While on the ice, there is always a chance of slipping, even if your shoes are equipped with a complex tread with the most embossed pattern. In addition, if you do not feel solid support under your feet, tension quickly arises, and as a result, fatigue and discomfort. The best way is to use spiked boots. The principle here is the same as that of winter tires for a car. Metal spikes are built into the rubber surface, which have good grip on slippery surfaces. In such boots, you can not be afraid of falling, but it is very important to choose them correctly so that the spikes do not fall out, do not wear out and do not cause inconvenience when walking.
And it is not at all necessary that there are several dozen spikes in the sole. Sometimes five elements are enough to seriously increase stability and grip. The location and design of the spike is important.And ideally, to be able to remove them. Studded boots make it difficult to walk on non-slip surfaces. They are noisy, and indoors there is a high chance of damaging the flooring.
In addition, these are winter boots, which means they must be warm and waterproof. All manufacturers have an indication of the minimum temperature at which the boots will be used. Note that this figure is indicated with a margin, that is, it makes no sense to buy shoes at -50 degrees if the temperature in your region does not fall below -30. The material is given special attention. The cheapest options will be rubber. It is better to refuse them at once. Rubber is cold and does not cope well with mechanical damage. In modern models, it is replaced by polyurethane and EVA.
Such boots are composite, which means that their weakest point is the joint between the sole and the bootleg. It is difficult to determine its quality by eye, so in our rating we have selected models created by solid pressing. That is, they do not have a joint as such, thanks to which the boots do not fall apart and serve for many years.

Before us is the best option for winter fishing boots. Only the most advanced materials and production technologies are used here.Despite the glue-stitched connection of the sole with the shaft, they hold on very tightly and spread over time. The fabric base is completely waterproof and has a lacing, which is much more convenient than a classic cuff, under which water often gets under, especially if the ice is waterlogged. We also note removable modules with spikes. They are removed if necessary and do not need to be unscrewed, as with other models. Here you remove all the spikes at once.
