Get Down And Dirty With The Best Muck Boots For Men

When I lived on a farm, most of my muckiest jobs involved the barn where the chickens and sheep live or the large pasture with the alpacas and llamas. But if you know anything about the PNW, it’s rainy – for about six months of the year. And where there is rain, there is mud and muck. The Western Chief Printed Tall Waterproof Rain Boots were my go-to spring, summer, and fall boot. They are budget-friendly and don’t insulate well enough for winter but held up well for eight months of everyday use.

I mostly used these boots for feeding all the animals, getting hay down from the barn loft, and searching the barn for eggs because the chickens refused to lay in their nesting boxes. I like a taller boot for in-pasture jobs and winter use due to the sheer density of mud but these shorter boots did well. They’re waterproof, have a poly-cotton lining, and are pretty comfy too- one of the best Muck boots in this price range, for sure.

It’s time to cut through the mud and the muck. While Arctic Sport boots are winterized to give you a better footing in snowy and icy conditions, they primarily function as a highly water-resistant work boot. From the 100% waterproof rating from calf to toe, to the neoprene interior (which wicks away sweat), you’ll be left out to dry in the best way possible.

One thing to note is the temperature rating. You can use these on light winter days, but don’t go hiking or trekking into negative temperatures with these. The lining doesn’t retain your body heat too well. On top of that, you can feel the creases where the ankle cuff meets the black extension. It’s not terribly inconvenient when you have thermals on, but if you’re dealing with shorter socks, it’s mildly irritating. Despite those character flaws, you’ll be walking on a durable EVA footbed to maintain your stability, which offers excellent support throughout the day. Removable rubber insole for cleaning, excellent traction in slippery conditions, and a one-year warranty on all Muck products.

No more floppy hunting boots. Even when you kick these off, these men’s muck boots are not going to lose their shape. Muck’s Arctic Hunting boot has a 2mm foam lining underfoot for increased warmth, complemented by the soft fleece lining along the interior of the muck boot. The 8mm neoprene material construction of this boot runs the entire length of the hunting boots, keeping you dry and warm while creating stability.

For additional comfort and support for big days while out hunting, the lightweight EVA midsole provides cushioning while the aggressive Bob Tracker outsole provides traction and durability on uneven terrain. These tall boots stand 17 inches tall and feature a pull-on tab at the top for easy entry. They’re perfect for keeping your feet warm in extreme cold while offering exceptional support for long days.

Muck doesn’t just make work boots, they’re also helping you get things done in the garden and around your home so you can get the same original Muck boot company quality even if you aren’t out in the field all day. The Muck Muckster Garden Boots give us a perfect view into Muck’s inexpensive lineup of boots for the average person and part-time mucker. It turns out, you don’t have to auction off your firstborn to get a quality work boot with high-quality features.

These men’s muck boots feature a comfortable footbed that offers excellent support, and a breathable air mesh lining to provide breathability in spring and summer weather. These work wonderfully even in subfreezing temperatures, but it’s when you hit the other end of the thermostat that you run into problems. The upper is waterproof, but when dirt sticks to it, it really sticks to it and makes cleaning a bit of a chore. But muck boots are made for muck, right? With all that aside, you still get excellent shock absorption through the treads and heel, a reinforced toe box, and a durable nylon pull-on loop that makes slipping into these simple as can be.

Muck knocked it out of the park with the Muck Chore Classic Rubber Work Boots. These neoprene boots may be a little off on sizing, but that’s bound to happen sometimes. The Chore boots are more breathable than their full rubber counterparts thanks to the neoprene upper on the calf section of the boot. Don’t fret though, there is still full waterproofing up to the ankle.

Deep treads on the bottom help you conquer stone, dirt, and even snow if you find yourself in a winter cold weather setting. If it’s January and you’re shoveling snow, you’ll be happy to know that these have a neoprene interior. Ultra-soft, sweat-wicking neoprene offers immense comfort, while the air mesh technology keeps everything aerated. No fungal growth, and minimal odor when you kick these off. The only other downside of the Chore is that they can be very heavy on your feet. You can use these as rain boots as well.

Muck is your go-to for keeping your feet warm and supported throughout those snowy months no matter where you live. These Arctic Pro snow boots allow you to trudge through -60 F conditions while retaining heat. With a fleece lining and neoprene interior, heat is retained throughout the calf and down into the EVA midsole. We do recommend a tall sock though as the interior and lip of the boot can rub sensitive skin.

After about two years of use, this cold weather hunting boot is prone to getting a bit worn down, while the other areas of the boot hold up just fine. This might require a bit of DIY, but even so, it doesn’t impede the heat retention capabilities. Fully waterproof, designed to withstand the toughest conditions, and easy to slip on with the nylon pull-on loop, overall these men’s muck boots are perfect for winter snow and hunting. A great snow boot by all accounts.

Do you want to master the muck? Then the MuckMaster Hi-Cut boots that come in a 15” hi-cut design are for you. For one, even though these aren’t designed for winter use, you’ll still feel heat retention in temperatures as low as -20 F. Apart from that, the EVA midsole keeps you plenty supported and mighty comfortable through the messiest of situations and long workdays.

While the neoprene and collar aren’t too comfortable on bare skin, a stall sock is all you need to fix that issue. This entire muck boot is built for choring, mud and muck in any season but deep winter. This is because while pretty warm and comfortable, the boot is not lined with fleece; instead, it sports breathable airmesh lining that will help wick away any sweat or humidity. Perfect for spring, summer and fall, but not ideal for winter. Our handy guide to the best ski boots features more great products like this.

Muck’s Chore lineup – possibly their most successful lineup- is back with some added power. The only downside is you can work in temps up to 95 F in these, but nothing below 40 F. The good news is, this is a nearly year-round work boot in many parts of the country and still excellent for spring, summer, and fall in more wintery conditions. And best of all? It comes with a steel toe that helps protect from any impacts from the front or above, making it perfect for hard work.

With a fully waterproof construction and 4 mm neoprene that provides comfort and flexibility, this is the ultimate outdoorsman boot. The neoprene lining is wafer-thin but still good for wicking away sweat. One of the best aspects of the Chore Steel Toe edition is the Spardura addition in the rubber exterior. These stay flexible for work, but also make it a much easier time when you’re kicking them off at the end of the night. Love these? Check out our review of the top Ariat boots for our top picks.

In the design of their flagship boots, Muck made this CR Flex-Foam boot to emulate what brought them greatness in the first place. CR Flex-Foam is rated to last up to twice as long as rubber, while also providing a working temperature range from subfreezing up to 85 F. That’s a huge range for all-weather conditions and everyday wear.

While you have a soft lining helping you out, the only truly flexible fit comes in the stretch-fit topline. This allows you to slip these on easily, but it doesn’t help when you’re pulling them back off. But can anyone get out of tall muck boots easily? The removable rubber insole and 100% waterproof rating are excellent as well. Don’t forget to also check our guide to the best Chukka boots.

The Muck Arctic Excursion in mid-height comes with a CR Flex-Foam insulation system that accompanies the fleece lining. These may not be the most comfortable, but they’ll certainly help you with any job in any temperature. The non-removable sock liner also helps with the comfortability of the boot.

The real MVP feature of these quality muck boots men and women can both wear is the -40 F temperature rating. They’ll keep you warm as can be, and the rubber insole is removable to let it dry if a bit of snow manages to find its way into your boot from the cuff (they are mid-length, after all). Muck did find the best use for an EVA midsole that we’ve seen yet, because they include custom treads on the bottom that breathe and contour to your foot, while also shaping to the ground. Stellar support, great grip, and a true-to-size fit. Find more great products like this by checking out our guide to the most popular Chelsea boots.
