The Original MuckBoots Adult Arctic Sport Boot Reviews

The Original MuckBoots Adult Arctic Sport Boot 
I have frostbitten my feet a few times and they get wicked cold in the winter. These boots keep my toes and calves toasty warm and dry. They are light weight, which is great for snowshoeing and mucking about!

The Original MuckBoots Adult Arctic Sport Boot Awesome comfort.
Rain or snow, these boots have been serving me well for a year now. Bought them for my first winter in Minneapolis and they were keeping my feet warm even at 0F (-16C). They've served me just as well during the spring and fall in Portland, even when it gets a bit warmer. Absolutely wonderful for their intended purpose, and I get complimented on the purple fairly often as a plus :)

The Original MuckBoots Adult Arctic Sport Boot warm and leakproof.
Just perfect for winter hunting. Very warm, leakproof, durable (based on the first season). Looking for a second pair for another family member and for a type for warmer weather in the mud.

Muck Boots Adult Arctic Sport Boot Great Boot.
I purchased these boots for my husband for the very cold PA winters. I searched for reviews on the fitting of this boot. i guess women are a little more descriptive in reviews than men, so i am letting other wives know these boots fit true to size with room enough to wear heavy socks if needed. My husband just wears ankle socks with his and his feet stay dry and warm. highly recommended and my husband says these are the most comfortable boots he has ever worn. . Great for plowing snow, shoveling cow manure or working out on a rainy day.

Muck Boots Adult Arctic Sport Boot Very happy with these boots - great for snow!!
Though I love winter, my hands, feet and ears are generally miserable. I experimented with a variety of boots, including Uggs, Ugg knock-offs, lined rain boots, etc.

I wore these boots in snow today for the first time and was very impressed. I walked through Central Park (in New York City), which was *VERY* icy and didn't fall once. Though I felt the icy conditions and *almost* slipped, the boots held a solid grip on the ground. Had I been wearing Uggs or similar boots, I would've fallen at lease 5-6 times FOR SURE, and ended up with scraped knees, pain, etc.

I intentionally walked on the snow to see how the boots would fare, and they performed beautifully. My feet remained warm and dry.

The challenge with these boots is sizing. I'm normally size 8.5 in women's shoes and ordered a size 9. However, size 9 feels loose, even with thick socks. This could be due to the "unisex" nature of the boots. Size 9 is equivalent to men's size 8, and I suspect the boots run a bit wider than regular women's shoes.

Since I ordered them online without actually trying them on beforehand, I'm not sure whether these are the optimal size for me. However, I decided to keep them, figuring that I can always wear double socks to fill in the gaps.

Also, the boots felt a bit heavy, but it could be that I'm not accustomed to them yet. Regardless, I'm willing to be a little uncomfortable in order to keep my footsies toasty and happy.

This company has an "Arctic PRO" model too, which is supposed to be even warmer than these (rated for -60 degrees vs. -40).

If you're looking for a warm sturdy boot that you can wear in deep snow, don't think twice about buying these boots or the "Pro" model. If possible though, try them on for size at a local "bricks and mortar" store.

Muck Boots Adult Arctic Sport Boot works as advertised.
I purchased these boots for a trip to Antarctica. To test them I wore them outdoors at night for an hour or so while doing astrophotography in 25F and waded through a 40F stream for several minutes. My feet were warm and dry the entire time.

Boots were easy on and off, plus one size did seem to fit all as I have a wide foot. The fit was very comfortable but supportive.

Bring on the snow!

Muck Boots Awesome investment!
This is an awesome boot! I have only owned them for about a month now, so I haven't gotten to truly see their capabilities, but I have been very pleased with what I have seen. Muck is a little more expensive than other brands, but I think it is well worth the investment. I live in a city where winters are frequently below zero degrees Fahrenheit and have yet to be disappointed. These boots keep your feet warm without causing them to sweat, it is just a comfortable feeling of warmth. My only complaint is that I wear a women's size 7, which I think is the smallest size they come in, but overall shape of the boot feels like it is designed more for a man's ankle and calf. It is still a nice fit, but just a little more loose in some areas that I would prefer a tighter fit. Other than that, I have seen no issues with them so far.

Muck Boots Good solid boots and no slipping.
My family now owns two pairs of these boots. We primarily wear them when working with our horses to protect us from the mud and muck. They are warm, at least in temperatures in the 20s.

I note that one reviewer online indicates these boots are prone to slip under certain conditions. We've worn them in very slick, wet mud with no problems. I've also worn mine to help clean a basement with a painted concrete floor after a sump pump failure. I walked all over on the concrete and up and down painted wooden stairs that were wet. I could not get the boots to slip. I have to assume this other person either has boots with a different tread than this style or they used the boots on a fairly unique surface that most of us won't encounter.

Muck Boots for extreme conditions.
I have had my Arctic Sports since 2005 and spent 4 Summer seasons in Antarctica, 5 seasons in the Arctic working in salt (28 - 30F) and fresh water conditions while walking on Ice, snow, mud, tundra or rocky beaches. Since 1979 I have looked for and gone through a number of brands and styles to keep my feet warm and dry which was a challenge until finding these boots.

The boots have met all conditions with great satisfaction. As the boots have aged the only negative I can find with these boots is that on any surface that is hard snow pack or glare ice the lug soles are not that effective in keeping you upright, but what boot or shoe will. I have been in temperatures as low as -30F for hours at a time and my feet are toasty and dry. Eventually I will have to buy another pair of Muck Boots.

Muck Boots Great.
Purchased these for my oldest son who didn't have a pair. Heading to Antarctica and these were the recommended boots. Keep feet dry, warm and great traction in the snow. Needed the waterproof aspects since we get in and out of zodiacs in the water. Kids love them even home in the midwest.

Muck Boots Love them.
I ordered a pair of these outdoor boots for my son. he just loves them. they are very warm and water proof. I am happy to have found them on Amazon. Thank you all!!!
