Wanted to know if anyone has ever used muck hunting boots if so could you tell me the pros and cons of these boots. do they keep ya warm are they comfortable are they heavy and are they to hot in october?? also what model boot do you suggest?? thanks for any info
I have a pair of wetlands and woody max both pair are very comfortable they are not real heavy .we hunt in Burkesville KY I wear my wetlands 85% of the time because the woody max burn my feet up and they like to eat socks hope this helps Philip
Yes, love the Mucks. You can save $10 or more if you go with black instead of the camo. They fit good, not heavy, warm, and one of the best parts is the neoprene uppers allow easy on and off. I only use in our late hunts, but I expect they will be pretty hot in early fall hunts.
i have a pair that were made into hip waders. i had them on for 10 hours today in some pretty nasty stuff and my feet feel fine. great product. they are a little hot for this time of year though
Best boots I've ever put on for hunting. They let my feet breathe, which keeps them cooler AND warmer.
I wear mine from Sept. to Feb, here....and when they wear out I'll replace them with a duplicate pair. The neoprene upper allows you to roll down the top (cooler).
Love'em. I have the Woody Max I think. Wear them all hunting season. Just wore them in Quebec a few weeks ago for a bear hunt. Didn't notice too much warmth or sweating.
I really like my my wetlands....
But,these are brown neoprene...so yes in warm weather they get hot, and your feet will sweat if walking.
Very comfortable, pretty light for rubber boots...
thanks for all your help looks like Im going to get a pair this weekend
I love mine, but like everyone says they are for late season, or your feet will sweat bad, I also like that you can roll them down when your in camp or not hunting, lets the bottom of your legs get some air and breathe....
Great boots, light weight, waterproof, easiest to get on on off and fit guys with big calves very well.
Love 'em! For cold weather hunting, be sure to get the insulated model, which also has a much better grip on the sole than the standard. I hunt lions in 20-below weather in mine. Don
Love 'em, love 'em, love 'em!!!!!!!!!!
have the woody max, little warm for early season but lightest and easiest on off rubber boots i have ever used....love em also
I have a pair of the wetlands and really like them. I used them in my December elk hunt in Michigan. We had 3 ft of snow and temps in the teens but my feet were toasty warm and comfortable. I think they might be too warm for October hunting though.
I have the hip version. Great for walking through wet vegetation but a little noisy when pulled down. Very durable outer layer.
How well do they wear over time? I just wore out some Lacrosse neoprene upper mud boots that cost me $80. They only lasted 6 months hunting the swamps!
Question: Where Would I Go To BUY Said "Muck Boots"??
Had mine for several years now and they are still going strong. No cracks, great for walking, very comfortable.
i have a pair of woody max they are awesome very warm i wear the down south and hike alot of hills in them do not wear them turkey hunting your feet may melt i wore them once for that and will never wear them again for turkeys overall great boots
Best overall rubber hunting boot I've ever had. I greatly prefer them over anything Lacross makes. I've had my pair for a good 4 years and they are still going strong.
Try getting them directly from Muck...and they ship free.

I got mine at Sportsman Warehouse, but most big sporting goods stores (Cabelas, Bass Pro) carry them.
Mine are 3 years old and good as new.
I've had a pair of Woody Max for about 4 years and I'm sold. Prior to these I wore Lacrosse. The Muck's do breath much better, are lighter, more comfortable for walking in, and the Woody's are very warm when they need to be. I've hunted in mine in temps from 55F to 5F. I've worn them on stand in single digits for a few hours at a time, and with a polypro liner and heavy wool sock they kept my feet warm. Excellent boots.
I like mine!
Woody Max-- have gone through 2 hunting seasons without cold feet, down below zero degrees at times. Just get them dried out inside before each use. Best boots ever, IMHO, for cold weather.
I bought mine off the net, The Muck Boot Outlet, either Nashville or Memphis, Tenn. Good shipping and return policy. I went with the cheaper pair, camo, in the $85.00 range. Wore them from October through December in heat and cold. Most comfortable rubber boot I've ever had on my feet.I'm sold. :thumbsup:
"Muck" refers to the toe-jam stew that it brews as you walk with them in any weather warmer than about 35 degrees Farenheit. Also, colder than 32 degrees Farenheit, your feet will freeze. But don't listen to me, I hate rubber boots...they don't work with my biology for sure.
I have a pair of Woody Max. Good for stand hunting in Nov and December in the north country. They get pretty warm with just a little walking though. That model contains too much insulation for down south hunting IMO. Think a non-insulated model would work better there.
I love mine but I noticed that even while keeping them as scent proof as possible, deer still smell where I walked in. This leads me to believe that they don't hold your scent in like a rubber boot will. Anyone else notice this? :confused:
As for durability, no problem. I've had mine for four hard seasons with no trouble. Now that every man, woman and child in MT is wearing them, they are available at every hardware store in the state. Don
The local Tractor Supply Company (TSC)has them. I have two pairs. The short shoe stlye and the mid calf-boot; which for someone like me with short legs it's almost a full boot. I have worn my shoe style ones for 5 years now almost every single day. They are the most comfortable things to waer. I got them origionally for early bow season but just couldn't stop wearing them.

I have 2 pair. The Fieldmaster for early season. And, the insulated Woody Max for the colder weather. They're great boots. The only ones I've worn for 2 years now. Order direct, they ship free.
