I have been using Lacrosse Alpha Burly Pro boots for a couple seasons now without complaints. The things I really like about these are 100% waterproof and that they have an actual sole similar to a traditional hunting boot. The downside to these boots is they don't hold up well if you drag your auger bit across them on accident. Easy repair with shoe goo but it is something to consider.In general on "rubber" type boots, if your feet sweat - you get cold. The best solution I have found is two parts: wear good moisture wicking socks, these boots are warm and thin socks are really all you need. Suggest merino wool lightweight socks. Also, get some spray deodorant and give your feet a spray down before putting on your socks.
For ice fishing I use a different strategy in boots. Several seasons ago I got some Neos Stablicer overboots & continue to use them today. I just wear comfortable shoes & good socks that feel great when driving then slip the overboots on at the lake- no need for adding chains/spikes for traction as their built in, waterproof & insulated. Then just kick ‘em off when leaving and back to lightweight driving shoes for the drive home. I wear size 15’s and the 3XL work great for me, warm & plenty of grip + the cost was right.https://www.overshoesneos.com
needs to be antiperspirant to work deodorant just make them smell better
For a same price, would you buy the Cabela's Trans Alaska Boot or the Baffin Shackleton Boot?
I have Baffin Titans -- they're bulky, but my feet are never cold. Not the best for any hiking, but for standing on the ice or even 6" of slush all day, they're amazing.
Thanks for the responses guys. Right now I'm thinking I just need to go to a store and try some on. Right now I'm leaning towards pac boots for breathability reasons. Though the weight of the rubber boots is sure tempting.
Great post. Helped me decide to set the hook on a pair of Baffin Impacts from Cabelas on sale $175 & free shipping Thanks Guys
I tend to be frugal with money and I bought these. They worked very well made in the USA. No complaints at allhttps://chinookfootwear.com/product-detail/badaxe-st.html
This is basic physics....The ice your feet are in contact with is sucking the warmth from your feet right into the ice via conduction. You need as thick soles of the boots as possible, to put as much material blocking the flow of heat from your feet to the ice as still allows you to walk in them. And meanwhile wind is whipping away the warmth from everything above your feet bottoms via convection. You need thick, well-insulated material around the ankle/calves also. And in terms of ice fishing, need something on your feet that is reasonably water proof, durable, comfortable, and has good traction. 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. (Image removed from quote.)
