usually charge unless the product is defective or made defective(including sizes no true to fit)
What gram insulation do you guys have in your boot?
yes but if that is what you got and you want to insure warm toes, just toss a handwarmer in before you go out..also wear only one quality long pair of merino blend pac boot socks..they are designed to help with sweaty feet but, the warmers should suffice all day no matter. I would of coarse go with a felt boot slip on with rubber during really slush conditions .. my Baffin hunters are rated minus 70 but are totally water proof.. I would toss in hand warmers if I planned standing in ice slush all day.
I have the muck muckmaster ,its comfortable but it is hard to get pants over.if I am standing in the snow for 15 min I feel the cold I would say they are comparable to sneakers.they are rated for -20 which is a absolute joke.i do not have the slightly heavier ones rated for -60 .after over 10 years of leak free warm feet performance my cabelas pack boat,i think the predator,have developed cankles and need replaced.not sure if I will go cabelas again or try the lacrosse ice kings.i cant imagine buying boots that I had to put handwarmers in
Do you put your pants outside your boots? I tuck pants inside boot, then zip striker bibs over the outside of everything!
How do the Muck Artic Pros fit? I'm a 10.5 or 11 depending on the shoe.
