Muck Boots?

Has anyone on here used Muck Boots? What do you think of them?

I was talking with some folks last week that do a lot of winter feeding and riding pastures and lots-- and they swore by these Muck boots...Said they were lightweight- would fit in a stirrup and really kept your feet warm...Said they were a lot lighter than boots with 5-6 buckle overshoes over them-- and a whole lot warmer....

Couple of the guys said they had 2 pair-- the shorter ones and the tall ones (knee high) for when the snow really got deep....
 
I haven't gave in to the temptation of buying a pair yet but the fellas here that wear them like them. A friend of mine says that's the only thing the feed store here hasn't lied to him about. :lol:
 
OT, we are a Muck Boot family.

Mr. FH has ALWAYS had a problem keeping his feet warm.
He says that is one reason why he could never be a real cowboy.
He started wearing the Muck boots and finally, he can keep his
feet reasonably warm. We got our son-in-law a pair last
Christmas and when we were there this year, he was wearing
them when he went outside and our daughter and grandson each
has a pair. They swear by them!

I wear Whites insulated packers, when it gets real cold out. They have a felt liner you can take out and dry, steel shank so they don't hurt your feet when you are riding. Probaly not the lightest things to put on your feet, but they sure work. I'm kind of like Spike Van Cleave, I associate weight with warmth. :lol:
 
I got a pair last year. I wear a pair of cotton socks with them and my feet haven't been cold in them yet. I do ride in them if it is real cold, but I would not consider them safe for stirrups. My feet sweat quite a bit so I had to invest in a boot dryer for them. I put them on the dryer over night and in the morning when I slip them on, I've got warm dry boots to start the day out in! One of my small pleasures in life.
 
sweaty feeties :) But love them all the same :) They are not safe for riding in but I think we all do it from time to time..... Bad ranchers Bad :)
 
I bought a pair of pack boots out of Schnees in Montana when I lived out there. Am going to have to replace them as the cow crap has started to destroy them over they years and they are a pain in the butt to take off and putt on in the middle of the night during calving season... Wait, strike that, keep forgetting that in April I probaby won't ened to wory about heavy insulated pack boots....


I hae seen the muck boots and have almost bought them a few times.. One of these days I probably will because they do look like they would make a decent boot for wlaking around the lots around here in the winter.
 
I went to the store today and they were almost sold out...Clerk who is a friend, said they were really a hot item for Christmas- so they had none that fit me...But she expected an order in tomorrow or the next day, so she will grab me out a pair and set aside......Local stores price is only $3 more than the internet price.....

Told my wife what I was doing and she stopped at the store this evening- liked them-- and found a pair that fit her and bought them for herself.....
 
They're pretty nice boots, but I don't think you'll like 'em, OT. For the same reason I didn't. Made in China. The label was hard to find - I didn't see it until I had mine at home, so I took them back. :x

LOL. But something just kinda chaps my butt about spending $75 for Chinese rubber boots. Guess that makes me a protectionist? :lol:

Yep- Too bad Wilson boots don't make them......
 
Got two pairs of 'Bog Boots' brand muck-boots going at one time, what with this nasty snow/mud/corral mix we've got this time of year...I won't dare try ridin' in a pair with the 'lug' pattern on the soles...the 'web' pattern is shaped just right to fit in my ox-bows, and helps me with better footing when there's a need to climb/jump/scramble for whatever reason.

I can't live without my 'Bog/Muck' boots...but I COULD live without the nasty odors the neo-prene tends to absorb and never let go of...

Thus they have been 'banished' to the mud-room for the night, every night, during the long winters we can have out here...
 
I've got a pair of the bog brand boots also. Very warm for their weight. Loaded two trucks today in the pouring rain/driving sleet and was soaked and chilled from top to. . . . my knees. Everything else was warm and dry!
