Men's Men's Muckmaster Gold Tall Boot

Needed a knee-high rubber boot for hunting. Had to be comfortable, waterproof, and have good traction. Needed to be warm enough for prolonged sitting down to 32F, but not too hot with moderate movement at up to 60F. According to the product description, the Muckmaster Gold met all my criteria. Wrong. These boots feel "okay" around the ankle and foot, but they're way too small/tight around the calf. I have normal sized legs, but I can barely tuck my pantlegs inside. Traction is "just okay," but certainly doesn't inspire any confidence in wet, slippery conditions. In temperatures below 40F, my feet are cold in the heel and instep area. Toes are very cold, unless I use chemical toe heater pads. Also cold standing/walking in snow. In temperatures above 45F, my feet roast, even with only moderate activity. Boots do seem to be waterproof. They are also lightweight, which is nice, but what good is that if they're too cold or too hot 90% of the time. I really buying these. Not sure what I'll use them for. Functional in a very limited scope of conditions. Wish I could return them, but I've worn them a few times. You kind of need to do that in order to determine if they're any good or not.

I was happy with them for 6 months but two major problems: 1. Very difficult to get off - other boot companies have a ledge on the sole allowing you to kick the boots off without using your hands. 2. Not durable at all - as a wetland scientist, our work flow is dependent on our gear. A phragmities stalk stabbed straight through the sole, then the insole, and into my foot. Luckily, my wool sock prevented any serious injury.

I bought these a year ago and the boot is still going strong! I currently own three different pairs and these ones are my favorite. These boots are durable and warm, not as warm as the arctic pros, but I digress. Would recommend buying these and it’s worth the price.

Been wearing Muck boots primarily Muck masters for at around 15 years. I Wear them daily in the winter I've probably purchased six to eight pairs never a problem always comfortable and waterproof.

Waste of money, boot is neither waterproof nor warm. Owned a previous pair for 4 years, no problems. Should have heeded the warnings that overall quality of muck boots has severely dropped off
