Good old Mickey Mouse boots. You're feet just don't get cold in them. They are heavier but very warm.

Same here. I've tried many different boots and these have been the best for me.

I use pro wings

L.L. Beans duck boot. Insulated, waterproof, and handmade American quality.

Baffin titan boots are amazing. I thought I was getting a good boot based off of the reviews but I had no idea they would be this good!
-
Cabelas trans Alaskins and preds have been great for me fishing and hunting,warm and dry and no sweaty feet. Buy one sizer

Heard a lot of good things about Baffin Boots too
-
i have a pair of woody max muck boots and a pair of baffin. both are really good, the baffins are a bit warmer but bulkier so i wear the muck boots if its above zero. i was shocked how comfortable and light the baffins are cant go wrong with them.
-
Kamik Goliath boots, full rubber boots like Baffin Titan. Tried both before buying and the Kamik were more comfortable when walking for me. Have kept me warm with proper wool socks.
-
Love my Baffin Titans warmest boot I've worn 100 percent waterproof, fairly well priced to. I just ordered the wife some Baffin impacts as I've heard good things about them to.

Trans Alaskans

And if you really want some warmth, stick a toe heat packet inside....
Speaking of Trans Alaskans boots, have you ever tried the Trans Alaskan snow suit or Anorak?

If you watch those "reality" shows about Alaska on TV, you will see that most of those folks are wearing the White color Mickey Mouse Boots !!! My pair (cost $35) are 20 years old and have NEVER left me with cold feet.
-
I have a pair of skellerup quartos that I got cheap from sierra trading post. They are great. You guys have me wanting to try those Baffin's now though.
-
Red Wing Irish Setters. I got them on sale w/ a store credit I'd forgotten about then discovered.
They're a size big so I can wear a thin polypro liner under a medium wool sock. Out on the ice w/ a piece of carpet if I'm sittin', and I'm warm & dry all day...
-
cabela's 2000 gram pac boot. They are really stiff at first but just put them on and hike in the woods for about 2 miles and there good to go. those and 1 pair of cotton socks all you need.

You too! :laugh: Think I paid $20 for mine, brand new at a flea market, by now probably 20+ years old also.
Can also sit in slush and water all day also without getting cold feet.
-
Baffin Rangers poly liners, wool socks and I bought an extra pair of liners. they are 16 Y.O. and still keeping my feet warm.
-
Tonight I just bought Cabella's Inferno 2000 Pac boot for $110 shipped to my door.

Muck edgewaters for me.......But use them for everything thought. Hunting.....deer, rabbit, duck, pheasant....showshoe hare......if I'm inna woods, duck blind, or fields those are on my feet......and also for ice fishing! They even hold up well to strapping snow shoes on. A pair lasts me 2-3 years but I put some miles on them and never had cold or wet feet. I leave them by the door as they are perfect for stepping in and out of to get mail in the winter or take the dogs for a quick walk. they are so easy to get on and off when I'm small game hunting and moving from place to place I drive with a pair of slip on crocks and leave the boots in the back driver side seat.....a quick step out and step in and I'm heading to the woods. If you want to go to one pair of boots for everything outdoors check them out.

Titans are the best ice fishing boot available, have a pair of arctic sport mucks that are worn out, they were good for warmer days but a boot dryer is a must, just ordered a pair of muck arctic pro's, hope they are good, the mucks will also be used for late season whitetail hunting

The arctic pro is one step up from the edgewaters I use. Like I said pretty much if Im hunting or fishing they are on my feet and are awesome.

I haven't had others but I'm completely satisfied with my Titans! And as I said elsewhere, they're made in Canada and we know a thing or 2 about the cold, eh?? :)

I like my Sorel Glacier Extremes...They are kind of ridiculous at first...must have the thickest sole and insulation of any boot. But it's amazing how well it keeps your feet the same temp all over, all day. Not bad to walk in either for a few miles.

If you ice fish you need baffin titans, I also have a pair of muck arctic sports that are worn out, and just got a pair of muck arctic pro's that I've worn once, so far I really like them, only reason I have the mucks is for late season whitetail hunting, but I do use them on warmer days ice fishing when I'm hole hopping

I had some Sorrels but they weren't any good at all for ice fishing. We often have conditions where the slush is more than ankle deep. Those type of boots (aka 'skidoo boots') are not waterproof above the ankle.

Love the muck arctic pros, but you do need some lighter boots as well for warm conditions. too warm if its over 45 out

Totally agree.....The Muck Arctic Pros are the best boot I've ever owned.....They are almost to hot to wear in the spring & fall when the temps are warmer.....A boot dryer is a must have !!
-
I've worn the arctic pros about 10 times now, love them, they same as the sports just a tad heavier with some extra meat in the toe, my sports got torn up in the toe from kicking sh1t
-
I have Baffin Men's Control Max Insulated Boot and definitely it is one of the best boot on the market (http://www.bootratings.com/best-ice-fishing-boots-reviews/). Awesome boots, super warm and comfortable even after standing on the ice for 13 hours! Would recommend to anyone who needs boots
