Muckboots?

[Alreetmiowdmuka]

Alreet..i’m looking into getting a pair off wellies.mainly for walking the dog over the tops near me.it Can get very muddy at times n I’m sick off having to clean my hiking boots all the time.i want something comfortable that I can clock a few miles up in.they”ll also come in handy for fishing and messing about in the woods with the lad.muckboots seem too fit the bill but theirs a few different types.i like the look of the Arctic grip vibram sole ones but not sure if their gonna be too warm.so anybody use them n which type.plus any other brands to.

I've heard good things about these http://www.koalaproducts.co.uk/clot...prene-wellington-muck-boot-green-dbfw003.html

Not tried them as yet though !

I have two pairs of Muckboots. One of my roles if looking after a local nature reserve that’s a riverine woodland so designed to flood in the winter.

I got bored with cold wet feet leading tree planting and other conservation days.

My feet are now toasty and dry. The soft neoprene uppers are nice and comfortable.

I recommend them.

Do you know which particular type of muckboots you have

I've got some short Derwents that have been great. Were I to buy more today, I'd go for the Arctics that are on sale.

I've had a couple of pairs of muckboots they're fantastic i wear them year round by far the best wellies i've ever had. The first pair were the Tay model and the ones i've had for the last couple of years are the chore .....................Highly recommended

Use derwents for canoeing, add some wool socks and you're sorted. Will buy another pair probably before these ones die although had them since 2008. Note the soles on mine are quite soft for grip so will not last long on tarmac. The vibrams may be different or they may have changes to sole material so...?

Very warm and confortable wellies. Not hard wearing for me though (farmer) i get about 8 months out of muckboots but a couple of years out of 'quatro' wellies. Don't know anything about the brand i just picked a pair up when my local place was out of muckboots

One word of caution on muckboots. Don't get the 'off road' type tread pattern, they are fine in mud but near lethal on wet concrete or tarmac

Add Grubs Boots to the look-at list.
Perhaps they're made(or owned ?) by Muckboots :

I have a pair of Snowlines. Very comfortable, tread like a tractor tyre , & too warm for anything above 0'C.

Last pair of Grubs Stalkers did me well for years. Word of warning though, when its cold don't stand too close to the fire as neoprene doesn't do well.

Also if moving from boots to wellies for certain duties you need to spend well on thick socks. Socks are the key to comfort when it comes to wellies. That and decent insoles.

Had a pair of these for 3+ years - before I was a dedicated Le Chameau user - used for dog walking several times per week (5+) in all weathers/seasons. Soles great, very comfy, bramble resistant, benefit from good sock as per previous comments. Will definitely be buying more when they wear out (no sign as yet). Generous sizing, so go for shoe size.

Kamik are the rolls Royce of this type of boot, they do them upto 10mm thick neoprene, they are designed for walking, and give the foot and ankle a huge amount of support, they come up in deals all the time nd are well worth giving consideration over muckboots https://instagram.com/p/BdcjLxzlNiT/

I got some of those snow boots from decathlon they are warm, waterproof and confortable walk the dog in them most days done me well over a year for £10

Got Aigle natural rubber standard model with 50% discount at Decathlon. Just good muckboots.

I have two pairs of Muckboots (one is the Arctic one, no idea on the other), and I have just got the mrs a pair. I haven't found a better, warmer, or more comfortable boot, and highly recommend them.

Look at both the Kamik and the Sorel Canadian winter boots.
Your cold and wet and mud is much like our west coast Fraser Valley.

The key thing to pay attention to is the diversity of inner boot liners.
That's what sets the temperature scale inside the boot.
That's what sets the comfort level to wear in camp.
That's what to buy extras to rotate through the waterproof boot shells.

Me? I have 2 pr felt liners that don't fit any boot shells.
Even evenings on a plastic ground tarp sheet is a pleasure for cozy footwear.
Walking, I wear Greb Kodiak and never blink at the price.

I have a pair of Muckmaster boots in green colour. The ones with the off road sole. I got these 2 years ago from a big named site in Uk .
They are correctly sized for me at 1 size 10. No need for extra socks.
They are light and easy to get on and off. Good grip with these soles on mud and wet grass. Lovely and warm , for this weather and dog walking.
I used these whilst rotovating my garden in the summer here in France , and they were hot. Not uncomfortable , but I knew my feet were warm.

Yes they are not cheap , but you get what you pay for.
I still have my old toe tector wellies , but I found they were cold. As I did not need safety boots , I got these Muck boots. Great buy.

I just read some bad news about the quality of the Hunter boots. Has anybody had problems, like the outermost layer peeling off, splitting and leaking?
