Baffin Boots

[Enslow]

My fingers and toes get cold easily so I just resort to fishing in the shelter after awhile. I hate perch fishing so I don't need to run and gun anyway. Just setup on structure and wait for the eyeballs to feed

Did you hear who the three suspects are???

So no perch fishing or trolling? Just set up on structure and wait for eyeballs? Sounds horrific.

Wags tells fibs. He can be coerced into chasing perch.

You just have to promise him a fun day with a super grumpy "glass is always half empty" co-fisherman. He can't resist.

I have a pair of Baffins in the link below and I like them. As other have said, a bit cumbersome but comfy, warm, and will fit ice cleats. And I drive my truck in them.

Thanks. Appreciate the information.

I have a couple of pair of baffins and last year I discovered Schnees pac boots and so far I prefer them over the Baffin boots because they are comfortable to walk in and a little narrower which makes it easier to drive while wearing them. I have the hunter II model but they have other models to choose from.

I have a pair of Schnees Hunter II on order right now.

One thing about Schnees boots is that they seem to run about 1/2 size smaller than normal but their CS is good and I had no issues sending my pair back for a larger size.

 

[LOV2HNT]

I usually wear a size 10, so I ordered a size 11 cause I figured with a liner and a heavy weight sock I'd need an 11. Well they were too big and I sent them back and ordered a size 10, hope they fit better than the 11's.

So how do the Schnees differ from say a Sorel pack boot? It appears they have a felt insole and some sort of thermal liner.

I would never own anything called "Schnee": Sounds like something Guy would do to his buttocks with spruce branches in a hot spring.

I have never owned a pair of sorel boots. But here is a picture of the inserts
Schnees claims they can rebuild your boots if they wear out hope that doesn't happen for a long time.

Wild I was the opposite. Had to go one size larger.

Just ordered some Baffin ice breakers tonight. Scheels didn't have my size. Hopefully they keep my feet warm otherwise I'm quitting ice fishing.

I have a pair of Baffin Apex I have used a couple times now. They are a very bulky boot, but are stupid warm. I can still drive with them, but it requires some adjustment.

they are comfortable boots but my schnees the rubber cracked after 1.5 years, sent them back and they resoled them for free but they cracked again. I don't know if they are worth resoling again unless they do it for free. rubber these days sucks the boots cracked on top where they flex while walking.

There are a few Baffins for sale on Bisman.

Yeah that seems to be be draw back with any boot that says it can keep my foot warm. I typically don't put my boots on til I get to the lake, so that'll help some. I'm out of options for foot inferno possibilities.

Better support, less bulk, much more comfortable to walk in.

Are you soaking the bottoms in gasoline over night? My Hunter II's are from 2001 and are still in excellent shape and I've worn them a TON.

I imagine it is like choosing between the very hot, skinny chick that is super fun but never makes you comfortable by cooking and cleaning VS. the one that is a bit fluffy, but makes you feel like a king. Always trade offs in life my friend.

Very well put! I laugh every time I hear the "as hot as she is, someone is sick of her shit."
