Trans Alaska 3 pac boots?
« on: Dec 25, 2018, 07:21 PM »
Looking into getting a pair of these boots ! I need to order on line as there isn’t a cabelas near me, so my question is sizing? I wear a shoe size 8 and was wondering if a 10 would be to big? I’m having a hard time finding a 9 online!

pac boots run small by at least 1 size. it maybe why you can't find them in small sizes.
i wear 11.5 and had to buy 13. they are huge looking like herman munster boots.

check the store for free exchanges.

I've got the TA IIs. My regular shoe size is 10.5 and I got 'em in 12. Leaves plenty of room for a pair of wool socks and some toe wiggle room. They are the first Cabelas boot that are wide enough to accommodate my feet at that size without scrunching my foot across the widest part. Also the warmest boots I've ever worn. And yes, they are a bit Herman Munsterish looking but once you get used to moving in them they are just fine.
To fish or not to fish? That's a stupid question!

They stopped  making them for the Canadian market! They offer the Saskatchewan pac boot which is the same boot but camo and gortex. I just got mine in the mail ( sask boots) , boy are the huge. Test them out this weekend! I where a shoe size 8 and ordered the 10 , they fit great.

X2 go 2 sizes bigger, I've had mine for about 3 years now and I love them. Only problem is getting ice spikes big enough to fit on them. I went with the largest katoola micro spikes and they fit tight but work great for the slick ice

Throw some metal hex screws right into the bottom of the soul.  I think they are 1/4" and are very cheap.  I haven't had to replace any yet after 2 years.

I just bought a pair of TA Pac boots. I wear a shoe size 9.5 and I ordered a 10. I could fit my foot inside but they felt like I was compressing my foot too much. I gave them to my teenage son and he likes the way they feel. I ended up buying myself a pair in size 11. Much better fit. But wondering if I need to wear my heavy wool socks with them now.

I typically wear an 11.5 or 12 shoe or boot. I have size 13 trans alaskans and they fit well with my wool socks. They're the warmest boots I've ever had; I love em!

 You won’t have any problem with 3/8” hex heads or Kold kutters racing spikes
