Post by: Just reeleyez on November 21, 2016, 08:06:03 PM
In the market for new cold weather boots. Any decent places besides the obvious to purchase a pair? Also what's everyone's favorite brand?

Check out Cabelas Predator Extreme PAC boot. Picked a pair up last year on sale around this time. Spent several days I. The ice in Michigan and they are extremely warm. A little bulky, but light. I only wore them with a thin sock and was fine. Seeme to breath well.

Thanks guys! Love the Mickey mouse boots! Had a pair for a few years until I grew out of them. Been looking at the korkers and Baffin products but it's tough to pull the trigger online without trying a pair on. Still shopping!

I wear my cabelas 1200 gram insulation rubber hunting boots. Everything I need. They are warm, completely waterproof, and have great traction. Paired up with some good socks and I can usually fish daylight to dark and my feet stay warm. And I think I paid like 69 bucks for em probably at least 5 years ago. Also there's no laces to mess with. Just pull em on

I need to get some that do not make me look like a 9 iron and I have more control and over. Last year I kicked a piece of baseboard off in the mud room. My better half was not happy!

I just received my new pair of Korkers Tundra Jack. They have 1200 thinsulate and cant wait to try them this winter. I like the heavy duty studded soles that I can change in and out with the regular soles. If your looking foradditional soles or boots I would give Brian a call at Mad River Outfitters in Central Ohio or check out their website at www.korkers.com (http://www.korkers.com). They will also have some Korkers boots and soles for sale at the Columbus Fishing Expo.
