I've Seen a few posts on Muck Boots and would like to know if they hold up and are durable. I need a pair of "light weight" waterproof boots for winter kayaking, hunting and fishing.
Are they tough, light weight and waterproof when standing in water. Getting in and out of a kayak, you need to stand in the water. You also need a light weight, some what flexable boot to fit under the deck and operate the rudder pedals.
I've tried other rubber boots but they all are heavy and too bulky. I use a pair of light weight hip boots but even the feet on these are bulky. From the picture,the Muck Boot Edgewater looks it might be the ticket.
I have been used the Woody Max for about 2 years now and they are great boots.
I would say they are tough boots that are about as waterproof as you are going to get, as long as water does not go over the top. As far as weight goes they are OK. I am sure there are lighter boots out there but they are not clod hoppers by any means and are pretty flexible.
These are not the kinda boots I would wear hiking up a mountain or anything but for chasing local whitetails they are my go to boots. Best boots I have had for stand hunting.
I have never been in a kayak before but as far as hunting and fishing boots they are hard to beat.
They are tough, but SE Virginia Briars are tougher. This is the third season for mine and other than a couple of cuts from those briars they work great. Get a tube of silicon sealant when you buy the boots if you anticipate using them in briar thickets.
Can't be happier with my Muck boots. Water over the top will be your problem. Contact the folks at Muck Boot Discount Outlet on the web. Believe they are in Tenn. They will be able to answer your questions. Free shipping. If you are not happy with your purchase you can return for full credit. Most comfortable rubber boot I've ever owned and I have used them in rough country, though not the Rocky Mountains.

cant agree more! i am also in va, and one year in the briars tore a quarter size chunk of rubber off the foot part. those things cost alot too, 100$ or more. they are super warm, were water proof, and fairly light, but to fragile for the price. now i use them for deer hunting, to keep my scent off the ground, as they are no longer any use for duck hunting. bummer too, as i had only used them for one season...
