I was searching for a boot that would keep my feet warm but not be clunky. I just typed muck boots in my address bar and what do you know? There they were. I still have the first pair I bought (6? years ago) and loaned them to my daughter when she had to work with our horses in our nasty wet clay paddocks. She kept borrowing them and I finally bought her a pair which she also still wears (5years) I also purchased a pair for my son in law. I got a lighter pair for myself to wear in warmer weather and have just purchased a riding boot as well as a pair for my 4 year old grandson and my spouse. My son in law is the only one, so far that has worn his boots out but he is excessively busy in the barn, the fields, and workshop and his boots are just now showing their age (4 years) in muck, cow urine and other nasty stuff.
