Muck Boots

[sep0667]

I went and bought so Muck boots just sort of on a wym(sp) today. I've been needing new boots for a couple years. I've worn the same pair of lace up Irsh Setter boots for I would guess about 8 years now. They are basically fit for a hobo, they have walked countless miles pheasant, bow hunting, exploring, and shed hunting. Heels are worn out and dig into the back of my ankel if I don't wear thick socks, crease over my toes is worn through on the sides and you can see my socks, the bottoms use to nearly be like cleats but or nearly smooth now, and just plan wore out.

I went to look at some boots without the intent of buying any. I tried on the muck winter pro, they seemed to feel really good, and I liked them so I bought a pair without even trying anything else. I've wanted a non-lace up boot for hunting for a while. I got the Arctic Pro style hoping my feet will fare better than the last couple years in my old boots. How are the Arctic Pro for those cold mornings and all day November sits? I have the receipt still if needed, but guess I should have done some research first or tried a few brands, but I liked them and about anything is better than my old pair.

I get cold feet and I've tried several different boots trying to fix the problem. Last year my wife bought my the artic pro's and they are very warm. I was getting cold feet around 40 degrees on multiple hour sits. These were good to 20 for me in the winter and didn't test below that temp.

I tried some on yesterday as well. Not sure the model but they were 400 gram and were on sale for $59. Still thinking. I also tried on a pair of of danner boots that were VERY comfortable but were also $159

You won't be disappointed in your mucks, they're a great pair of boots and definitely seem to last a lot longer than most rubber boots out there. I still am a big fan of my lacrosse's. They tend to not last as long (2 seasons of hard use) but they seem to just fit better on my feet than the mucks do. As long as you buy up a half size bigger and get yourself a GOOD pair of wool socks I can sit all day in freezing temps and my feet don't get too cold.

Can't say I've tried that one, but I have 2 different versions of the Muck...Woody Max for treestand hunting and the Wetland for pheasant, warmer weather, etc. They are a bit expensive, but worth every penny. Love both, and now fight with my 14 year old son over who wears which one They are going on their 5th year and still awesome. The only thing I would say is if you have foot problems (arch issues, etc.) and plan to do a lot of walking you should probably look at a quality lace up boot. Good luck :way:

You will like them alot. I get cold feet easily after ankle injuries, and I bought a pair of Arctic Pro's last year and am much more comfortable in a treestand now. Feet don't get cold anymore and they are a very comfortable boot. I would recommend getting something different for walking however. They are durable, but I did manage to but a beaver chewed sapling completely through mine last winter which made for a rude wake up call.

I bought the woody elites last yr and I believe the artic pros are a step up in insulation. My woodys are good to 25-30 deg but learned the hard way on a late muzzy sit last yr that they are no where near good enough for sub 20's. You'll be fine in Nov. I'd think, but if you get to hunting later let us know how they do the cooler it gets.

Best boots I've ever worn and I had the same problem with cold feet the older I got. I use a thin sock under a pair of wool socks and I'm pretty good now. They are pretty comfortable to walk in also with the way they fit your foot and ankle. You can get the big bulky snow boots they use ice fishing but they are not the best for walking.
