I have a great pair of lace-up ice fishing boats. They are rugged, warm, and comfortable. During an ice fishing tournament with 12+ inches of slush, water started leak into my boots after an hour. I now use Muck Arctic Pro boots!
Muck boots are made from a flex-foam material in a continuous and non-interrupted design. There are no openings for water to penetrate. They are hence 100% waterproof from top to bottom. The soles have groves that provide traction and stability in snow or slush. They are easy to put on and take off (no laces). They are also light, comfortable, and easy to clean. Their thermal rating is impressive: -40 degrees Fahrenheit. Bottom line, for ice fishing there is no substitute for Muck Arctic Pro boots.
