.....I would buy a pair of mickey mouses military issue no steel shanks. THose things are heavy tho....
i wear redwing loggers with heated soles
That is what I use and still get cold feet. They are the black ones and have the airborn pressure value in them, don't think they have the steel shank but I have no idea. Just bought a pair of wool socks hoping that will help. They are plain rubber on the inside, no liner to absorb moisture, that I think is my problem. Feet sweat, socks get wet and cold. I usually carry extra socks to change.Hell, in my house with socks and moccasins on my feet get cold. So I am not sure they make a boot that would keep my feet warm on the ice.
I don't wear boots because I can't fish.................. .....NO TIME< >NO MONEY<NO JOB> NO LIFE<SOMEBODY (((SHOOT))) ME !#!#!#
I paid 135 for my Baffen Impacts. Don't need expensive socks to drive the cost up. Don't need foot warmers. Also, I don't have sweaty feet. As far as sticking my foot in the water and then fishing the rest of the day, with my boots I could leave my feet in the water!
Where do you find these boots so I could try them on before I purchase them.
From what I have been reading about the Ice Kings, they are plenty warm. My question is, has anyone had trouble with them leaking when you have slush and water on the ice? My sorels leak like crazy.
A lot of the warm feet issuse is more about how good your circulation to your feet is.
You must fish close to the north pole to need boots rated for those temps. All kidding aside they look dandy, but only the bottom is waterproof according to the website and it says it has a winterproof upper. i will assume that means snow can't get in there. Have you ever stepped through the ice along shore up to the middle of your shin and continued fishing the rest of the day? I have black mickeys and i am not going to say they are the best thing on the market but at least if your foot gets wet you can fish the rest of the day and have warm feet.
I would never change
throw a hand warmer in each,cant go wrong there!
