![]() ![]() Lastly, I find them to be slippery on the ice. So keep this in mind if you’re looking for an expensive pair of boots without a warranty.īut they do have all the same features of Muck Boots that many people like (and some don’t like). When I brought them in, they couldn’t be replaced. About 2 months in, they got a tear towards the top of the boot. They slip on and off easy as well, but they do have their issues like the others. They are a bit cheaper than the Wetlands or Arctic Pros, and I’m assuming this is because they don’t have the warmth or construction as the other two. If you’re looking to give Muck Boots a try, you may want to look into the Chore St boots. This is a bit disappointing to me, considering the cost of these boots. So while MOST people will get probably 3-5 years out of them, for someone who uses these boots a lot, 2 years is about all you’ll get out of them. But over about 2 years, I started getting cracking in these like the Wetlands. That extra warmth kept my feet that much warmer, and I appreciated that. When I’m on the ice all day ice fishing, I did like this pair of boots better. I felt they fit my feet just a bit better than the others I’ve worn. This was fine with me, but I did notice my feet sweating more (and stinkier boots).Īs all pairs of Muck boots, they were very comfortable. The first thing I noticed, is that they are warmer than the Wetlands version. Muck Arctic Pro BootsĪfter my first 2 pairs of Wetlands, I gave the Muck Boots Arctic Pros a shot. The cracking occurs along the sides of the feet. As you can see, Muck Boots are very susceptible to tearing. I’ve tried to repair them unsuccessfully in the past. ![]() I literally toss them at that point, as I’m in wet conditions a lot and don’t have time to get my feet soaked in cold weather.Īlso, the tops are susceptible to tearing if you come across any sticks or barb wire, for example. So they do get A LOT of use (I’m an avid outdoorsman). Not only do I wear them hunting, but ice fishing as well. This didn’t happen right away, but they did crack on the first pair after around 18 months and the 2nd pair at about 2 years. While I thought this was just a problem with one pair, it happened with both pairs. Over time, the boots will start to crack and this allows water in (losing waterproofing). They do fit true to size, and I’m a size 11 (and size 11 fits me well). It’s a good idea to roll your Muck Boots down each night to let them dry out easier. If you’re looking for something quicker, I highly recommend getting a pair of boot dryers with any pair of Muck boots, not just the Wetlands version. I’ve found it’s best to roll the top down (with all Muck Boots, actually) and this makes them easier to dry out. But the fact they don’t breath well makes them get stinky in a hurry. I do like that they are waterproof up to the top of the boots, and are very easy to get on and off. When I’m moving around, no problem, but when your feet start to sweat that’s when your feet can get cold. I’m an avid hunter, waterfowl mostly, and I hunt out of blinds a lot. I’ve found that if you wear wool socks, they start to sweat and that’s when your feet get cold (when you stop moving in the cold). My feet don’t get too cold by nature, I live and hunt in Canada and the Dakotas and these have done the job for warmth when I’m just wearing a standard pair of white cotton socks. In fact, as I’ve stated earlier I’ve had 2 pairs. My first pair of Muck Boots were the Wetlands model. And Muck boots are great for this, but over the years I’m starting to notice a trend, and I will share this with you on my in-depth Muck boots review. I like slip-on style boots, that you can get on and off quickly and away you go. In fact, I’ve owned 2 pairs of Muck Boots Wetlands, a pair of Muck Boots Chore St., and a pair of Muck Boots Arctic Pro boots. I’ve had numerous pairs of Muck Boots on my feet through the years. ![]()
