I was wondering what you are riding with in the terms of your boots of choice? *I am looking for the best of breed type boot that is lightweight, durable and most of all warm. *I am a recreational rider so I don't need one for any competitions, etc… *Let the postings begin - Brazoo

We all ride with Baffin altimates. *I now have over 40000kms on mine and they are still holding up strong. *My feet are the one thing that have never been cold. http://www.snowmobileworld.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

I ride with LaCrosse boots, Very warm, I don't think my feet have ever gotten cold, I've had them now for 4 seasons. I've ridden in as cold as -15f.

Baffins are the way to go unless you are a stunt rider.they would be too heavy.They are the most comfortable boots i have ever worn.Keep your feet warm even at -35 one pair of white sport socks toasty toes from these babies!! But they are a little heavy when swimming:D *http://www.snowmobileworld.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif *http://www.snowmobileworld.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

I just looked up Baffin on the web, nice looking boots. *I use Ranger pack boots or "bunny" boots(US military issue). *Thier nice if you get them wet because they have no liners. *You just dump out the water and put on fresh socks! *Then try and forget the stupid thing you just did to get them wet! http://www.snowmobileworld.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

http://www.snowmobileworld.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif I use Sorel's. Very warm but a little on the heavy side http://www.snowmobileworld.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

I just bought Burton Freestyle snowboard boots. First ride yesterday. O degrees F. But my feet stayed warm. Pretty stiff but they did start to loosen up after 80 miles. Lightweight *and they sure lock into the footwells. Time will tell I guess.

Lady K, what kind of baffins do you have?

I went to their website and it is pretty detailed except there was no price. *I will need to look at where I can get them retail since it does not appear to sell direct.

Keep the posts coming - Thanks Brazoo

I bought some Trukk boots this year. *They are AWSOME! *They are warm, they are comfy, they are tall, stylish, and have awesome traction! *I can't say enough good things about these boots! *I recommend them over any other brand. *IMO http://www.snowmobileworld.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

Brazoo I have altimate Baffins and I bought them at the supertrax show for $120 canuckbucks no tax.My uncle bought his at the local doo dealer.These are the best boots I would highly recomend getting some. http://www.snowmobileworld.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

Sorel Glacier edition. Very warm...just a pain to walk in. Good for sledding and icefishing. http://www.snowmobileworld.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

Got a pair of Trukk boots this year. *Great........

Thanks LadyK. *I called a few distributors and what I found was that they had the Impact Baffins but not the Altimate ones. *Sees hard to find south of the border.

I am sure they are close enough.

I've got Sorel Skagways with steel toes and shanks (need them for work). I wear one pair of white sport socks and have never had cold feet yet. Been ice fishing with them in -35C and toasty warm. They are a little heavy but when your sitting on a sled who cares, as long as your feet are warm.

I like getting the hunting boots. *With gortex and thinsulate. *They come in all types of temp ranges. *They are light weight, Very warm, Water proof, *and not wide and bulky. *

They are not as warm as the sorrels i know that but they are warm enough. *

Once the engine warms up my feet start to burn because of the brake and exhaust heat comming out of the foot rests.

I could always ship ya a pair http://www.snowmobileworld.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif *http://www.snowmobileworld.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

I have a set of R.U. Outside Bridger Boot 4's. I have no complaints. They are light, comfortable (have removable liners so they dry fast), warm and have two buckles so they are easy and fast to put on and off.

I wear Koffman military boots. *Excellent boot for extreme temperatures (like up here in the Northwest Territories). *They are double lined with a wool sock, and are rated for *minus 110F. *Light and comfortable.

I been wearing this type of boot for 12 years, and won't choose another.

not sure if this would be ideal for warmer climate.

Trukke, best pair of boots I ever had.I have them now for four years and just bought a new pair of liners.like has been said can't say enough about these boots.

I have sorels, they are a bit bulky but i have never gotten cold with them.

I'll have to vote for my ol' Lacrosse Iceman's. *Little bulky, but my feet like they have slippers on. *And always very warm.

My last choice would be Durago Cowboy boots,personal experience since I forgot the sorrels at home one day. http://www.snowmobileworld.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wow.gif *http://www.snowmobileworld.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wow.gif *http://www.snowmobileworld.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif *http://www.snowmobileworld.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif *http://www.snowmobileworld.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif

SNORAT~ LOL! *That must have been one cold ride! http://www.snowmobileworld.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif * Sorry to hear.

I also recomend TRUKK *Boots

I think the most votes so far are *for trukk boots.


I *have a second pair of liners I bought *that has gortex and thinsilate
in them. * for those over night search and rescue trips

the truk boot is warm *and easy to move around in with good tracktion.

I used to have sorel's but I like the baffins way better.Doo I smell a boot poll coming? http://www.snowmobileworld.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif *http://www.snowmobileworld.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

Go for it LadyK. *I think that is a great idea. *

I'll let you know if I want you to pick me up a pair. *Just gathering ideas at the moment. *So many choices, so little money with tax man knocking at my door. *LOL! *Cheers - Bill

I think I posted this before, but the HP Boots have worked out great for me this year. *Warm and lightweight. *HP Boots (http://www.sled-parts.com/hpboots.htm)

I'll post my vote for TRUKKs. *I've used Ice-mans but they were too warm (if that's possible) and too clumbsy. *Have used TRUKKs for two years now. *Surprisingly warm and lightweight. *No complaints.

I just talked with a Trukke rep to get a catalog and she said that the manufacturer was just bought out and that she has no idea of whom and that the boot is suppose to be completely redesigned for next year? *She was clueless for the most part. *Just an FYI.

HJC . They are even a bit too warm for me.

I was thinking about the Highmark snowmobile boot by HP Boots,they look like a insulated high top tennis shoe.

I use Red Ball or Ranger boots. They have a lether upper that is tied on like a combat boot or work boot. they are always warm and don't fall off. They are fairly light and not too bulky, I first used them as work boots in a warehouse freezer. They are cheap at about $40 US for a size 13.

I love Rocky's!!!!! *One they are the warmest boots I've ever wore, and two they are water proof. *They are kinda spendy, but not that bad. *About $120 a pair.

Have to agree on the Rocky's..have had the same pair 5 years now..no sign of wear,gore-tex liner and plenty warm.Plus, they are lightweight,wear them all day with no problems or tired feet.
