Interesting. This seems to be a common theme about the recent Mucks that people are getting...the wear well and very comfortably for a couple of seasons and then start falling apart.
I'm willing...

Same, usually use shoe goo but I used tent sealer recently on my Muck Boots where they split in that picture below...let them cure overnight and worked really well.
Definitely get yourself some proper chainsaw boots, have heard too many horror stories and had too many close calls myself. The Husqvarna boots are found for a decent price but I always wished I'd...
Nice, I'll have to check out that Last Chance option if I end going with the Kamik's after this season...
I agree, it's surprising how quickly the liner wears through on the inside of the Muck Boot...but I did find a solution that is working well on the heels of mine: adhesive heel padding that's...
I thought I'd revisit this thread since I started it just about two years ago searching for the "best" bush boots. At that time, I ended up going with a pair of Muck Chore boots at the recommendation...
Got the new set of Mucks in yesterday - just in time for the taps to freeze up but I wore them around the back 9 last night and tonight to collect the equipment I had out. Warm with only one pair of...
gotcha, I felt the same way about the muck steel toes - since I have chainsaw boots I wasn't about to double my cost to replace them prematurely.
Are they steel toe?
Got the Mucks today — thanks Amazon Prime and consumerist instant gratification — think they will be just the ticket as I wore them for a sap collection run through a mix of ice, slushy snow banks...
I saw the Kamiks (are these the "icebreakers"?) were very highly rated on some outdoor gear blog. Definitely a tick below Mucks and Bogs in price point but I was worried they'd be just a tad too warm...
Nice, didn't know mucks made a hiking boot. I just ordered a Chore mid so I'll report back if its what I hoped or if I go back to the drawing board.
Agree with you there — merino wool socks made a believer out of me. I upgraded all of my outdoor "baselayers" to merino wool 2 years ago, would never go back. Warm when it's cold, cool when it's hot,...
Ok, so those are waterproof hikers then? I wear Vasque (forget the name) Gore Tex hiking boots from about late September and on. Especially for snow shoeing! BUt that's exactly what im looking to...
Agreed. I went all out on chainsaw safety gear a couple years ago after a coworkers brother killed himself being stupid and unsafe - I have knee-high Husqavarna full steel shank, toe and ankle...
Huh, I'll check that out - an overboot? I have a really nice pair of Gore TEx hiking boots that are very comfortable and broken in but could use some help in the heavy snow or slush. THese sound like...
Ok, that seals it for me — ordering Muck CHores in a mid length as we speak. Found them for $80 it looks like with free shipping.
Interesting point — so, I won't be doing any major tap expansion this year (maybe a couple dozen tops with some neighbors) but I spend most of every weekend day outside and I've always purchased...
Another vote for Muck boots...seeing a trend.
THat's multiple votes for Irish Setters - never heard of them until now!
Good tips - my boot dryer is the fire poker rack by the wood stove!
Here's one I haven't seen yet or else missed - if your sugar bush is like our small back 9 it's a muddy mess by sapping time; what's everybody's go to "bush" boot?
My rubber chainsaw boots are too...
