Muck Brand Chore Boots

[CrealCritter]

I've never owned a official pair of muck brand boots before, that I can remember. But I've heard a lot of good things about them. I have grown tired of rubber boots that crack and leak and are basically not worth purchasing. So being my wife's husband, when I saw these on clearance for $90.00. I decided to grab a pair and try them out.

The boots fit nice and snug, I'm a size US 10. I just fed the animals and it's nothing but mud out there with all the rain we had today. Still though I felt sturdy in deep mud/muck with no leaks. The steel toes give me added confidence about having my foot stepped on by a cow or something. After feeding the animals, I found a puddle to clean them off. When I took them off the boots were clean and my socks were dry, this is the way boots are supposed to work. So far so good (first time use). I would rate these boots very good and comfortable, so a thumbs up 👍. Plus for $90.00 (regular price $154.95), I don't think I got racked over the coals either, so double thumbs up 👍 👍

Rural King has them on sale on-line locally for $99.95 (one of those add to cart to see the price things 🙄). These might be worth considering, if you are looking for good chore boots.

In all truthfulness... they could have been pink and I still would have bought them anyways for $90.00 😂

After a bunch of research I just bought a pair of muck boots for the first time (we usually get whatever is at the charity clothing store).

Turns out Muck has a bunch of different lines/kinds of boots...

I picked their boot with the special sole made for walking on ice.

So far so good. They do have excellent traction.

I have boots, icebugs, with studs/cleats in the sole ... but those are only good if the ice is soft enough for the studs to stab into the ice. On super cold hard ice you just ice skate.

The cheap rubber ones chaffed my legs. These Muck brand boots are lined on the inside with nice padding of some kind. I usually wear ankle socks.

Another thing I noticed and really like is the tread. I can step in muck and mire and if it sticks to the bottom of the boot. I can kick something solid, like farm truck tires and it falls off the tread pretty easily.

Looks like duck poop stuck a little but duck poop is sticky stuff 🤣 Caution... These are not at all good for walking on ice, but not much is without cleats.

I have to say I believe these boots were designed by someone who actually does chores around the farm. They seemed to designed into the boots what you need to do chores and not have to think about what's on your feet while you're working.

Do I like them? Absolutely I do! Best investment I've made in a long time.

Guess I am an old fashioned I just wear my cowboy boots year round , in the rain , snow , mud , and animal poop .

After standing in cow slurry in my cowboy boots.... while learning to AI cattle... and feeling that liquid poo ooze in through the stitching that holds the sole to the leather..

I can still, after all these years, vividly remember it oozing its way in ... getting to the edge of my sock... then the sock wicking the poo to a large area of my foot...

I cleaned those boots up... used a bunch of fancy waterproof seam seeler stuff...

Gotta tell ya... cowboy boots are for DRY.

Muck boots come with different kinds of treads.

I have the ice tread. And the ice tread is excellent.

I have boots with studs, but those need warm ice for the studs to bite into.

The ice treads on the muck boot do great.

Muck boots are nice in many ways. Keep your feet plenty warm in the winter and good and dry. The problem with them is that after about a year of consistently wearing them, they will crack in the back where the softer tops meet the hard rubber part. Unfortunately for me I can no longer wear mine because with the ankle replacement, the left ankle doesn't bend enough and once I get them on, with major difficulty, it is nearly impossible for me to get them off. I have missed the warmth and waterproof aspects of them. Also, they don't work as well for someone that has very big calves in their legs since they are more form fitting. I still really like them.
They are hotter than all get out in the summer time though....

Comfortable, warm, feet are so worth it. Last pair of cheap rubber boots rubbed my skin raw and my feet were always too cold in winter.

I only wear wool socks so I'm comfortable year round wearing neoprene boots. Wool thermoregulates and wicks. Hubby hasn't had smelly, sweaty feet since we switched to wool years ago.

I have wanted a pair of Mucks for quite some time, but could not bring myself to pay such a hefty price. I’m done with the cheap, don’t last a season rubber boots. I alternate between pull on, and easy to kick off, leather work boots and lace up work boots. I got a feeling that when I find my farm, I’m gonna suck it up and buy some Mucks.

I'm on my 3rd year with a pair of Mucks. One of the better purchases I ever made.
