Muck boot problem......

[HeltorChasca]

I'm on my 2nd pair of Tays and in my honest opinion (despite previous glowing references) I think they are totally overated wellies and will be looking at other boots in the future.

In all fairness I do a lot of mileage as they are for work, play and dog walking. With both pairs the lugs have worn down to almost icy slipperyness (a word?) but worst of all the neoprene, right by my heel has worn through to hard plastic rendering them unwearable and painfull. Not much of a repair you can do either.

Forget Muck boots unless you are a "low frequency wearer". When it really starts to hurt I call them something else.

Anyone got any better recommendations for wellies? Warmish but not too toasty as I'm a "hot blood" and vicious lugs as my feet take me over muddy, slippery terrain?

(Cripes I hope this isn't a bit of a hijack. Sorry OP)

Grubs Stalkers - similar design but with a full Vibram sole. Mine are five years or so in and going strong

i like the muck boots, warm, comfy etc, i'm not a high user, fishing and a wet dog walk is the only time i'll wear them really so i expect them to last a fair old while.

Mine arrive on Monday thanks to your recommendation Red, shame they will have missed the snow down here but there seems to have been a problem with the suppliers.

Yes - Thanks Red. My old Mucks might just get wanged in favour of the Grubs. Perfect for the Mendips................hc

I'd suggest that you consult an osteopath. Used to have a similar issue - not the same - and my right foot has always turned outwards a little.
Saw an ostepoapth cos of sciatica, they did manipulations over several weeks, no sciatica, right foot much more in line. Whole of my back and right leg had been on a twist.

Not a problem for much longer as Muck Boots are having problems with UK distribution, they are being replaced by Grubs.
