When they're new, they're pretty good on snow and ice. They get rotated to summer-only as the soles wear down and lose the micro-tread. I get a couple good years out of a pair, and even then they're not really worn out. (In fact the stretch mark eventually disappeared.) I managed to stab one pretty good with a nail, and didn't quite put a hole in it. Removable insole, which doesn't slide around (and lasts as well as the boot). Made in USA which makes a huge difference (Chinese rubber is not cured correctly, and cracks prematurely). Thin cloth liner which along with Costco Ugly Socks apparently wicks enough to prevent really soggy feet. I can still feel the ground, but don't get bruised feet. Soles are about the right degree of stiffness. The rubber stays reasonably flexible even in cold weather. Not too narrow in the toe box, no lumps, not too loose in the calf (they come to just below the knee). Comfortable they don't make my feet sore or tired. It's to where if I don't have two fresh pairs stashed on the shelf, I think I'm out. (Higher elsewhere.) I wear them 3-5 hours a day, about 8 months of the year depending on the weather.
Muck boot warranty plus#
They're $20, plus or minus, at Tractor Supply. I'd like to know what others are wearing, specifically in cold climates and where ice is an issue. They do come with a lifetime guarantee so that's a bonus.
So that will be just about 2 years of useful life for this pair. That being said, they are still on track to wear out before I get through this next winter.
They don't over heat in the summer but then again I'm not having to wear them all day during warm weather. As long as I'm moving around, I can be out in -20F weather all day and still feel my toes. I like my Bean boots because they aren't as bulky. Waterproof until the rubber splits, then forget it. They split on the creases, and in warmer months they can be very warm to wear all day. The worst ones: Bog and Muck boots do exactly as you say. Bog, Muck, L.L bean, timberland and more, just trying to find a pair that will last me more than a year. I've gone through so many boots in the last 8 years. Maybe I'm asking too much, but do any of you have recommendations for particularly long-lived muck boots? So, they do get a lot of wear, but I would just like to get more wear out of them. On days I don't wear them alll day, I almost invariably wear them for an hour or two in the morning for chores. On the average, I'd guess I spend somewhere around one in three days wearing these boots. Through natural movement, the rubber creases, and eventually these creases turn into splits, then into bonafide holes. A pair will last me about a year before they start wearing holes, and perhaps two years before they're more or less entirely unwearable. For $100 (give or take), they seem to wear out rather quickly. This is trivial, I know, but it is a factor.ġ. They're a nice medium-dark green, and I think they make me look like I know what I'm doing. This is a big plus, especially when walking through tall dew-wet grass, or wading into the pond or creek, or walking through the muddy corral in early spring.ģ. They're a good couple-few inches higher than most others. I'm not sure of the measurement, but they come up nearly to my knees. They are snug through the ankle and relatively snug through the calf, so they don't flop around all over the place.Ģ.
I've worn out one pair of their Grange, one pair of their Burley, and am working on my second pair of Grange. I'm currently on my third pair of LaCrosse. That's "muck" with a lowercase "m"-there is a brand of muck boots known as "Muck" boots, appropriately enough. I'm looking for suggestions on long-wearing muck boots. I will be avoiding Muck boots forever."Buy it for life" is probably a stretch when it comes to muck boots, but we can hopefully at least approach the topic as "Buy it for a long time."
Muck boot warranty free#
How can you be a shoe retailer and not offer free returns? I even wrote to them offering to buy a pair of muck boots that fit me from a named shop if they would remove the cost of return postage from my returning the poor fit boots. My boots cost more to buy and just under £10 to return because the fit was wrong. I made the mistake of assuming going to the source would be best. Indeed the purchase price from these retailers is also less. Instead buy the boots from a wealth of retailers which sell muck boots and offer free return including Amazon. Their return policy makes the buyer responsible for return postage and given the weight of the boots as well as the box etc it comes with, that will be approx £10 by Royal Mail and slightly less by couriers.
If you still need to go ahead and buy online, avoid buying directly from muck boots. The boots vary significantly in weight as well as width and length. If you feel like purchasing a pair of muck boots online.
