At size 14 it's great to find waterproof boots of any sort, let alone ones as good as these!

Men's Apex Zip Ankle Boots

Would recommend Seem waterproof and well made Though if being picky, I would have liked a little more padding around the ankle but wearing thick socks does help.

Men's Apex Zip Ankle Boots

Being going through 2/3 pair of hiking boots per year between walking and working. Water always gets in over time. Not with my MuckBoots, very comfy to wear 20000 steps per day, forever walking in mud and wet grass, feet always dry!

Men's Apex Zip Ankle Boots

Great boot walk for a living in and around farmland boots are perfect and keeping my feet nice and dry

Customer photo review of Men's Apex Zip Ankle Boots

We as a family now own 7 different pairs of muck boots and are very happy with all of them,I love my zip ones the best very easy to put on very comfortable and have walked miles in them with my dog mine are now 4 year's old and still going strong will definitely buy another pair when this finally die

Men's Apex Zip Ankle Boots

This is my second pair of these books. Some people complain about the zipper, but I got my zipper stuck and used wd-40 and it works good now. Don’t over load the shoes and you will not have a problem. I’m a big believer in these shoes.

Men's Apex Zip Ankle Boots

I bought these after using a different brand for many years. They did take a bit to break in and were super tight around my feet for a good week but now that they are broke in they are super comfortable and keep my feet dry. I would definitely order them again

Men's Apex Zip Short Boots

Ideal for dog walking, washing the car, or anything when you want to keep your feet dry

Men's Apex Zip Short Boots

Comfortable out of the box!! Just what I needed for walking my dog when it's wet and sloppy outside! They fit true to size.

Men's Apex Zip Short Boots

I love these boots! So comfortable and warm and the traction is fantastic!

Men's Apex Zip Short Boots

Third pair over the years so must be good, as they come up on the large size I just get a new insole which also helps with instep support.

Men's Apex Zip Short Boots

Had these for just under a month, so can't advise on longevity yet, but they are comfortable and true to size and are waterproof. I have used on some muddy dog walks and are holding up. I have done a max of 6km in them walking and only after some initial rubbing on the ankle they have eased and happy to walk some distance in them, through woods etc.

Men's Apex Zip Short Boots

Much bettter than my walking boots for 1) taking the dogs out in wet & muddy fields and 2) washing the car - in both cases, my feet stay dry and thus warm. Very pleased!

Men's Apex Zip Short Boots

Really comfortable, great support, completely waterproof, much less clunky than tall wellies! I've always had Hunters but even the Balmorals split after about 6 months. Hoping these will last longer

Men's Apex Zip Short Boots

I was initially hesitant to invest in these muck boots, but my brother convinced me they were worth every penny and he was absolutely right! The fit is perfect, even with thick walking socks, and the comfort is unmatched. Unlike traditional boots, there’s no break-in period; they felt incredible from the very first wear. On the first day, I covered over six miles through muddy fields and towpaths, and these boots handled it all flawlessly. They’re 100% waterproof, incredibly comfortable, and provide excellent grip, even in the sloppiest mud. Cleaning is a breeze, just a quick rinse with a hose, and they’re good as new. I couldn’t be happier with this purchase. These boots have exceeded all my expectations and have become an essential part of my outdoor gear. Highly recommend!

Men's Apex Zip Short Boots

I was a bit hesitant spending this amount of money, but having gone through various leaky, cold sets of boots I gave in, and I'm so glad I did. These boots are VERY comfy, VERY warm, robust yet light, and fit like a glove. They are also very easy to slip on and off. Highly recommended for early morning dog walks in the mud and slush 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Men's Apex Zip Short Boots

Due to poor health have issues with some types of boots. These are so easy to,pull on / off. Comfortable & warm.

Men's Apex Zip Short Boots

Just bought a second pair having just about worn out my first pair. I found them to be toasty warm on winter walks, extremely comfortable and of course, completely waterproof.

Men's Apex Zip Short Boots

If you are planning to wear them with a thick socks, get size bigger.

Men's Apex Zip Short Boots

I have now bought 3 pairs of your boots and will continue to in the future. Very comfortable and durable

Men's Apex Zip Short Boots

My partner has bought hundreds of boots over the years. He works outside in the weather all year round. These boots are fantastic.He raves about them all the time. The first pair he received was a christmas gift two years ago, and we have just now had to buy a new pair.

Men's Apex Zip Short Boots

My first pair lasted about three years of daily stable yard and land tasks. They split over the toes so I decided to replace with the same. They are pretty expensive but work well and easy on / off.

Men's Apex Zip Short Boots

Can't wait for the wet season again. Easy to clean after a walk.

Men's Apex Zip Short Boots

I wanted a pair of dog walking boots and these really fit the bill, they’re very sturdy, instantly comfortable and best of all totally waterproof. They are on the pricey side but sometimes you get what you pay for and these boots are top notch, just what I needed and wanted so worth treating myself!

Men's Apex Zip Short Boots

Excellent fit, look and performance; already tested with a 2 hour walk in monsoon conditions and deep puddles, my boots were perfect!

It's nice to walk my labrador through damp meadow grass and have dry feet
