Mucks Arctic Sports. 4th year coming up. My feet rarely get cold when ice fishing but they have gotten wet with other boots and that can ruin a day ...slush has not been an issue with these and they are easier to walk in than typical pack boots for me.

Muck Arctic Ice here. Love them. Don't know what is in those little blue pads but they really do stick to ice. Glare ice I don't need creepers.

After a lot of years, I still am using my Sorrel Caribu's. Cut a slice in them 2 years ago and bought some shoe goo and all is good.

Many times last year I just wore some hiking boots.

Easier to ride my bike that way.

I'll be wearing my Mickey boots again.
I keep thinking about buying another pair of the bunny boots ever since my last pair wore out.
But I have yet to get cold feet in the Mickey's so I guess I'll just keep wearing them.

Hope you got a narrow foot or get damn lucky. Been 2 yrs looking with no luck for my 13/14 extra wide bunny boots. Oh yea one more thing make sure to be a size 9 too. Lol good luck.

I will prolly be back in my muck arctics unless I can find a pair of boots that actually keep my feet warm?

I have Kamik / Nation / size 14 wide.
Very comfortable. I have been out in temps well below 0 and normally stay out on the ice all day and my feet are always warm

I picked up some old red ball boots and although a little bulky very warm

I have been using Cabela’s Men’s Trans-Alaska III Pac Boots for a few years now hands down the warmest boot i have ever worn, my feet have always been slightly chilly ever since I've been ice fishing, 43 years and counting. If you have chilly feet issues these will do the trick I couldn't be happier!

Thinking I will be picking up a pair of baffin impacts or Apex before the season. The muck artic pros just don't quite cut it for my toes when it gets real cold.

Norfin Yukon. Very light and warm. Suits my style of run-and-gun fishing very well.

Sounds like you have had some experience with these? If you don't mind chiming in, some guys are asking about the norfin brand over here:

I ordered my Norfin Yukons from www.anglingproshop.com. Couldn't be happier with the quality of these boots!

Just got my Muck Wetland wide calf boots the other day. I think they will be just fine.

Same boots as last year---Baffin Titans!!The best!

For a crew that`s on the cutting edge for most gear, y'all are missing the boat on boots. But you're in luck because it looks like Walmart is now carrying NAT's. Go check them out, buy them, and don't look back. I'd advise against buying online as they fit small.

Here's a few more choices

I have the Sorel Caribou boots. Certainly warm but rated to 48 below??? My feet get cold after long day on the ice.

Better than baffins? Walmart carrying a boot is a good thing?

markinohio · « **Reply #53 on:** Oct 25, 2019, 11:18 AM »

Same routine as the last 3 years…..Baffin trapper until it gets below -10F, then I break-out the Baffin Titans.

Have heard good things about them.
A buddy just picked up a pair.
He said they run a couple of sizes small though.

Old pair of Kamik Champlain 2. Cheap ($80), light, zipper front for easy peasy on/off, Kold Kutter studs on the bottom to keep the old gentleman vertical. The trick for toasty toes

is silk sock liners and 80% merino wool socks.

I finally cracked my muck arctic pros beyond repair so I’m going to buy a pair of baffins before the season starts. I have never heard anyone say a bad thing about em and they’re relatively inexpensive compared to most boots. I loved my mucks at first but any long trek to my spot resulted in sweaty feet that wouldn’t dry. Hell they wouldn’t dry for multiple days if I didn’t put them on a bolt dryer. Then there was also the rubber cracking, but I did wear them for probably 4 years.

DR.SPECKLER · « **Reply #57 on:** Oct 25, 2019, 04:30 PM »

What baffins do guys wear out icefishing?my feet dont get cold really i just need total waterproof boots as i walk in 1/2 ft or more of water and slush all the time.baffin titans look huge and probably as heavy as my mickeys.i like the muck arctic pros and would have been perfect but im not buying those every year.thats how long mine lasted.brand new boots with shoo goo slathered all over...i need a boot with no laces,no leather uppers,decently warm and waterproof.like mucks but not.lol and not prone to cracking..

SirCranksalot · « **Reply #58 on:** Oct 25, 2019, 04:48 PM »

Titans work well unless you do a lot of walking---they are not super heavy.

TickleStick · « **Reply #59 on:** Nov 03, 2019, 01:36 AM »

I just picked up a pair of Muck arctic ice boots to try out, not sure they will beat my simms though...
