Mickey Mouse boots for many years.  Lately Arctic Pro Muck boots.
Work is for people who don't fish!

Always had Sorels, but a few years back decided to try Baffins.

Was suspect of a company with zero warranty.

First pair I ordered was Baffin Trappers      after 18 months the rubber cracked at the toe bend and they leaked.    Contacted Baffin and they basically said no warranty

Found a second pair of Baffin Trappers internet store with a under 100.00 price and I decided to try again …………..after approx 18 months same leakage rubber cracking.

My boots prolly are used 30 times a year for wet yard work or ice fishing.   Not abused and kept indoors and treated proper .


No more Baffin for me.    Looking for another option of a high rubber boot with removeable felt wool liner .   as my i don’t like soaking my Sorels in heavy deep .slush ?..

I don't think anything really beats a pair of white Mickey Mouse/Bunny Boots.

I had to look up the Micky Mouse boots. They look great for the slush, and good price.

As someone who has looked for them for the last 4 years I know this not to be true. And even harder is finding a normal size.
You may have mistaken the used with new. In that case yea 80-100 if you can find your size. Mine is 13 extra wide. None to be had new or used. I’m done looking for them.

I make statements based on my experiences in the location I fished only. Check ice conditions for yourself.
Stay safe. Tight lines.

Check army/navy surplus stores.  There is one around here that had several pairs last time I checked for like $70.

One thing I have done in the past with pac boots.     is add a extra insole under the existing felt liner.       buy one larger than you need and trim to fit.
