Hey all--
I just got a gift card from work for hitting productivity goals for December. I have $40 to spend, and I figured I would use it to knock out the majority of the price on a pair of boots for ice fishing.
I've narrowed it down to 2 pairs, and I wanted opinions to help me decide between them. I went ice fishing for the first time on Saturday, and couldn't find my wool socks. So I was in 2 pairs of synthetic socks and my regular shoes. They aren't waterproof, but I got lucky and there was no slush, so my feet didn't get wet. As a result, honestly I was pretty comfortable. After 3 hours, yeah my feet were cold, but it wasn't bothering me much. So I figure a nicer pair of boots and some wool socks outside the acrylic ones and I'll be warm and dry for many hours at a time.
Here are the options:

The leather ones look nice because I could theoretically use them for hiking during the warmer months. The rubber ones look like they might be a bit more waterproof though.
Thoughts?
