Muck Boot
Brand Footwear goes well beyond
simple waterproofing by keeping your feet warm, dry and protected in harsh weather
and messy working conditions.
The secret to Muck Boot
Brand Footwear's effectiveness is the exclusive self-insulating, waterproof CR-Foam shell
construction. The CR-Foam bootie material acts as a neutral medium between inside and outside temperatures. As a result, the foot and
lower leg stay warm and protected in cold and wet conditions. All
this in addition to being lightweight AND comfortable!
The natural-rubber overlays
also serve as a protective skin for the upper bootie that will stay
flexible for years and will not crack in cold weather like your old PVC or
TPR boots! The natural, high abrasion upper is triple reinforced in
the toe area and quadruple reinforced in the heel area--these boots are
built tough!
Excellent Value and a Great Price!
Muck Boot
Brand Footwear from HorseTech
offers great performance, AND excellent value! For just under
$75 (with free shipping) you get a well made boot that should perform well
through two to three seasons under normal seasonal use! Compare that
to many boots that offer fewer features and cost over $100!
How does Muck
Boot
Brand Footwear Compare to
Thinsulate® or Gore-Tex® ?
Thinsulate® (made by Dupont®) is
typically used in work boots and hiking shoes to insulate against cold
weather. Typically, Thinsulate® is laminated to the whole shoe lining
or glued into the toe area of the shoe or boot. Thinsulate® is not
waterproof. Gore-Tex®, on the other hand, is a breathable waterproof
membrane that has little insulating value.
The CR-Foam used in the Muck
Boot
Brand Footwear is both waterproof and self-insulating. We believe that the
materials used in the Muck Boot
Brand Footwear provides superior performance in both
areas, providing excellent insulation AND waterproofing!
Your entire foot is surrounded in warm, dry comfort.

Hi or Mid Cut
We've found that the Tack Hi-Cut
is the most popular model--especially since it is so easy to roll down the
upper. We did find, however, that with some of the smaller sizes, the
mid-cut was preferred. See the sizes we carry in each style in
the sizing section directly above.
Upper Collar
The upper calf and topline
areas are made of soft, flexible CR-Foam that will stretch to fit
virtually any calf comfortably. With the flexible upper, the pant
leg can be worn either inside or outside of the boot. One really
nifty feature is that the collar material can be turned down to allow
hands-free removal and to vent humidity when working conditions turn
warmer.
Thick Socks??
It is not necessary to wear
thick, bulky socks with Muck Boot
Brand Footwear unless activities are planned for
extremely cold conditions. The CR-Foam material is rated to -10° F
and will effectively withstand wind chills of up to -50° F.
Hate Sweaty Feet?
Unlike pack boots, Muck Boot
Brand Footwear does not have an inner felt liner. Felt liners are very hot and can
cause skin irritation with prolonged use. Muck Boot
Brand Footwear is lined
with a thin, moisture-control material that wicks away humidity and
perspiration. The lining can be dried in seconds using a household
blow drier! The lining is both non-abrasive and hypo-allergenic.
Easy Cleaning & Repair!
The natural-rubber shell and
nylon upper are very durable and clean up easily with a spray of water
and/or a gentle scrubbing with soap and water.
The rubber upper can also be
easily repaired with a sealant found in most local hardware stores. We
recommend using Goop brand marine sealant.
