Hey Y'all,
I'm in need of a good uninsulated rubber farm boot to wear around my property and garden. It seems like a lot of folks really like Muck Boots. I'm looking for something that isn't up to my knees like my rubber hunting boots.
What boot do y'all recommend and if its a Muck boot, what model?
Check out dry shod boots. The original owner of much started making them, the quality is better that the original much before he sold out. The quality of today's mucks are garbage in my opinion
We love ours, both parents and all3 kids
I love mine. I have the basic model and have hunted in them. If I'm not planning on walking a ton I'll wear them on wet days.
Dont walk in anything more than 3in high winter wheat and they will last a season or two.

They aren't made well anymore. I still have several pairs and have had to glue soles back on, sides back on, and patch various other parts on the soles. They just plain aren't made like they used to be.
I like them in the fact they're very comfortable and warm if you have the Woody Max. I dislike the fact they don't do well with beaver sticks, barbwire fences, or heavy thorns.
Have not found a rubbed boot that does not chew my heals for lunch

I liked the Muck Boots that I have owned. Seemed to fit fine, but I didn't like the lower top. I tend to have some high water in areas that I hunt and I needed those extra inches! :TooFunny:
I like mine.
I have the muck Arctic Sports been wearing them for a few years now no issues
Woody max for the winter an field blazers for warmer weather just me.

Worse thing I have have found was they screech like a basketball shoe on wet rocks and sticks. My Burlys did not and were more comfortable to me.
As a supporter of several animal rights and anti hunting groups I will not support them, and lacrosse aeroheads or grange are much better boots in my opinion
Currently on year 4 of my second pair of Woody Max boots
They fit my feet and lower leg with pants tucked in like a glove and have good arch support for a rubber boot. For me I have not found a more comfortable boot
Have to agree that the new ones are not as good as the older ones. I believe this is probably due to using less expensive Urethane and more cheap PVC in the compound for the lower.
Both pairs suffered their share of dings and dents but neither have ever leaked. Highly recommend use of a product called Freesole made by McNett for any repairs and to use a chunk of zip loc bag over the wet glue to smooth down/tool the repair. plastic peels right off once the freesole dries.
Too hot for doing much walking if it's over 50 degrees.
Absolutely deadly on wet or glare ice, but can be used with pull on style ice cleats
The one feature I really like are the lug treads that wrap up around the back of the heel. This really helps when descending steep hillsides and to my knowledge no other rubber boots have them.
I'm estimating it costs me about $15 a year to wear my muck boots and I probably put well over 200 miles of grouse, pheasant, turkey, deer hunting and general outdoor use on my first pair.

Had a guy swear by these boots. Said there made out of the same material crocs are made from. I'm going to try a pair. I've had 3 pair of mucks and they keep getting cheaper made and the price always goes up.
Love the ones I have

Sorry to ruin it for you but feel hunters should support a company that supports what they love. I have great luck with Lacrosse
Wasn't Muck Corporate the company that openly supported the HSUS? They had a huge falling out with the dairy industry and many in the waterfowl hunting industry. Maybe they changed over the years.

It's been several years ago they donated to HSUS. There still making camouflage boots so they will still take your money!!!
Thanks for the lead. I liked what I saw and ordered some NOSHOs and a pair of Legend camp boots.
I have pretty specific needs for my turkey hunting boots and Russell covers those. I do wear neoprene boots for deer hunting and will try out the Dry Shods this year. Thank you for the tip!!!

I have found muck boots to not be very slip resistant on snow and ice conditions.
that may not apply to your situation and use
I am actually looking for other options that are more slip resistant.
