What winter boots are best....?

Tee-Cee · Oct 18, 2009

About to look at new boots for the winter-tried Moon Boots and others over the years but none really come up to scratch.......(I'm talking really cold weather fishing!!)

Perhaps I am expecting too much as I suppose no boot is actually going to keep one's feet warm.What I want is fairly warm-I'd be happy with that!!

Anyway if anyones has some suggestions regardless of price(I don't mind paying more if they are really effective!)I would be pleased to hear from you...

Thanks

you ever tried them?

Skeetex field boots are superb ........... I've had mine for years --they're really warm and you can get replacement thermal linings for them should you ever need them ...........

Derri boots really warm even on the coldest of days £29.99 they were £50.00 at one time

Skeetex boots are very good, but to be honest save for the cold snap last winter I have hardly used mine over the last few years.

Another good option is Elements II boots these have a goretex lining and are good if you do a lot of walking during sessions.

I got Sunridge hot foot boots, they're ok but no good for walking in.

Don't just consider which boots will keep your feet warm in winter, also look at what socks you are wearing.

Some socks cost as much as £30.00p but if you couple them with a really good pair of walking boots, they will keep you really warm, waterproof and breathable, and also are easier to walk in.

MUCKBOOTS

Brilliant boots. I have the Derwent. The Tay are a bit more robust and more insulated.

Skeetex, the green suede ones,with the fleece liners,around £50.

Them muckboots do look very good quality, how comfortable are they for walking in ?

Cakey · Oct 19, 2009

Ive used Highlander M892 for a few years now ,they have Vibram soles and Jontex uppers best Ive ever had
I had the Sundridge hot foots I think they were called they were also very good but I could not walk in them and I always had wet socks through sweating !

Very.

I take a size 7. The boot I baught is a size 7 - no need to go one bigger for thicker socks.

The boot is shaped to the calf, foot and angler so it doesn't slop about when walking.

I'm not a welly pervert and that, but I must say they are one of the best things I have baught over the last couple of years.

what a boot

Stealph Viper · Oct 19, 2009

Thanks, they do look excellent.

I take a size 11, and have found some other hotfoot boots a bit cumbersum to walk in which is why i wear my walking boots, but they don't keep my feet very warm when it's really cold.

Muckboots for me as well. Brilliant for walking in too!!

Tay's are the ones to go for.

Stealph Viper · Oct 19, 2009

ooh you could get 3 pairs of em for the price of a pair of hand made Lomers then.

in fact i've just read the spec on those and they're very similar in design to my lomers, nubuk tops, vibram soles, breathable lining, does the breathable lining work well on them?
