Excellent write up - I am a fan of rubber and neoprene boots too - there is simply no comparison with cheap wellingtons - a fact that many fail to grasp

How much are they?

 

[Buckshot]

Just under £100 or so

Excellent write up for an excellent product. I love my Muck Boots and would never go back to wearing anything else. I may take a look at the Arctic Sport as a good winter boot though as I do need an extra pair of thick socks on with mine.

Absolutely worth every penny that they cost you.
Comfortable, and very warm, a truly quality boot.

Stupid me used mine to walk about in concrete while laying it, the boots stood up to the task, but started to rot the neoprene shortly after.
Even so, they still soldiered on for a good few months, after a few repairs with the good old "Black Witch" glue

I love my Avon Muck Boots! Great review and great boots!

I have Tay Sports with the same sole unit. The neoprene gets shredded easily, the rubber is thinly coated and the grip is diabolical on wet rock or chalk, However, they are warm and more importantly comfortable. They are wide fitting on both the foot and calf.

Try the Grub Stalkers next time widu13 - I find the (Vibram) sole much improved over the Muck Boot

Will do bud, I like the idea of the muck boot and the sole is great in ploughed fields but as you know there's a heck of a lot of chalk my way! I think they also do a "standard" sole unit but not on the sport models (extra warm ones).

 

[British Red]

Yep - there's not much between Grubs and Muckboots other than the sole unit (Grubs use Vibram) - they have a slightly different fit too - which suited my feet but clearly may not suit others

Double post sorry

I got a pair of these about a year ago as I could'nt afford the Muck boots http://www.concordextra.com/product/23861/Fishing/FLADEN+OUTDOOR+NEOPRENE+BOOTS+/
excellent boots for the money.

They look very much like my neoprene boots from Aldi.

I got the Rok Dundee at £34.99
After a year of use, Ive just noticed a crack appearing where your toes bend the boot. Buy cheap, buy twice?!
Will look at grubs stalkers, and Aigles parcour iso 2 next.

Nice write up, thanks. I have seen some long haul cattle truckers wearing these and I wondered about them. I grabbed a pair of ''Chore'' Mucks for metal detecting last year. They were a bit pricey but worth the extra cash. I put cushioning insoles inside and I can go for hours in them, dry or wet outside. They seem to be a little fragile though as I got a gouge at the instep. I stepped on a beaver chewed young tree and the spike ripped my boot open. I just grabbed a piece of bicycle inner tube rubber and glued it over the rip. It has stayed water proof.

Had a pair of the Snowline boots from Grub, for Christmas and have to say they are the most comfortable boots I have owned.

I had a pair of High Chore with Vibram sole. Rubbed like hell on right ankle. Pity as they great boots and sole is fantastic.
