Good Cleats for big boots, where to buy?
So I wear Baffin Ice Bears or Titans most of the time, and even my sorels have no luck with any of the cleats I've bought, staying on. Now I've looked through the 5 million on Amazon, and the only ones that look perfect are $60-$100+. I'd rather not drop that much on a set, and most are the Cramp-on type.
The issue I have is the toe or heal slipping off. I've used string and zip ties but they always come off. I might have it licked with these velcro strips I got, that can be chained together.
Yet I'd love to hear of a pair I can grab that do the trick. Like ones that have straps that go over your foot, and as a bonus one from heal to front.

I bought a pair at Wall Mart they are like a sandle that you step into and velcro fasten both toe and heal, the cleats are very good. Cost around 30 bucks but well worth the money. If you lose some cleats they sell small packs of them at the Fishn Hole.

I picked ups pair of cleats called yaktracks at cabelas in Xl, I had the same issue I wear a pair of Baffin work boots in size 10.5 and this style has a Velcro strap that goes over the top of your foot as well as stretching into the bottom of the boot. I walked all over lac la nonne Saturday with no snow cover and they work beautifully never came off even a little, I highly recommend them.

Hex head down on ice, screw into your thick soles. Works great, have. Been using them for years. Just drill them out and replace when worn down.

These are what they use on the Kearl site up north. They are pretty universal and easy to put on and off. If you aren’t using them you just move them to the top of the boot.
A couple pairs have made it into my ice tackle box.

Hex head sheet metal screws are the best thing I have found. I have a pair of boots just for ice fishing now with them in it. Never have to worry about falling on my head from my feet slipping out while on the ice.

These! You wont be disappointed:
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/KOLD-KUTTER-R...5SXF9-&vxp=mtr
3/8 inch is what you want.
You get 250 enough for at least 4 pr of boots. You could also go in with another guy or two and split the cost.
Probably take 10 - 14 days though.
Edit: I bought through these guys and had no issues "oemcycle"

I just bought a pair from Canadian tire. I wear size 13 in a Baffin boot and they fit just fine. I can't remember the brand but look for the ones that come with a bunjee cord attached to them. They have worked great so far. Only 30 bucks.

Awesome guys, I'm set now. Never thought to look at Walmart. My local "super-center" doesn't carry anything like the city ones do. I'm guessing you got the Stabil-icer ones, which one of the models is exact to the "icer's" from Lee Valley.
I had doubts about the Yaktrack type of cleat, but I'll trust that account. The Rip's look good, yet I think I'd be on my ass without cleats all over the sole.
Not a chance I'd put screws in my Baffins, but its a great idea.
I'm sure I'll grab some that fit perfect, just in time for the snow to pile up, lol.
Thanks again.

I have used the Yaktrax and out on open ground they are good but if you get around stairs or metal walk ways, they can tangle and trip you.

They make a boot stud now, very similar to a tire stud, that can be found at canadian tire in a kit that includes the bit to install them.

Mark's has the Korker ones for a good price and they should fit the boots. I love my micro spikes also.

I were size 18 shoes (presumably an equivalent size to your boots) and use these. http://icefish.com/cleats?product_id=239
They've never come off. I got them from Canadian Tire.

Yeah 2 years ago, I haven't seen them since either. Very difficult time findings how's! Unless online, but then you can't try them on.

Korkers
all the roofers wear korker brand cleats.
$110 but they last forever. (they sell replacement spikes separately and they screw in with a wrench)
get em at most roofing supply stores. (think cabelas might carry them).
strap on, walk ice on a 45 degree angle, never come off.
not as heavy as ice climbers boots not as light as some of the other options listed in this post

Can’t add any information to help you in your search for cleats. However my the left side of my body can confirm cleats are a must this year! Hoped off the sled and fell on my ass before I could even get unpacked.
