Bought a pair of MuckBoots™ in 2015. Came extremely recommended to me. I was striding down a track, extolling them to a friend, having had them about a month. " And These bad boys don't just split! " I boasted.

" They've split. " He said. Disinterestedly pointing at the split in my left boot ..... mad

On my second pair, no more for me.
Along with many points made here the uppers are soft and subject to tearing and punctures.
Baffin boots for super cold temps and good old Tingley farm chore boots for all else. Chore boots are tough and very affordable.

I will going with Roughshods. Have heard really good things. My last mucks have had the same issues splitting out.

Mucks did make a donation but it was not as intended and in a beloved employees name. No harm no foul on their part in my book

Muck boots are a great boot I'm on my had 3rd pair all artic pros. The one thing is if you do a lot of walking through brush and marshes on my 2 previous pairs the soles start to peel right off even though the uppers are in perfect condition. This also happened to my sons pair also. I get 3 years out of them before this starts happening.

Own several pairs of muck boots. Decent boot. I’m aware of the relationship between muck and dryshod. Just purchased a dryshod boot hoping it would last longer than my mucks. The dryshod boot is a much better boot. I wear orthotics for flat fleet and plantar fasciitis issues. Dryshod gives me more support and stability and it’s a higher quality boot. Looking forward to putting it to the test of time.

I bought Diane 2 different styles of Muck Boots, about a year apart, neither pair lasted near a year. In my opinion, Muck Boots are high priced junk.

If you water trap with them, a beaver stick will poke through the sides w/o much effort. The soles were too soft for my liking, and left my feet sore(dairy use)

Dry shod haymaker. Wore them everyday since September. I can tell already they are going to last longer than the last pair of mucks I wore out

Used to not sell them in widths and they did not fit wide feet. I think they offer widths now. Investigate Statesman at Southern States. Seem just as good to me and fit better.

I'd buy them at a yard sale
But never retail
