If they can make it through the NH mud season they are good for me. We where looking for a good and less expensive chore boot for our homestead. Perfect timing. Keep up the great work.
They do have camo colors, more than just black. I love my muck arctic pro, great for hunting, ice fishing, snowblowing, good to -50F. Been looking for a summer boot but didnt want to spend Muck money. Definitely grabbing one of these
I get why folks want to spend less, don’t we all? But I really want to see these boots after a YEAR of every day use for at the least, chores. A year, because a month, just isn’t long enough. I know MUCK after a year, is as good as the day out of the box. These boots….I’d be shocked. So, if you get 6 months and are buying a new pair…you’re actually spending MORE, to go cheap China knock offs. I think this is one of those “you get what you pay for” issues.
@@TheMindfulHomestead you’re right about mucks being manufactured in China. I did not know that. The company originated in Connecticut in 1999 and after being acquired by Honeywell…shipped the entire operation to China. Very disappointing!
@@keithrayeski6417 Yup. Your only 3 options for a made in the US boot at this point are Servus (Honeywell), Kamik, or Dunlop. Sadly, I’ve owned a few of those and they fall apart as well.
@@keithrayeski6417 Typically, the US made stuff lasts a shorter time then foreign made. The reason being that cements approved for use in footwear by the EPA are not as good as the stuff they use overseas which is way, way, wayyy less friendly for the environment. So it’s a double edged sword. When I worked in the outdoor gear world, US made footwear came back twice as often for warranty work as foreign made stuff in the same price range.

I saw those after, but they still aren’t snazzy when you fold them down. I wanna be hip!
Funny, I was looking at those boots before this video.
How do you think they would hold up in a daily meat processing environment? Brick floor
I’d definitely go with the Work Boot over the rain boot.
Arch support? Heel to toe drop?
Very little arch support and not much of a drop in these. Maybe 6mm. The work boot has a higher heel counter and more support for sure.
@@TheMindfulHomestead Thanks. It's hard to find boots that aren't trying to double up as casts. I might have to give these a try.
Is this company going under? Go on their website and they have very little sizes to choose from with men's much boots.

FWIW, I’ve shredded Muck’s after 6 months. It’s why I use Bogs now.
Also, Muck’s are all made in China as well.

@@TheMindfulHomestead well, I’m sure none last forever but, if I can get a couple three years….that’s not too disagreeable I don’t think!😁
