Mike the Pike Posted December 8, 2007 Report Share Posted December 8, 2007 Ya ice guy those boots a good for sure I have that pair and I have the -58C boots for the really cold days. A great bang for the buck . I buy them a size or 2 bigger so I can put thick socks on. I highly recommend these boots. MTP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Photoz Posted December 8, 2007 Report Share Posted December 8, 2007 The ONLY thing that sets off little alarm bells in the ad . . . . "FROM $34.95?" What did you actually pay for yours? The "FROM" part of the ad ALWAYS makes me suspicious of what the price of MY size might be? I do have a pair . . . FANTASTIC for being out on the ice, standin' around, feet NEVER get cold . . . . I paid $60.00 for a size 12 3 years ago . . . on sale!! They fit the Lee Valley 'Icers' pretty good too! The ONLY 'down' side . . . . . not highly recommended for LONG walks anywhere . . . . gotta weigh 5 pounds each with the 'icers!!' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crappieperchhunter Posted December 8, 2007 Report Share Posted December 8, 2007 These are good boots for the buck if you can wear them. I find they are too narrow around the top...uncomfortably tight on my calves. The pair I bought just sits in the basement collecting dust. Just a heads up for anyone looking at grabbing a pair.

Guest gbfisher Posted December 8, 2007 Report Share Posted December 8, 2007 The old green rubbers. They are a great buy. As Brian mentioned they do crack and split but only if you hunt with them and walk a lot. If only used for the ice you can get a few seasons out of them. You might have to change the insoles though. Im sure you have had the day Brian, when you go to put your boots on at hunt camp and you dont know who's boots are who's... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
addict Posted December 9, 2007 Report Share Posted December 9, 2007 the original SORELS when they were made by kaufman canada before they sold the company are hands down the best and warmest boots ive ever owned.i have very poor circulation and my feet were always cold in other boots these are rated for 100 below and i believe it.they are hard to find now but if u can get your hands on them u wont be dissapointed.i will be very sad when my wear out,so far so good ive had them for about 8 yrs and there still in excellent shape.

FISHINGNUT Posted December 9, 2007 Report Share Posted December 9, 2007 My dad and I have a pair of these boots and love them but I have to agree they are a litttle tight in the calf area.Fished with about 4" of slush on the ice last year we were the only ones with dry feet in the group.Im not sure how long they last I have only had mine for one season but for $35. how can you go wrong.

spooner_jr Posted December 9, 2007 Report Share Posted December 9, 2007 I've had these boots for 15 years, my feet have never been cold in them. LaCrosse Ice Kings. They are worth every penny, and are still pretty cheap. http://www.lacrossefootwear.com/product/co...-+++10%27%27.do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Headhunter Posted December 10, 2007 Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 The boots that "Fisherman" linked up are the best I've ever seen. As I do most of my fishin late in the year in an open boat, I've found that boots rated at -60 or colder are the only things that will keep my feet warm out there. It's funny, but sitting in an open boat makes your feet feel that much colder as when your out on the ice, you are able to move around and get circulation going. Find boots that have a separate layer, usually honeycombed, that sits between the insole on your feet and the bottom of the boot. This will keep any moisture build up away from your feet. Regardless of what boot you buy, remember to remove the insoles after every outing and allow them to dry. As we all know, moisture means cold out there.
