Replace Worn-Out Muck Boots With???

[Mighty Mouse]

It’s time to replace my trusty old Muck boots. I’ve had them for over 15 years, but the soles recently began separating and my attempts to repair them haven’t held up. I want to replace them with something similar but possibly less insulated. A light-to-medium amount of insulation would be okay, but it doesn’t get cold enough here to warrant heavy insulation. I just want something durable that keeps me dry to upper-calf when working around the farm in wet/muddy conditions. I’m not opposed to going with another pair of Mucks, but what other brands should I consider? Photo below is the worn-out boots I’m replacing.

Lacrosse if your are looking for more rubber boots. You can get the Burly line in different insulations

Europtic has some great sales on lacrosse

lacrosse fit my feet better than muck, but i have never had remotely close to 15 years out of a pair.

I was asking myself the same question this morning. Lacrosse used to be fantastic, but I’ve heard they’re not what they once were. I have a pair of Lacrosse Ice Kings that Ive had for 25 years and they still are great.

Dryshod - same owner as original muck boots.

I saw some Dryshod the other day and liked them

I really like the Muck chore cool boots. Lighter, cooler, and they have a vibram sole rather than the molded wader type sole.

Kuiu's new "muck" boot is very attractive to me also but I have not tried them.

Another Dryshod vote.

Lacrosse is all I’ll wear if I want a rubber boot.

I like my LaCrosse boots. Very comfortable and easy to slip on. I wear them year around. I’ve used them on wet 80* days and in foot-deep snow. Not the best choice for climbing mountains, but they are warm and dry.

I had my first pair of mucks for about 15 years as well. Replaced them with another pair of mucks. My boy just took them over, so I grabbed a pair of dryshods that were on clearance . Just as comfortable. I’ll see how these hold up.

I hate those style boots but Lacrosse have been the best for me, had a pair of Dryshod and they tore mt heels up, seems I was between sizes in them, they seemed like a quality boot.

Beating a dead horse at this point, but Lacrosse. Had mine about 5 yrs so far have held up and are comfy

Nothing will last 15 years anymore. Find something that fits, and buy another pair to keep on the shelf in case those get discontinued.

If your wearing rubber boots and your not using these then you're missing out! We started wearing these like 10 years ago. Wearing these booties over a light to mid-weight sock will keep your feet dry from all the sweat that occurs from wearing rubber boots. I would choose your boot of choice and then try them on with these booties to make sure they fit properly - not tight. I typically have to go up 1 full size in my boots to accommodate the booties. You can thank me later when you no longer have nasty wet socks from sweating in boots that don't breathe.
