Never could find boots that keep my feet warm. Always seems to be sweat and then the sweat turns cold. Looking at getting a pair of Artic MM boots. Size wise, do you order a larger size to accommodate socks, do they come true to the foot size, etc? In other words, if I wear a size 9D in a shoe, what do I want to get? Any suggestions as to the best place to order them?
All you need with Mickey's are a regular pair of cotton socks. I used them for 30 years and never had cold feet on a stand. Only minus is their weight.
Baffin Impact boots 1 size bigger than you normally wear. They are are super light and so warm you want to put your feet in your holes every once in a while to cool them down! Little pricey though.
Mickey Mouse boots are great. I wear a 13 but in the MM boots I'm a 12. I think they run big. My wife has a pair too and she went a size smaller also. The trick with them is to start off with them being room temperature/warm. If you leave them in your truck outside overnight and go to put them on the next morning then I think they don't stay as warm since they are already cold.
I was going to get a pair but backed out when vances had some columbia brand boots on sale for 25% off. My left knee and hip give me troubles due to ra,so i cant do heavy boots at all. They kill me,esp walking through snow hauling a load.
I have not had them on ice yet,but ive had them on snowy rocks and standing on wooden docks when its 15°out (lol yes standing on a dock with air under it makes my feet colder,im pretty sure.lol). An they have kept me warm with just one pair of thick socks.....
Hey Saugeye; Just take a piece of carpeting and put it under your feet. Use carpet wit a
looped/lofty surface and it will keep the cold ice from penetrating the soles of your boots.
I stopped using MM boots after sitting with boots on the ground, deer hunting one year in January. My right toes have been sensitive to cold ever since. Stay away from rubber boots! Wear breathable ones.
Gave away my MM boots two years ago. Now use either Muck Arctic Pros or Baffin Impact for really cold days. They are the ultimate cold boot. Light and rated to -64.
