I finally broke down and bought some Muck Boots. Wow, these things are amazing. I can't wait for the weekend to give them a true test.

Welcome to the um...Muck Club Kelly! I got my Woody Max's 2 yaers ago and I'll be picking up a pair of the artic pros this spring for next season. Most comfortable, warm boots you can get for the money. You get em at Dunn's?

e bay these are the Wetlands. Bass Pro wanted $129, I paid $88. Had them in 2 days, seem to be comfy, warm and my feet didn't sweat. I was outside about 30 min running the snowblower.

Got a pair of the arctic pros this winter. Wore them one day and they were drenched in sweat but my feet were hot. It hasn't been cold enough to wear them. But I love muck boots!

Can your bibs or coveralls fit in them?

Pant legs is it. I tried pant legs and a pair of insulated pants this morning. All I could get were my hunting pants. They do have a little stretch in them and over time I think you could possibly get the bibs in. I still wouldn't trade them for any other pair of boots.

Great boots, love mine, got the Wetlands. One drawback, the uppers are fragile. Corn stalks will punch right through. Always wear pants on the outside. Three of us have them, all three have had to patch them...

What did you use to patch them with? I have a pair that got tagged by a corn stalk. They don't leak yet, but I want to stay ahead of the game.

I've been rockin' some rubber boot I picked up at Dicks about five years ago. Never thought they'd be a decent boot but I wear them for everything hunting. Only time I don't is when I'm in waders. Thought about getting myself a pair of the Mucks, but the thought of not wearing those things and paying a hundred bucks on 'em honestly just makes me sad :lol: I'm sure I'll have to break down soon and get a new pair, but until then, Field and Stream it is!!!

I also have the wetlands. It took me a couple trips to figure out how heavy of socks to wear, but now I really like them.

gotta love MUCK's! I've had mine over a year (the wetlands :banana: ) and I wear them to feed hay bales at work, to deer hunt, and goose/ duck hunt! I wear them almost daily!

oh.... and after a quick splash with the hose they still look new!
