I am in the market for a new pair of ice fishing boots. I will also be using them on my late season deer hunts sitting in the tree stand. I looked back and found a thread about the Alpha Kings and they looked good, but I am curious what everyone is finding that works for them? I rarely fish in a shack and fish through whatever the SD winter throws at me. Thanks for your advise!
I bought a pair of Baffin Apex boots a few years ago. By FAR the warmest boot that I’ve ever had. They are a bit bulky and heavy but for outside ice fishing and long sits on a cold deer stand they can not be beat. Do yourself a Favor and check them out prior to buying anything else. You will be happy you did.
By the way. The Baffin boots run a bite small. If you buy them get them a 1/2 to full size larger. I was fine with a 1/2 size more. Light sock liner and lightweight smart wool sock is all I wear inside mine. No need for a heavy thick wool pair.
I bought a pair of muck arctic sport last year and couldn’t be happier! They are light weight, easy on and off and they are very warm. I also fish outside a lot and never got cold or wet feet!
Baffin titans, can’t be beat, rubber outside for drilling holes, easy on off, relatively light weight, super warm.
Baffin all the way.
Baffin. I’m going on 10 years in mine. Still not looking for a new pair.
im a small guy, so staying warm for me isn’t always easy especially when it comes to my feet, I bought a pair of lacrosse alpha ice kings and they are the real deal. I’ve used them for the past 2 winters with zero complaints, and have already put them through their paces. The Baffin boots seemed legit for warm feet, and I got close to buying them, but they aren’t as waterproof as the alpha ice kings. Hope you like whatever u purchase.
I kneel a lot when ice fishing and the tops of my toe caps on the boots wear how do the boots deal with this?

Baffin titans are 100% waterproof.

My feet have always stayed dry in my Baffins. Not sure how much waterproof you can get.
How about these?
Steiger Mukluck, Camuextreme in the stand or on the ice, warmest boot I have owned. Not much for trekking because they lack support and tread. I like Lowa’s for walking but standing still on ice,
you cannot beat the Camuextreme.
Bafin Titans are less than 100 bucks on walley worlds website
Muck artic sports
I just saw Sams Club had the Muck Artics for about 139.00. I think Gander had them for closer to 200.00. I’ve had other Muck boots and they have been awesome (lite weight, comforable, warm, and water proof).

Hard to get more waterproof than mucks!
I bought Cabela’s Instinct Accelerator 9mm rubber boots last year and never have had a complaint about my feet again. Super light, nice ergonomic design with great support, and claim to be warmer than other boots rated to 1200gram insulate. I pair mine with Ice Armour poly liner socks and thick Smart wool hunting socks over that. I rarely fish inside a shack.
Muck Arctic Pro 
Great for ice fishing and hunting
How do they stand up on the top part or the tips of the rubber. I jump up and off my ATV a lot and I am concerned about the rubber getting tore up.

Did the alpha kings fix their issue with the lace holes ripping out? That was the only negative I found on them.
How about these?

Put some Spikes on them and they’re perfect!
I found the Baffin Titans online for $85…couldn’t pass them up. I put them on and my feet were beyond toasty within 30 seconds. Pretty excited to try them on ice! Little sad it looks like there won’t be decent ice till early December at the earliest 
Thanks for all the input fellas!
I’ve had http://www.cabelas.com/product/muck-pursuit-supreme-rubber-boots/1601247.uts?searchPath=%2Fcatalog%2Fsearch.cmd%3FrecordsPerPage%3D18%26No%3D0%26N%3D0%26nl%3Dtrue%26Ntk%3DAllProducts%26Ntt%3DMuck%252Bboot%26search%3DSearch&No=0&Ntk=AllProducts&Ntt=Muck+boot
since the day they came out. Great boot, just too tight for me to wear often.
I wear Columbia Bugaboo’s… Mostly because I can buy them in a 16w

You will love them!
Lacrosse Ice kings, extremely warm and comfortable. Waterproof, only down side is bit bulky like most heavey boots. I use lacrosse alpha mud lights for hunting through rifle season. 7mm neoprene is a lot warmer than the old 2000 grams I had prior. Buy it once buy it right I’ll never buy another brand!
Haha, sorry fellas, I could have swore the ones I was looking at the time said waterproof only up to the rubber bottom. Guess I was wrong, and I haven’t had any issues with the eye rings where the laces are.
I have the muck wetland and artic pros. I think they are a more versatile boot than the Baffin’s. Like was said, the mucks are warm,light weight, waterproof and EASY on and off. You also don’t have to bend over and tie them.
I just tried on some Muck’s at Gander. There really doesn’t seem to be a lot of insulation there. Do you Muck owners need to wear heavy duty socks?
Tried on some Baffin Impact also, what up with straps/buckles? seems to be un-needed to me.
I would have bought them if they didn’t have those.
Muck boots are neoprene. It has a different insulation value than thinsulate or felt. I am glad there are numerous brands and styles of boots, this way everybody has a choice and what works for me, might not work for someone else.
