Do you guys have any recommendations for tall, waterproof, work boots, that I'll be working in muddy fields with? My friend got Muck brand boots that got a leak in them after a month of use. Is that just a fluke, or are there better options?

pic related are cool
This. Me mum bought me a pair for Christmas. I take them trout fishing in shallow streams.
Yes
Dryshod boots are decent,
I have the Dryshod arctic boots and they’ve held up well
How long have you had them for? Do they even get used much?
Picrel are my Dryshod NOSHO Gusset XTs. At the time this was taken, I was using them to wade a hidden creek full of brook trout in the middle of nowhere in Jefferson National Forest. I then hiked around five miles partially uphill in them, waded another creek, then hiked five miles back to where we had our vehicle.
Feet stay dry, they stay warm, they still look practically like new after many uses despite walking miles and miles through thorny, scratchy scrub and undergrowth.
>work boots
I'm a locksmith, working mostly industrial installation, so in my work I don't really get muddy, my work shies are the second from the keft, composite toe and nail protection.
That being said Aigle has been the first pair of rubber boots that actually fit me to where you aren't just constantly looking forward to taking them off, I have both the neoprene lined winter model and the un-lined summer model
fricking have a nice day homosexual 6 boot threads on the first page of the board and you post this shit
Raided
Now's our time bootfrens
bootfrens assemble
/thread
PrepHole is healing.
Lol having multiple boot threads has never bothered me, but six is a bit much.
Same with knife threads.
Pisses me off when there are multiple threads about a person tho.
More like seven including this one lmao

I'm sure that someone will say that I'm full of shit, but I have had these for a couple of years now, and put who knows how many miles on them... and they show zero signs of any serious wear, haven't leaked, and haven't hurt my feet. I use them for general outdoor stuff where most would choose a hiking boot(because it rains so much here and I have to cross shallow creeks.) I originally though that due to the price, they would be a disposable pair that I rebuy each year, but so far I haven't had to. I read tons of bad reviews on much more expensive boots and that's why I ended up trying these. Worst case scenario you lose $20. they run about a whole size big though

I second these, they are my fave outdoor footwear and they seem to make weekend warriors annoyed which is even better. It's been mud central where I live this winter and then huge puddles when it thaws and these have been awesome and ticks have a terrible time trying to climb on them.
Wellingtons? Maybe? Idk. Alaskans would know.
I have been using the redwing injex for a couple of years now and enjoy them
i use muckboots every day at work in muddy farm fields. I think they are pretty good. Im a 9.5 and i like wearing 10-11s so they are easier to slip off.
Mucks are not work boots.
They can survive a little mud but that's it.
I work as a fieldhand on a Gulf Coast Rice farm and everyone and their dog down here has LaCrosse.
To be fair i have a pair of mucks for light duty and work outside of fields because they are far and away more comfortable
>I work as a fieldhand on a Gulf Coast Rice farm
Do you ever invite people there and tell them "Welcome to the rice fields"?
I have those same lacrosses. Its a lot harder to walk in those compared to the mucks but they last a lot longer. You do get used to the feeling of low ankle support after a while. If you have bad stability, go for the mucks and just be prepared to constantly replace them
Those look like $9 Chinese boots. Very disrespectful.
Did you get these at Walmart?
I recommend you post in one of the many threads, homosexual.
Why are there so many fricking boot threads?
I do backcountry work in AK and I’ve used both mucks and xtratuffs. I love my mucks so much that I got an insulated pair for the winter as well. Xtra tuffs are a total meme unless you work on the boat. Lots of AK people wear them for everything but they have virtually no ankle support and they will fricking shread your socks. RIP my gov issued smart wool socks 🙁
Muck boots fall apart in less than a year. Sole rips off because of bad glue. Get ones without a separate sole. Lacrosse grange are good. Whether you get those or another brand, still be really careful about puncturing them through sticks. All mud boots puncture really easily. You can use sealant glue made for wetsuits to seal holes in rubber or neoprene boots

That's why I buy the high-end, extra-tall, insulated Dryshods. Mucks became popular and then went to shit. I kick sticks, trees, and rocks in my Dryshods all day and nothing happens because they're armored. I walk through water and mud and nothing happens because they're waterproof. I walk over ice and snow and nothing happens because they're insulated and you can layer wool socks + liners in them for subzero conditions.
I've learned that you really can't tell PrepHole anything, but one or two people might get the picture. You're all always bragging about being rich and buying $1,000 plastic tents, what's $200?
i'm an underground miner (muddy, shit conditions) and we use these at work

>using a pair of dickies from 2019 that are still going strong after years of abuse.
This is all you need.

>steel toe plate
More like -t full of shit fatass stack of flapjacks. Walking 5+ miles with a toe plate even occasionally (let alone daily, which I've done in steel toes) sucks ass, even on flatland, even after you get used to toe plates, and even with high-quality steel toe socks.
It's literally my life, bud. Get tough or die.
So normal wool socks?
if someone had the balls to make it, i will shitpost in it.
It's nu-out, so no one will make it.
I wear muck boots very often for work. I like them, but depending on how hard you're working they can become very wet inside very fast. Not because of water leaking in, they're quite waterproof, but because of sweat. Even with wool socks my feet end up soaked after just a few hours of hiking, chainsawing, etc. Maybe I need wool insoles as well.
If the water isn't in large puddles I usually just wear my goretex lined danners. Those breathe much better. And are more comfortable as well.
I should add, I didn't pay for them. The county I work for supplies our rain gear. So the whole public works department wears mucks, including the parks department, which I work for.
Behold, finnish quality! The main choice of every finnish farmer mucking around in the clay laden earth of pohjanmaa.
I use 8inch lowas with gaiters keeps out everything unless I go swimming and I can wear shorts with them so im comfy
we need a regulatory body to control neets like you for when you're /out
while wearing boot
I hate posting in gear spam threads but I've actually been looking for gumboots, except I'm in the Eurozone. Anyone got suggestions? I have no fricking clue.
