Women's Muck Muckster II Mid Boots, WM2333T, Green

If I buy a pair of work boots for $100+, I expect them to at least stay intact for a few years of work. After only 12 months these boots wore holes in both toes straight through to the socks, cracked (letting water in) at both heels, the insoles are completely disintegrating, and more recently when I went to pull one on the connection between the fabric around the ankle and rubber around the back of the foot shredded, leaving a 1.5 inch wide hole in the back of the boot. Clearly not made to last, something that surprised me given the price. If I wanted a pair of fall-apart-within-a-year boots I would have picked some up at the dollar store for much less than these went for. This brand has disappointed me greatly and I will not be purchasing from them again.

I have had these boots going on 4 years and they are about ready to replace. For reference, I wear them every day, spring through fall, around the farm gardening, doing chores and yard work. (I have my Muck tall chore boots for winter) I love the fold-down feature, as it helps keep your lower legs and feet cooler. The tread grips great in muddy/wet terrain, but is slippery on frosty and snowy footing. They have been 100% waterproof the entire time. The reason I am replacing them is the tread is nearly gone and the insole is worn out and making my feet hurt now, but it makes sense after nearly 4 years! The reason for 4 stars is only because they don't have half sizes. I am a 9.5 and a 9 rubbed too much (even with the insert taken out) and the 10 (which I bought) is too loose and I have to wear thick socks for a good fit.... which in humid MN weather is not ideal. They were well worth the money though and did their job. I will be a Muck boot wearer for life!

Got these for gardening but they are great for walking the dog, and keep feet toasty dry.
