For the average days I don't think you can go wrong with a pair of Sorels.  They keep your feet dry and they are breathable. If you plan on going the next day the inserts come out and can be dried pretty quickly. For those nasty near zero days Cabela's Trans-Alaska Pac boot.  They are the warmest boot I've ever put on my feet and the 3 inch sole keeps your feet off the ice.

another good pointer there  ;) keep yr feet off the ice,make a world of difference in how cold they get. I have a piece of 2" think foam padding that's the length of my jet sled and around 12" wide, supper light wight and fists inside along the edge of my gear, that i place down along the edge of the sled after im all set up works good to keep my feet off the ice and also to place things on for those days that the water on top of the ice, also i can place hooks into the edge of it.

I like a boot with a rubber bottom and leather upper.  They keep your feet dry and let them breath.  My feet sweat a lot and in an all rubber boot my feet get wet and cold.

I had the same problem till I tried Muck boots with only one pair of socks. On real cold days toe Warner's work great.

BTW I realize $240 is alot but being a smoker (poor circulation) and genetically lanky as hell.. i get extremely cold feet, easily. These are worth every penny.

I love my mucks.....feet have never been cold in them.  Mickey Mouse boots work too but are bulky and overkill unless it is extremely cold out.  IMHO.  They do keep your feet warm but do not breathe either so you gotta keep dry socks on hand.  do a lot of walking and your feet will sweat stand still all day and they'll be warm, though

I have bad circulation and always get cold feet first before most do.
Have you tried the Arctic Pro Mucks? The insulation is much more than their base model.  Also make sure you're boots aren't fitting too tight because that will limit good circulation and breathe-ability which are both key to keeping feet warm.
Look into Thermacell foot warmers as well, pricy but nice.
Good luck.

I wear Northern or LaCrosse, dosent matter which. With a felt insole in the bottom and that keeps my feet warm all day long. But they only last me a year, but i do wear them every day. Also a good pair of wool socks helps.

A lot of these boots seem to be very bulky. I'm constantly on the move and I'm just not a fan of walking five miles in clogs. Any suggestions for someone like me?

mickey mouse boots.  when im in my shanty sometimes i wear my 800 redheads.

Its hard to beat a pair of surplus boots, especially price. Mine must be good to over 30 below easy.  Drawback, 4 lbs each.

I'm a Muck Boot fan. I love my Wetlands for spring through fall and they kept me out of jam on sloppy ice last week. That being said, I'm looking for a warmer pair for all around ice fishing. So should I be going with the Arctic Sport or the Arctic Pro? Thanks.
