User Reviews
I LOVE these boots. They do run large, but considering I got them specifically for the snow, I wear thick warm socks which makes the sizing good. I put them through the test by walking in the woods in the wet and snow as well as road walking around my neighborhood. They are waterproof, as described, and they are pretty cool looking. My feel were also toasty warm the whole time. Love ‘em.
To keep feet warm so far work perfect
Cute and comfortable but not as good at keeping my feet warm as I expected. They appear to be really insulated but that's only the top portion of the boots. I wore with really thick socks and kinda surprised that my feet got pretty cold in 25-degree weather. For Muck brand, I'm just slightly disappointed but will wear them out. I don't plan to buy another pair like these in the future. I have better insulated Muck boots that I'm very happy with and will wear them instead when it's that cold outside and I plan to be outside for an extended period of time.
