We live on bottom land out here in rural eastern Ontario, and I really appreciate my first pair of Muck Boots (Chore) in the spring when it's wet and, well, mucky here. I needed a new pair of winter boots for working around the homestead, and I thought these looked pretty good. And they are. They are sturdy, waterproof for the slushy days, insulated for the cold spells, and they fit my feet with comfort. The only catch is that the upper edge of the calf is stiff. If I'm working in the bush with the chain saw, I prefer to have my pants leg over the boot, so the saw dust doesn't funnel down to my feet, but that means that the upper forward edge of the boot rubs against my shin, and it's mildly painful - leaves a bit of a scar, in fact. When I'm out with my honey on our snowshoes on the trails, I can tuck my pants leg into the boot and there's no problem, but for chain saw work, I'm thinking I may have to wrap an Ace bandage around my shin.

Delighted I've finally found a great dog walking boot!

Bought it to deal with snowfall here in Greater Boston. High enough to never worry about soaked socks, and water proof to tread in our backyard pond. Loose at the top so hard to run, but I think that's by design. Fairly comfortable for 1 hr+ of outdoor yard work in snow/rain/mud.

Comfortable,warm,indestructible with excellent traction

Perfect for fishing
