Think I remember some of ya'll had worn them and liked them.
Are they worth the $$. I am tired of cold feet and not finding a pair of boots that will last and keep my feet warm while fishing and hunting.
For those that have worn them, what did you like and NOT like?
Are thick wool socks still necessary with them and did you buy a size larger than you normally wear to make them not too tight?
Was there a particular model that was better than the others?
They are great boots!!! Like any boot, you still need good socks to wick sweat and insulate you feet. They only come in whole sizes and fit pretty true to size. The only negative I've found is the soles are as slick as greased snot on ice.
I am looking forward to the answers here, got the fishing cover with a pair of Browning boots with a thick lining in em but need something to keep my feet warm when doing a lot of walking.
This morning was a prime example, 800 gram thinsalate lacrosse boots and my feet stayed cold all morning.
Need like 2 or 300 gram if you're gonna be walking a lot and make sure they don't have a steel shank. Steel shank=miserably cold feet! Buddy bought a pair of 1600 gram waders last year that had a steel shank and that next day was the coldest of his life, traded em in for some 800 I think with a fiberglass shank and he's good to go!Quote:

And to make sure the rest of my body stays warm I wear a fleece hoodie that comes way down past my neck. If my hands and neck are warm. I am warm
I have 2 pair of muck boots one are short non insulated others are tall insulated they feel good on my feet for long periods but they are slick on hard surfaces when wet and fish slime on them. last November at lower lake I had a fall with the short ones on part my fault.
I have the Muck Chore boot, one pair of wick socks in 5 to 10 degree weather walking they were great. They were on sale at BPS for $60, I wear a 9 1/2 so I got a 10. Debbie wants a pair but her's will cost about $130 and hard to find her size.
Last year I found a site that had them on clearance, her's would have been $70, but couldn't find anyone close that carried her size in any boot to try on.
I've been wearing Mucks for about 5 years. I only wear one pair of socks, wool if it's below freezing. Mucks are breathable so you don't get sweaty feet from walking like with the Lacrosse boots. Mine have good grips on the soles and I've never had a problem slipping on wet surfaces, ice is a different matter though. My Woody Max's are rated from 60 to -20 F. Have fished in them on days when temps were in the single digits and my feet were comfortable. I wear an xtra wide 12 in most shoes but got the 13 in the mucks, good fit for me.
Rednecks, "White Socks", and Blue Ribbon Beer! Was that song written for you? lolQuote:

Thanks guys. Mucks it is. Found some Edgewater 15" rated from sub zero to 85 models for around $100 and BF sales coming up along with Cyber Monday. May can get them cheaper.
I love to 2 pairs I own. Just can't see buying anything else.
I ordered some Muck Arctic Sport's off E-Bay for $112.00. Waiting on delivery Dec. 2.The only down side I have read about Mucks is they can be slippery on a hard surface. The soles are made more for terrain than a boat deck.When I'm in a boat I may slip a pair of socks over the soles and see if that helps with them being slippery.This will be my first pair.Tractor Supply did not have a size 14 and would have to special order them and the price on E-Bay was too good to pass up. Plus free shipping!http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mens-Muck-Ar...r=450206696490
My boat has no carpet and I've not had a problem with slipping.
Yep....no carpet in mine either.... Mucks never slippedQuote:

Appreciate all the input about these boots. I bought the 12" Edgewater off onlineshoes.com onsale for about $84. Fit great and have kept my feet warm better than any other boats I have tried. Light as a feather too. The soles do take some getting used to on hard wet surfaces like the boat trailer tongue when launching by myself.
Mucks are great boots I wear wool socks just one pair dont want my feet to sweat they are really warm boots and they slip right of your foots
John, drop back to 600 gram .Quote:

Really like my Mucks, but they're slicker than snot on a frosty deck.
just got a pair of muck "wetlands" (-20----70 degrees). have always worn lacrosse . Sure go on easy ! Will know by the end of the month .lol .
