I have some snowmobile boots that are rated down to 100 below. They are pretty heavy but warm. I haven't put screws in the soles because they would tear up the carpet in my shanty. For milder weather I have some 1,000 gram insulated boots that work great.

I own a set of Rocky Blizzards. I love them. Now a friend of mine has a set of Rocky's with the built in, flip out ice cleats. They were pricey but nice.

im thinking of giving these a try, i usually go with rocky or lacrosse all rubber because of slush and water. but i figure i can try these when real cold and not much slush. anyone ever have any experience with these boots. http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/links/link.jsp?id=0059712831055a&type=product&cmCat=SEARCH_all&returnPage=search-results1.jsp&Ntt=irish+setter+ice+claw+xt&Ntk=Products_liberal&sort=all&Go.y=14&_D%3AhasJS=+&N=0&_D%3Asort=+&Nty=1&hasJS=true&Go.x=17&_DARGS=%2Fcabelas%2Fen%2Fcommon%2Fsearch%2Fsearch-box.jsp.form1&_dyncharset=ISO-8859-1

I wish rocky boots would come back out with the retractable spikes I keep looking for some old stock in stores , ebay, ect It would definatly make living in the ice and snow belt alot safer for me

Any advice on boots for guys whos feet sweat like theres no tomorrow.
never used anything but Sorels before but an hour in, no matter how cold it is, feet soaked from sweat. I think I tried ever combanation of socks there could be, so gonna try different boots.

Sounds a lot like my feet, slegar. By accident, one fall/winter: I worked on a dairy farm at the time and wore just plain old uninsulated leather work boots, like Wolverines, around the farm in the fields. When I worked in the barn in the "slop" I always slipped on a pair of over the boot, knee high barn boots. Well this one season, I just kept on doing the same thing and what do you know, I never got cold feet when the barn boots were on. I mean we see 20 - 30 below, F. frequently here and I worked in it all day. So I just wore the same foot apparel out onto the ice that year and guess what - no more cold feet. I assume that the rubber barn boots put up an absolute barrier to the cold air and the looseness of the fit allowed my feet to "breathe". Anyway, that is what I where, to this day, while fishing on hard-water. It has never let me down. Bonus - when you get back to the truck, it's an easy thing to get comfortable for the ride home by slipping off the barn boots. I frequently wear just a pair of low leather shoes under the boots these days.

Good luck to you and may you find a way to keep your feet warm and dry.

Selgar,
I would go talk with a doctor hopefully they can suggest a remedy. I have heard of people applying antiperspirant to their feet ,personally do not recommend this practice. Some medical researchers believe the aluminum salts in antiperspirants may cause Alzheimer's or Parkinson,s diseases . Since you have tried different sock combonations maybe try boots with a lining made to wick moisture away from your feet or boots made of gortex-leather combonation of materials. I hope you find a solution cold damp feet seem to take forever to warm up and make for a miserable day of fishing.

I have honestly bought a pair of boots each of the last three ice seasons, so this year I decided I would spend real money and hopefully not have to buy boots for a few more years....I bought Cabela's Trans Alaskan 3 series boot....I though I spend hundreds of dollards or rods, jigs cameas but I always cheaped out on boots, dumb i know

Spray your feet with an antiperspirant under arm spray and it will help a bunch.

botox will stop it, if you want to go that route. my feet sweat like mad too, but i just keep moving my toes, and don't wear boots that are too tight.

Years ago I had a pair of moon boots. They had a very thick sole and insulated my feet from the cold ice very well. I wish someone would make them again in a model that is water proof and doesn't cost more than a used atv.

Lacross iceman boots, silk socks first then cover with acrylic socks. Feet always warm and stay dry.

Bunny Boots (mickey mouse boots) are my favorite.

My Baffins sorta look like "Moon Boots" :

They are the warmest boots I have ever worn.
