Sell me on muck boots

I find it funny how different of a thread this would be if the people posting were from Alaska instead of Washington.

I used my LaCrosse in the muskeg just fine.  Ain't no boot, except maybe hip waders, going to keep the water from going over the top when you sink in up to your knee though.

I have used the lacrosse for years, since a kid.  Mucks IMO were junk, along with some UA muck style. When I started working in the woods on the westside I started wearing rubber corks from hoffman's. Never looked back, best rubber boots I have ever worn. Would wear them anywhere. Bought some uncorked for westside BT and general use.

My muck boots failed, tore at the rubber neoprene interface above the heel.

Got a cheaper pair of knock off brand, painful on my feet, never had a boot hurt so much, they press down on the top of my foot and do something to my arch that hurts, so I can't wear them

I've had good luck over the years with two or three pairs of Lacrosse rubber boots, and currently I have a pair of Cabelas and they've been great as well. I walk miles and miles in them. But certainly not on real steep ground. And if it's warm I don't wear them. But I sure do like my feet always being dry, and never having to worry about wading across creeks and through mud like I would with leather boots. Never have tried Muck boots.

Mucks and Lacrosse are great when needed - wet muck swamp areas that will wet any leather boot in couple hours.

I prefer deck boots (xtra tuff, Tingly Pylon, etc.) for most wet Washington hunting unless it's really deep slimy stuff.

I had a pair of the woody max mucks and if it was above freezing, they were too warm for me. Also don’t like how they’re constructed, seams around the bottom of the boots that separate and leak with use.

Unless you’re walking on flat ground I wouldn’t recommend any rubber boots for hunting, no ankle support.
