Probably the best work boot I have ever worn for around the Croft . They are the most expensive pair I have owned, but they are worth every penny. Due to an ankle fusion, I can no longer wear steel toe caps and need to use a plastic/polymer orthotic insert. The size 12 fit perfectly, even with the insert added. I wore them continuously for 8 hours in 22°C (71°F) heat with thick, breathable socks. They are very easy to put on and take off and my feet stayed completely comfortable. My socks were only slightly damp by the end, which was barely noticeable. Highly recommended for comfort and waterproof protection.

Great for walking, work and gardening in all weathers. A great boot thank you.

Men's Apex Zip Ankle Boots

Generous fit at size 12( my feet are wide 12) really well made & easy to slip on & off . Good traction ,which is essential to keep safe in wet & muddy conditions. Used every day for several hours & stay comfortable.

Men's Apex Zip Ankle Boots

2nd pair of these I've bought - first pair lasted about 18 months, but I do use them every day for a minimum of 2 miles walk with the dog, and a lot further when not working... So I think they did OK - I have to say I didn't really look after the first pair too well, didn't often clean them, so that also may have led to them splitting and leaking - But they're so comfortable and easy to put on and take off, I've bought another pair - This time I bought some of MucOffs cleaner too, so with a bit more care, hoping they may last a little longer :-)

Men's Apex Zip Ankle Boots

I walk a lot particularly with my own and rescue dogs so i am always trecking through muck. I bought a man's size 6, as a woman I have broad feet. These boots are a perfect fit, so comfortable and warm and exceptional quality.They look great too. I love them. ❤️

Men's Apex Zip Ankle Boots

I was looking for boots that are easy to put on quickly at the back door for when I need to go outside only briefly, but also something that can be comfortably worn for walking when it's wet and muddy. My Muck Boots fit the bill perfectly. A doddle to slip on, comfortable and warm but sturdy and waterproof - just ideal for what I wanted, I couldn't be happier with them.

Men's Apex Zip Ankle Boots

Bought as a Christmas present for my husband - he loves his boots as they keep his feet dry and warm when walking our dog across the fields!

Men's Apex Zip Ankle Boots

This is my third pair of these boots. Perfect for dog walking....comfy, warm and with good grip. My 'go to' footwear on wet mornings. I shall buy again....

Men's Apex Zip Ankle Boots

Great pair of boots. Easy to put on and off and very comfortable.

Men's Apex Zip Ankle Boots

After 4 pairs of apparently waterproof hiking boots. Decided to spend a bit more, and like it says on the box. Waterproof, and do the job. Big tick for muck boots...

Men's Apex Zip Ankle Boots

Bought these for the second time. I've had the first pair for five years and they're still great except the inside is completely worn but the outside is still good and waterproof.

Men's Apex Zip Ankle Boots

The boots fit really well and are just the right length on the ankle. An arch support internally would be a great addition.

Men's Apex Zip Ankle Boots

I bought my Muck boots for bike packing trips where there was likely to be some muddy pushing and wet sections to deal with. I suffer from cold feet and was really impressed with how warm my boots were. I've now pedalled through snow and sleet and along flooded fields with them and they've kept my feet toasty and dry. I'm very pleased with my purchase .. especially as I got a very good deal on them. Would recommend for off-road cyclists who's priority would be warm and dry feet.

Men's Apex Zip Ankle Boots

A well-made product, ideally suited to walks in the mud and rain

Customer photo review of Men's Apex Zip Ankle Boots

These boots are amazing, I have been walking dogs for years and used to wear hiking boots but these are way better. Very comfortable and well made. I like the red accents think they look cool! Buy a pair now!

Men's Apex Zip Ankle Boots

This is my second pair. I went a size up as they are a tight fit, especially if you wear thick winter socks. So go a size above your normal shoe size for thick socks.

Men's Apex Zip Ankle Boots

Everything works. No leaks. Comfortable Warm. I thought that the ziper just wouldn't last. Two winters later, still watertight, works fine. Great product. Oh, and they look very cool

Men's Apex Zip Ankle Boots

I’m out three times a day, all weathers walking dogs through rough terrain. These are my 3rd pair of muck boots, I wear them constantly, and can’t recommend them enough.

Men's Apex Zip Short Boots

Use them most days to walk the dog at least 5K twice a day. Very comfortable and not too sweaty even over the summer

Men's Apex Zip Short Boots

Good communication, great response time, excellent customer service & quality products

Men's Apex Zip Ankle Boots

I have a pair exactly the same that I purchased about 10 years ago. They have served me well and recently I needed orthotics for my shoes and ordered a larger pair to accommodate my orthotics. They made the trip up to Alaska for a recent fishing trip and worked perfectly!

Men's Apex Zip Ankle Boots

This my 2nd pair of these boots. I own a dog kennel. Im exposed to water both inside thw kwnnel & in nature.Love the ankle height, waterproof & zipper to easly slip on. Duable & keep my feet dry when outside in wet or damp weather.

Men's Apex Zip Ankle Boots

Brilliant boot easy to fit on class for walking the dog down the beach and across the fields comfortable and dry threw all weather thanks guys

Men's Apex Zip Short Boots

I love these boots! Very comfortable, seem to fit true to a size 7 - I am a female, often fall between a women’s UK 7/8 but with men’s shoes, I can mostly comfortably just go with a size 7 and the shoe fits just right. These have a wide toe area which just feels lush and accommodating, the zip up is a quick on and off which I love. They are a little stiff but have worn them just a couple of times so far and I suspect they’ll loosen up in time - same as any other boot. Simply glad I bought them when the price was right.

Looks and feels like it could walk you safely through the apocalypse, which has been a reassuring thought lately.

I feel they are a proper outdoor brand that has thought about all that is needed when exploring out in the wilderness. Comfort, warmth and style are all things that have been considered!

Clean your Muck Boots regularly with tepid water and allow them to air dry naturally. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Applying a rubber conditioner occasionally can help keep the material supple and prevent cracking over time.
How long do Muck Boots last?
With proper care, Muck Boots are designed for long-lasting use. Their lifespan depends on frequency of use and environmental conditions.
