Wife is going to need warm boots for our early traditional shoots we will be set up at.Looking at Muck and was wondering about opinions with experience.Thanks
I've been using mine now for 4 or 5 years and love them. Really comfortable and for me, warm enough to hunt in down here all season long.
I'mon my second pair. I love them. Easy to get on and off and comfortable even during longer hikes. For sitting in a treestand they will keep me warm down to about 25 degrees.
I have had a pair for 3-4 years now. They are OK for my hunting through October. In December I put on different boots.
The only thing I do not like about them is the fit. I have poor arches and they are too wide for me so if I know I am hunting from a stand I will wear them. If I am planning on a lot of walking I go to something else. Now, one of my best friends uses his for everything bowhunting, rifle hunting, and pheasant hunting. He loves them, I think they are just OK.
I love mine! I have the Armor series which is snakebite proof. I think those are discontinued. I'm into my third year on these boots. Very comfortable for slip-on boots.
Absolutely love mine. Will buy a pair the second these let me down. This is my third season with the current pair.
Love mine, had them for 9 or 10 seasons, and they're still very wearable and warm.
awesome boots,,, get the wetlands though because they are tighter around the top where if I do step into the water unlike lacross they won't fill up in 1/2 a second.... plus I keep my knife and grunt call in my boots for easy access when sitting. someone mentioned above when it gets lower than the 30's and I'm not moving I might wear something with more insulation. not sure if the others have this but with the wet lands if you roll down the tops of the boots they are blaze orange inside,, I guess it helps if you know you have a gunner or bird hunter around.
I'm still on the fence if they lay down scent as you walk or not because of the fabric BUT I've never had a deer cross my path within view and spook so I don't know,,,,, I will always have a pair of mucks!
this is my 7th season and they have not had one problem with workmanship.
I absolutely love my mucks. I too have the wetlands and I wear mucks almost 365 days a year. If I'm hunting, fishing, doing yard work, heck really about anything I have a pair on. Ill never be without a pair or 3
I love mine. I'm on season 4 with no issues.
About as good a rubber boot as you will find. I have had two pairs and they are very warm.
I just love mine I have the arctic, I bought my wife a set and she loves them. Made in China as I checked around to see if anything like them were made in the US found nothing that compared so i went with them and glad i did.
I agree they are a fine pair of rubber boots. I have had two pair of the wetlands and also have a pair of the woodlands, but I only wear the woodlands when its COLD because if not my feet will sweat like crazy. I also have a wide foot so I love the fit and I have tore through a many a briar patch in them that would completely rip a lesser boot.
Buy 'em. The Artic Sports have worked up here in the worst weather Michigan can dish out. I think mine are around 10 years old and still look great. Plus they weigh NOTHING.
The old ones made in the USA are very good. We have several pairs made in China and the bottoms come off. Cabela's has a pair called "Field Masters" I think. They have held up the best of the Chinese boots. When they go on sale at Cabela's you can get them for about $75.
I'm on my fourth year on a pair of wetlands and still going strong,bought the wife a pair like them last Saturday. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
love my mucks
I have two pairs. The first pair soles separated from the boot after some hard hunting. I used barge cement to repair the boots which lasted two years. I just did them again. That being said, I still love the boots. Easy on and off, warm, and comfortable. No problems with the newer ones.
I have a pair of Woody Armor and love them. They are easy on and off, keep you warm and dry, snakeproof, and are comfortable. I have hunted in very cold weather, sitting in a swamp, with the water freezing around the boots. Just a wiggle and the ice breaks up, but feet are fine. Not a better boot in my opinion.
They are excellent.
I have used them for some time and have zero complaints.
I had several pair of Woody Max until I discovered the Wetlands. Unless the label and box were wrong, the Wetlands is essentially the exact same boot but with brown exterior, blaze orange interior rather than camo. The store I got mine from had both, only the Wetlands was $50 cheaper in brown rather than camo. I can't see paying that much extra just for camo.

My thoughts exactly.
I have the Muck "Wetland" series.
Ive had mine for almost nine years,sole is just starting to come off at the toe,Aqua seal is supposed to be good for repairing.Bought my son,soninlaw and 4 year old granddaughter some mucks.Best rubber boot Ive used in 42 years.With the right sox Ive stayed in the tree stand all day in some pretty cold weather.
Good Luck
The best rubber boots I have ever had, by far! I have the plain old chore model. Some of the other models are probably better for hunting.
I have heard almost nothing but good from them. I have a friend that lived in Northern Alaska for a year, he wore them all winter long.
My last pair of Merrel's lasted over 7 years. I replaced them with Danners this year because my Merrel shoes weren't made any more. To me, the Danner boots are more comfortable. I've never worn Muck boots though, so they might be even better.
Hmm wondering now if I have the US made or the china made, is there something in the design you can tell?
I love em. Been hooked on them since the first time I tried them. My current pair, woody sports , have lasted me almost ten years. They have been such a good boot , I have another pair ,new in the box, waiting for these to fail.
There you have it Terry, maybe The Nocking Point should sell them. Then it would be easier for Sheila to get a pair.
That is an idea,then I would probably have a pair too.
I will add that I have the wetlands and use them from Sept. through Jan. here in Indiana. When it is real cold I can get 2 pair of good wool socks in them or one pair and a chemical warmer under my toes.
i use my artic sports up here in canada- better than anything else i have worn.
get them for about 100 bucks at a tack store in ab.
I have the Arctic Pro's, which are called something else now I think. They are too warm for bow season in N.C.(Lacrosse Burley's for that), but will handle anything Jan.-Feb. can dish out. I got a size too large, so I could wear thick socks and my only complaint is I get a little slippage and irritation at the back of the ankle from a day's walking. I can wear a light poly innersock and eliminate it, but with 1000 grams of thinsulate, if I get another I'll just get a pair that fits and athletic socks would be plenty around here.
Looks like Muck boots it is.She will want to keep her toes warm while cashing people out at the early shoots.
Yes, they are the ticket for cold weather. I wear mine when it is bitterly cold, and the feet stay toasty warm.
as old dog said, i got a size bigger, and i wear two pairs of socks, and can put one of those heater sachets in between the socks, on top of my toes, so a sock to hold it in place , and a thicker sock so that it doesnt burn my feet, i use the glove warmer ones, they last longer.
sat in a tree stand's, motionless for many hours in the canuck fall/winters- and never got cold
I have the Woody Sports. Very comfy, light weight, and warm enough down to 20. :thumbsup:
