MICKEYS ALL THE WAY BABY
you mean were is says waterproof?
Agreed, bought 1 size larger than shoe size and wear my normal socks and have yet to have cold feet. Best part is I got them on eBay for around $40 several years back....
My advice to any newby looking to purchase boots is to stay away from Mickeys, the black ones specifically. I've heard way more people, including me, getting cold feet in them when temps get down to 10 and below..
For me that's been the Sorel Glacier Extreme boots...huge thick rubber soles, 13mm felt reflective inner boot, etc. Feet never even feel like you're outdoors. People going to the arctic wear them for a reason.
I've never been able to understand the reviews from people getting cold feet with mickey's. I'm not saying you're wrong or I don't believe you, I just think it's crazy how people have polar opposite opinions of the same boot.I've been wearing mickey's for over half my life (first pair at age 12, I'm 28 now) and the only time I've gotten cold feet was when I wore a pair out. The outside cracked, insulation absorbed water, and froze into an ice block on Lake Winnipeg. Aside from that one trip, mickey's have kept my feet warm for 16 years.Last year in Canada 3 full days of sunrise to sunset fishing with an hour long one way snowmobile commute. The high temperature never got above zero the whole trip and we don't bring portables so you're outside all day. Over half the group was wearing mickey's and not one person complained of cold feet.First person experiences like these are why I can't understand it when people say they aren't good for less than 10 degrees.
Ratings of boots is so relative it's not even funny. A boot rated for -110 may work fine for an in-shape 20 year old, but for a 60 year old fat guy with bad circulation that -110 is more like 30.
My understanding is that rating is for walking, not sitting still... So a -40 boot is only good for that temp if you're walking.. It would be nice if they had a sportsman rating, for ice fishing, duck hunting and such..<°)))>{
LaCross Ice Kings. I have had mine for about 10 yrs. and have never been cold or wet once. Just make sure you get them two sizes bigger that your normal shoe size.
Have the ice kings changed in the last 20 years? Because they were not waterproof when I started buying them.
Is that upper material waterproof?
I'm about to pull the trigger on Baffin Apex's - can anyone give me some sizing info? No place near me has any I can try on. I wear a 13 Nike sneaker, bounce between 12 and 13 in most other brands. 12 in LL Bean duck boots. Should I order a size 14 Apex? Plan on wearing a thin sock and heavy smartwools. Only they only have 12's and 14's in-stock.
Thanks Gam! That's the kinda support my credit card wanted! haha
