Muck Boots Hale Multi-Season Women's Rubber Boot

Comment

I adore these boots!!! After borrowing a pair from a friend, I knew I had to get a pair of my own! Theyre so comfortable, they keep the rain and other muck off your feet and bottoms of your legs without fail, are easy to clean, have nice tread for basic walking and chores, and come in a ton of great color options! The soles are super cushioned, and almost bouncy when you walk in them, which helps my feet be so much less fatigued than other, less cushioned shoes and boots do after any amount of work. Thats even including when Iwas helping someone move in the rain and mud on a farm! These are also are incredibly good at being water, mud, and general muck proof. Nothing gets through them, even though the top portion of the boots are a softer, less plastic/rubber feeling material than the bottom foot areas are. Trust me, Ive put them through a great test being on a farm during the rainy/mud season. Theyre also padded just enough overall so that if you bump into something, kick something accidentally, or drop lighter things on legs or feet it doesnt hurt! These arent super insulated to me. But I love the level of insulation that they do have. Theyre great for cooler days, and on up to pretty warm days. Theyre not going to keep your feet incredibly warm in 30 degree or less weather if youre outside a long time without heavy socks, but theyre also not going to make your feet super hot and sweaty after working in like 70 degree weather either. I wanted them for exactly that. The ability tobe wearable ina pretty wide range of temperatures. The weather in my area varies greatly, with rain, snow, hot, cold, and everything in between (sometimes all in one day). These boots, however, are exactly what I wanted for that. I got the black color with the very light semi-plaid stripes. I find these are nice enough looking to wear walking into work on wet and mucky days when I have to hike across a university campus. They also do so without looking like a 5 year old in her cutesy rain booties. Clean up takes little to no effort, so these stay looking great! I adore that I can wear them working at home on the farm, and then also while walking into a professional environment before switching into other shoes without looking childish, like a muddy mess, or just kind of tacky like a good number of other rain boots Ive seen. I did find that these run a little wide. I do have narrower feet though, and I also like that I have room left to wear thicker socks in the colder weather if I want. I think the length is pretty true to size. My friends boots I borrowed are a size smaller than what I typically wear, and while I can wear them relatively comfortably, my toes do hit the ends. With my pair, I ordered my typical shoe size, and the length seems perfect. I highly recommend these if you want super functional, great performing, comfortable, and attractive boots for the rain and muck!

Oh, this one hurts to write. Ive heard nothing but good things about Muck boots, and it was time to retire a pair of boots from a different brand that had lasted me for just about 5 years. Upon researching, Mucks wound up at the top of my list. I live in Michigan, so I wanted a boot that would keep my feet warm and dry in the winter, and safe from rain in the spring. I walk - a lot - and safety while I traverse my way is super-important, especially in the winter time. Amazons size estimator as very helpful; I wear a womens 9.5 wide shoe, sometimes 10. Amazon suggested size 10 Mucks for me, and I thought, why not, trust the process, and the like. The price made me catch my breath a little, but I figured these would be a worthy investment. •Pro: The boots fit great. They give me some wiggle room for my toes, and arent so big that my toes bang around and get hurt. •Pro: The boots are plenty warm and cozy. As they are brand-new, the water-resistance is lovely. I love not having to worry about getting soggy socks! •Con: The stiffer material in the back of the boot has been digging into the area of my leg where my calf meets my heel. My skin has been rubbed raw. Id love for a liner to drop into my boot to prevent this from happening. Theres been blood. Ouch. •Con: Difficult to quickly put on. The tab at the back of the boot is simply not enough to help get these taller boots up my calves. A loop at the front, maybe handles on the sides of the boots, could help remedy this issue. •Con: The treads. Oh my goodness. Or, the lack thereof. These boots offer next to no grip on the ice. While I am as watchful as I can be while I walk, there is no grip if I encounter some hidden ice. This is exceedingly disappointing. The label "multi-season boot" implies, to me, that I could wear this boot during any season of the year...including winter...so, it should offer SOME grip on the ice, right? Ive slipped and nearly fallen more times than I can count in the past few days, despite how carefully Ive traveled on foot. Ive waffled on returning these boots, Ive thought about purchasing YakTrax for them...the boots are warm and relatively comfortable...but, I cannot go higher than 3 stars, for the Cons that have outnumbered the Pros. I wish very much that I could have left a perfect 5-star review.

My husband and my son both have a pair, they wear them hunting. They love them! They keep their feet warm and dry, and they are light too so I ordered a pair for myself. I wear an 8 1/2 but after reading some of the reviews I ordered an 8 instead of a 9, Im glad I did. They fit great, a little snugger if I wear a heavier sock, but even so they keep my feet nice and warm! I love them for chores outside, no wet feet and nice and toasty toes! :D I highly recommend these boots!

I love these! Our snowy Montana winters necessitate a warm pair of boots and these fit the bill. The reviews indicated that these boots accommodated wide feet well, so I took a chance. They were correct. I have a small foot with a narrow ankle, but unfortunately my toe box is on the wide side so shoe shopping is generally a nightmare. These were wide enough that I still had room after putting on a thick wool sock (which I can NEVER wear, even in a wide shoe). I ordered a size 6, my usual, but I probably could have taken a 5. Theyve kept my fee warm and dry, even in this unusually wet, slushy winter weather.

I purchased these in January of 2016 and really loved them for the first year. They were waterproof and with heavy socks kept my feet warm. However, 1 year in and the soles wore out so much that I would slip and fall on grass and mud. So I stopped wearing them. I mostly only walk on grass in my yard. This morning was pouring rain and decided I would wear them and just be careful. I stepped out of the barn onto a wet wooden threshhold and went flying and fell on my butt and twisted my right knee. I am in my 60s and have a few goats, so never wear boots for too long and they are too hot for summer. So although the neoprene has held out great and nothing fell apart, the soles are not made with lasting rubber. By the way I buy 100s of items a year on Amazon and very seldom leave feed back, but my knee hurts so much I wanted to warn others.
