Looking to get a new pair of boots this fall and was looking for opinions. I want them for snowmobiling but also for other things(shoveling, playing with the kids in the snow, etc.). I have tried on some different pair of Klims in the past but they don't seem very mobile. Don't mind spending some money on a good quality pair that will last. Any insight is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I use Trukke. I've had great luck with them. Not sure if they are still in business though.
I have two pairs of La Crosse hunting boats. 800 Gram and 1600 gram. They both work great for everything, never have cold feet, and the 1600 gram it must be cold to wear riding, or they will be too warm. The are nice and light, too. I paid between $80-$100 at a local hardware store who carries them. He is very competitive. I do need a new pair of the 800 gram after wearing them for 7 years. For the money, they a work very well in all situations and they have never let me down.
If you wear a size 9, you can't beat this deal.

I've gone the same direction as Renegade, but mine are Irish Setter 600 gram never wet never cold and easy to wear for many other uses.
Thanks for the heads up Skylar! I just picked up the last XL rekon jacket for 200 bucks.

M&M was selling them for $110 @ haydays!!!
I have been wearing Rocky's for many years. The last ones I had/have, I just wore the sole right off of them. They were 1000 grams Thinsulate. The new ones I got last year are also Rocky's and they are a high boot with 1000 grams Thinsulate. I buy Rockys because they are light and warm. I have had pac boots that don't compare in warmth. I use them for making firewood in the snow, signing trails, riding, plowing snow, playing with the kids. I think they are a great boot, and you don't have to pay for the Klim name.

I have a few different boots to choose from that fit my needs over the seasons. I like goretex for hunting and pre-freeze season, but find nylon-snow resistant boots work well for me when sledding. I tried klim adrenaline boots but they were to gtx for me and went with a cheaper pair of kamik greenbay boots last season that have worked well so far. They are so light that you hardly know you have them on and warm enough when riding on a sled. I know they are old school and no fashion statement but they work!

if you buy hmk boots make sure that they are 20 sizes bigger than your street shoe. ive run into that a couple times with those they run small.
Does that mean i should get a size 32?
