Insulated Rubber boots? Which one to buy

i have the lacrosse alpha mudlites with neoprene and my feet stay super warm thru the later part of archery and winter i would defiantly recommend them to anyone

i made a trip to CDS in grove city when they had their annual boot sale and tried on about 8 different brands/styles until i found the kind i really liked. I did find some enjoyment out of having a little kid look at me funny as i walked around the store with 2 different boots on trying to decide which to purchase.
Take into consideration the weight of the boots too when making up your mind. Nothing worse than overly heavy boots when you spend a day afield.

Mickey Mouse or PAC boots for ice fishing

Lacrosse AlphaBurly.

Agree-- warm and comfortable to wear. I suffer foot problems but can wear these without special orthonics.

Muck - Woody Elite model. Warm, waterproof, comfortable, won't dry rot over time like all rubber boots.

Yes, AlphaBurly Sport w/ the 1000 gram.  Comfortable, not too heavy.  I'm just over 2 years on my pair and still doing well.  No cracks or delaminated soles.  My feet are 10 1/2-11 in shoes.  With rubber boots I can usually get by with 10's and have room for 2x thick socks.  I use from Oct archery through winter ice fishing.  They're a bit warm for 50 degree walking and a bit cool for sitting still on the ice for hours.  But I think overall, I'll buy another pair when these wear-out.

A friend of mine has Muck,s and He dont shiver out there , I use Sorel but they have a rubber lower and upper nylon configuration. I dont get cold but cant go over ankle depth of water?    

Take that back, my Lacrosses are actually size 11.  So think maybe they run a little small.

I've never tried Muck's, but from what I've heard they have a good reputation.

ive had a pair of alphas for about 7 years now and they still hold up great. Any lacrosse boot you should be more than happy with they are all great

I got the Muck arctic pros for christmas (early)
Mainly to use for ice fishing - which they seem like they'll be great for.
But, I don't think they'd be much of a hunting boot unless you have a short walk to a long sit.
They're bulky & hot. Not warm....hot. Very comfortable though.
Looking forward to a day on the ice to put them to the test.

Just fyi - anyone looking at the arctic pros, try them on first.
I usually wear a size 12; ended up going with a size 14 in the arctic pros - seem to run on the small side.

on the lacross...some of them (dont know which name) have and "ankle patch" wich makes them easy to get on and off...seems to me that it would rub a blister blelow where the "patch" is...

any comment on this?

had a pair of insulated cabelas brand and the hardest part was trying to get them off of my feet...I would get a charley horse in my calf trying to jimmy them off...

I use uninsulated Alpha Burleys for upland hunting and dog training, so they get a lot of wear.  I have yet to have a pair last a year without an issue.  But then again, no other boots have lasted either.

You walk too much. Be lazy, your boots will last longer.

 
I do have to put athletic shoe insoles in them.

Whatever you do – quality over price. Don;t get the cheapest.

i have a pair of uninsulated alphaburlys and a pair of insulated ones which i believe r 1500 grams and i really like them both they are comfortable and keep my feet real warm only thing that i had a problem with is a jammed a stick thru the one pair when they were new but i patched them up easy enough but that was a mishap in the dark and me not paying attention to wear i was stepping never had muck boots sorry
