Like many of the others said, you can't beat the Mucks. Not only do I use them for fishing, I wear them for work almost every day. One of the most comfortable boots I have ever owned. I have, on several occasions, had to walk 2-5 miles through the woods wearing them. they are awesome.

I have had Muck Arctic Sports for 5 years and love them. Light comfortable and warm enough for me. I have fished in 10'' of slush all day and stayed warm and dry. You won't regret buying them. You will wonder how you fished without them.

I swiched to lacross burlys a couple years ago and I think they work great. The only problem I had was cold creeping in through the sole from standing on the ice so I cut an old felt boot liner and made inserts to help insulate the bottom of my foot. Another thing I noticed is if the walk is tough and my feet sweat they would get cold when I stopped to sit and fish. To remedy that a good pair of polypropelene socks under my wool socks will wick the moisture away.

I have LaCrosse boots also. Work well, but heavy. Muck boots do not work for me even in early bow season.

I have been a pacboot guy all my life and love the Baffin Expeditions.... They are great but a little heavy... I just got a pair of Muck Arctic Pros that i cant wait to try out.... They are 1/3 the weight of the Baffin's...

i wear Bogs. Same thing as mucks for the most part with 100% satisfaction guarantee. Great customer service. I complained about teh camp rubbing off one pair i had and they sent me out a brand new pair the next day and let me keep the old ones no questions asked. I just recently picked up their blaze 1000's rated to -65. Very light and comfortable as well as waterproof.

If you don't mind spending $250 to $300 or more for a pair of boots.....that's fine BUT No matter how much money you spend, you will never find a better pair of boots to keep your feet WARM & DRY than MICKEY MOUSE BOOTS (by Bada).
After more than fifty (yes, 50 ) years on the ice, I will never wear any other boot for warmth, comfort, and dryness.

PS....MICKEY MOUSE BOOTS CAN BE BOUGHT FOR ABOUT $35 TO $40 DOLLARS !!!! Spend the rest of your money on a nice dinner out for you and the wife (or GF).

I have an old pair of Sorels that were made in Canada and I still use them all the time. You do need to seal them once a year and I've never had them leak. I also have Trans-Alaskas but find them a little hard to walk in. However, they are warm.

My feet are always cold. I have a set of LL bean Maine hunting boots that I've had for over 25 years (whew). When I wear them, my feet are warm and toasty. They are still waterproof despite the fact that I've never treated them.

If they still made them this way, I'd buy another set in a heart beat just to have a back up.

I just picked up some Mickey's and am looking forward to trying them out. I do have a set of 1000g neoprene mucks from dicks that are ok for early bow, but I wouldn't wear them on the ice for an extended time.

I would say artic mucks but you said you tried mucks I had issues with my feet too but once I got the mucks haven't had issues since once in a while throwing a little foot warmers for the real cold days

Try the Sorel Glacier boots they are very warm and rated for 100 below I use them and love them

Grady95 · « **Reply #50 on:** Dec 31, 2012, 07:14 PM »

Definitely look at the Muck Arctic Boots. I have a pair of high ones. Totally waterproof, no laces, good tread, lightweight, easy on & off, these have really made the difference for me out there. They're also great for winter tractor work when you're exposed for long periods to wind and cold.
Love 'em!

I have a pair of boots that are rubber bottom and leather tops. They have a foam pull out liner in them. I believe they came from Cabela's. They were very in-expensive and very warm.

Try the new ThermaCell remote controlled heated insoles.

travis9791 · « **Reply #54 on:** Dec 31, 2012, 10:57 PM »

the best part about mickeys is that they have no liners it is all rubber on the inside i have fallen in and filled the boots with water and dumped the boots out wiped them with a towel put them on my feet and spent the whole rest of the day outside

Sportsman Guide 2400 gram insulated boots, I too had a hard time keeping my feet warm. Keyword - HAD, those boots are awesome

michianafisherman · « **Reply #57 on:** Dec 31, 2012, 11:41 PM »

Baffin-impacts. There is no other to solve cold feet. Rated to -148. Don't buy white or black mickeys If you have cold feet problems already. The mickeys will get you out there, but you won't stay long. So what you can dump water from the boot and keep on fishing. How about the days when it's one of the coldest days of the year? No chance of a wet foot, only super cold toes. The Impacts will make your day more enjoyable.

I've tried muck,rockys,PAC you name it.thanks

Tried all those myself...I now wear cabelas trans alaskans. They have a pocket for chemical warmer built right in them, and I have never had to use the warmers.

Everybody's foot is different, you have to keep trying different boots until you find the ones that work for you.

I found mine.
