I wear Red Wing loggers. Treated them with mink oil. Waterproof, warm as toast (too warm above 32 degrees) and lots of support working in the woods cutting. Pricy though $185

No boat, back in the suds.

If you want warm... dry comfortsble feet for ice fishing, you cannot beat Muck boots( unless you find an old pair of Arm surplus "mickey mouse" boots)... I have a pair of Muck Artic pro.... I've used them under every condition from -10 to fall fishing in the boat.... they are warm with minimal socks..poly pro liners and LIGHT wool blend socks will keep you comfortable in any weather becasue they extend above the calf.. slush and snow conditions like i fished in all weekend is no issue.. my old Sorrels would have rolled over and died 10 minutes into the day.... i also recomend a Peet boot dryer... pop them on the dryer at the end of the day and plug it in... the next moring you'll have warm DRY boots to start the day... the remain oder free because the bacteria has no moisture to grow on..

A good run is better than a bad stand!

Yup... I believe the word we used to discribe them was "clodhoppers"... they were almost like wearing snow shoes.. the Mucks are much more stream lined and 1/3 the weight... if you want more muck boot testimionials go on iceshanty and do a search...
