Title: Muck Boots
Post by: AirForcePOL on December 17, 2013, 12:21:34 PM
Does anyone else wear Muck Boots?  I have a pair and I love them! They are extremely comfortable and warm.  My wife always makes fun of me because I wear them everywhere we go.  I have been wearing them for filling the stove and when I cut firewood.  Just tuck your jeans in and you can walk through the deep snow without worrying about getting it in your boots  :thumbup:

Check em out if you don't already have a pair!

I have a pair. Wear them all the time around the house doing chores. Easy to slip on and off and clean up easy with a water hose as well.

Fabulous boot!  I have the "chore" Muck boot.  Perfect for keeping in the mud room for a quick jaunt out to the stove.  Mine don't have any insulation, so I can wear them in the summer and with some wool socks I can wear them in the winter as well.  Very comfy.  Well worth the hundred bucks I paid.

Nope, never heard of them.  I'll have to look into them.  For when it's muddy out and I have to do some work or walk through some deeper snow I'll toss on my old rubber fire boots from when I was in the academy.  Steel toe/shank, virtually indestructible, and made to be hosed down.

Been wearing them since the early seventies, not always "muck" brand but something like them. Used to call them Barn Boots. Now I have the camo ones from TSC  that are made by Itasca with Thinsulate. Love them.

Those fire boots are nice too! I think the soft sole is what makes those muck boots so comfy.  They are a lot more durable than they look, too.

I have a pair of the Muck Chore boots and wear them all the time.  I live on a farm and they take a beating and get covered and chicken and cow poop all the time.  I don't dare wear them anywhere else cause I would be tracking stuff all over the place....  I do love them and they are worth the money...  My only complaint is they get a little HOT in the summer but when that time comes I usually switch over to something different....

I have both Muck and Bog brand boots and I think the Bogs are more comfortable.  However they have got a leak from crawling thru barbwire fence feeding the cows too many times.

The Mucks are warmer though.

I too have a pair of Muck chore boots and they are awesome.  Easy to slip on and off and really comfortable.  Best chore boots out there in my opinion.

Well jeez, I guess I'm gonna have to try a pair. Everybody has good things to say about them but I've been a little reluctant to stray from the Lacrosse Burly's I've been wearing since i was a kid(not the same pair). I never got the Muck Boots because I thought rubber that the Lacrosses are made of would hold up better than neoprene on the Muck Boots.

Are Muck Boots tough? I spend alot of time working in thick brushy woods.

I have been wearing the burly's for about 3 decades as well.  but I have friends that wear the muck boots and love them.  Around here, the burly's are about 30-40% less expensive so i have stuck with them myself.

My friends all wear them, I hear the winter insulated ones are crazy warm and almost too hot even at 5F

I swear by them.  I have a pair of steel toe chore mucks for work (concrete) and cutting wood and the woody elites for hunting and messing around.  My fiancé made fun of me until she got a pair for Christmas now she wears them everywhere.  She even wears them to work and puts them under her desk and she's a nurse.  Imagine the looks that country girl gets walking into the hospital!  If your going to be working in a shop though I recommend having a backup pair of work boots to slip into or else your feet will be like hot steamy raisins!  Bite the bullet guys and buy a pair!

Same here, love mine but usually only wear em for winter or sorting cattle, no chickens here, mostly row crop. Are a tad too warm for me in the summer though.

Got a pair of Muck Chore boots this year after my regular insulated boots sprang a leak. Love them. The only time my feet have become remotely cold was when I was just standing in the snow and seeing how well they held up to the cold.
