“This the 2nd pair of Muck boots I've owed. The 1st pair I had for 11 years, which were the Muck Master model, and they were great, the only problem is that they were to tight in the toe cap, but I still got a lot of service out of them. The heels were wearing down and I was losing traction on slippery surfaces. So I retired those boots, and after doing research, decided on the Muck Chore Boots, which have a wider toe cap and seemed to be made better or more heavy duty, plus I liked the fact that the rubber did not go up as high, which make them easier to put on, because you can roll them down half way. The Muck Chore boots also have a better tread design which offers better overall traction. The only thing that would make these boots better, is if they were made in the good old USA; to bad they are made in China, very sad!”
