I know this is off what my OP was but does any have experience with Korkers winter boots? I'm also looking for a good ice fishing boot.
Thanks for the insight I'll definitely give those mucks a good look.I wear those arctic mucks ice fishing to.
They're kind of my do everything cold with the exception of long hikes. I don't want to put any sort of miles on them, they're not good for that. Generally miles in the winter means it needs to be sturdy enough to go into a showshoe or the like as well.
I'm intriguedArmy's Vapor Barrier (Bunny) boot.

business friend of mine in Alaska just picked up the latent patent on these bad boys and is resurrecting them. Not sure about production but the prototypes are bad to the bone!
Good luck, the last ones were made in like 1996 and they have really been tough to find over the past few years. I got mine about 5 years ago, the lady I was buying them from told me they were closing shop and asked if I wanted to buy 2 pairs. I really wish I had said yea because sure enough, she dod close her shop and I can’t find a pair of Size 11s to save my life.I'm intrigued
Black ones are easier to find. White ones are warmer. Since I can’t find any in the size I need, my white ones are specifically reserved for snow serious use since hunny boots really aren’t that durable, I don’t want to put any wear and tear on them just using them for day too day stuff. I’ll get Hoffman pad boots for the daily stuff.If I’m not mistaken, should OP find a pair of bunny boots or black Mickey Mouse - they run large. One size in black maybe a touch more in white.
Sorry to dig up an older thread but I was in Fairbanks last October and there was an Army Surplus store that had a shelf full of those boots. Might be worth checking out!Black ones are easier to find. White ones are warmer.
