Customer photo review of Women's Apex Zip Ankle Boots

I am so glad I shelled out for these boots. They are super comfortable- unlike other short wellies they don’t shift around on my feet. I like the ankle hugging and the secure feeling that I am not going to turn my ankle. They are so easy to get on and off and they look stylish. Worth the money.

Women's Apex Zip Ankle Boots

I have 6 pairs of muck boots. I love that they have a zip rather than laces. The colours are soft but dark. My new favourite style of boot for dog walking.

Women's Apex Zip Ankle Boots

I am so pleased with my Apex Muckboots! They are super comfortable and fit perfectly. They do not move about on my feet like other wellies have always done. I feel safe from turning my ankle. I am very glad to have them. They are not “wellies”, they are another superior beast altogether.

Women's Apex Zip Ankle Boots

Bought these for work and they are absolutely amazing. Super comfortable for wearing all day

Women's Apex Zip Ankle Boots

I've never paid as much for a pair of boots, but I walk my dogs every day in all kinds of weather and terrain so I reckoned they were worth it when I considered cost per wear. These are comfortable (so comfortable!), quick to put on and all terrain! They are everything I need them to be.

Women's Apex Zip Ankle Boots

Great Boots wish I’d discovered them years ago. So comfortable. The best thing I’ve put on my feet to dog walk in years x 5*

Women's Apex Zip Ankle Boots

I love these boots. They are my third pair and I've done loads of walking in them They are more comfortable than my walking boots! This time they seem to be just a bit narrower than last year so they are a tighter fitting. I'm a size 6 and a half and I ordered a 6 that fits very well. Room for a thick sock.

Women's Apex Zip Ankle Boots

Perfect boot for long dog walks in wet and muddy conditions. Very comfortable and easy to get on and off.

Women's Apex Zip Ankle Boots

Perfect fit for my usual size Well made Looks good for wellies ! These are a second pair of muck boots i have purchased as i am so impressed with my first pair Would definitely recommend

Women's Apex Zip Ankle Boots

I absolutely love these boots I have had mine just over 2 years and they are only now starting to split from wear at the front which im so sad about and will try and repair some how. These shoes are very comfy and 100% waterpoof I have worn them every day for years for my job which involves me being outside in all weathers and walking alot. Really highly recommend.

Women's Apex Zip Ankle Boots

Just love these boots for walking the dogs every morning. No laces just an easy zip

Women's Apex Zip Ankle Boots

Needed a good pair of waterproof, easy on, easy off, comfortable, good grip boots for wet/winter dog walking. A considered purchase but well pleased and impressed with these boots 😊

Women's Apex Zip Ankle Boots

I’m about to buy my 3rd pair of Apex Ankle boots, they really are a game changer for winter as I wear them for work as a dog walker. Only downside is I usually only get 1 year/18 mths at a push out of a pair as the rubber perishes and comes apart at the heel on the outside.

Women's Apex Zip Ankle Boots

This is my third pair of muck boots so I am hoping to have them for as long as the others lasted

Women's Apex Zip Ankle Boots

I like the comfort they give. No heavy wellie boots required for what i need. They are perfect for me .

Women's Apex Zip Ankle Boots

Two years ago I should have bought these but thought they were too expensive. I walk my dog a lot and I am a footpath officer for my area. I needed support and comfort and was fed up of constantly tying laces which would always come undone at least once on a walk. I tried other options but nothing was comfortable and then the price was reduced and I bought them and so love them. They are perfect for me with fit, comfort and support.

Women's Apex Zip Ankle Boots

bought after lots of ankle surgery i needed an easy get on boot, initially selected these for use at the ponies but may need a second pair for work or gardening as literally could stand in them all day

Women's Apex Zip Ankle Boots

I have arthritis in both feet. With the padding they are comfortable. I walk 3/4 hrs a day in all weathers with my dogs perfect for me.

Women's Apex Zip Ankle Boots

Takes a few days to break in. My second pair of Muck Boots, they are amazing, warm and full waterproof.

Women's Apex Zip Ankle Boots

I am very pleased with these boots. I was surprised by how light they felt on my feet yet they’re really sturdy. Easy to put on and take off. Holds up well to mucking through my heavy wet clay yard while I’m digging new planting beds. Would be good for hiking or fishing trips to the river. I highly recommend these boots.

Women's Apex Zip Ankle Boots

Exactly as expected; perfect barn boot, rain boot or anytime boot. Relaxed fit, easy on off

Women's Apex Zip Ankle Boots

Great winter boot. These are fantastic boots for cold weather - they keep your feet warm and dry.

Women's Apex Zip Ankle Boots

I got these as a Christmas gift for my wife last year and she loves them. We get a lot of rain in this area so she wanted some waterproof boots that are comfortable and that don't look like old fashioned ugly rubber galoshes. I did some searching and found these. My wife says they are extremely comfortable, keep her feet perfectly dry in even the deepest of puddles, and she says they look cute. She also likes that they have good traction on wet grass and muddy surfaces.

Women's Apex Zip Ankle Boots

These boots are great. This is the second pair I've bought. They are my work boots/farm boots through the rainy season. I love the zipper/velcro design for easy on/off. They're warm and comfortable, and very waterproof. After 2 years of constant hard use, the heel joint area cracked but the rest of the boot stayed waterproof. I liked them so much I ordered another pair, and my roommate bought some too. Great boot.

Women's Apex Zip Ankle Boots

I’ve only had these for about a month, but so far I’ve found them to be comfortable to walk my dog in. They are also easy to put on.

Women's Apex Zip Ankle Boots

Perfect for dog walking in the wet and surprisingly light weight! The zip front makes it super easy, the internal shaping for the foot is good (usually struggle as have wide, flat feet, with bunions)! I had MuckBoot wellies for 5 years and wanted a change to an ankle height boot, that had good support and grip - these are perfect.

Women's Apex Zip Ankle Boots

These are my go to boots for dog walking. I have two pairs, one for the beach and one for muddy walks. They’re not cheap, but value for money as I’ve had one pair for over 4 years and still going strong.

Women's Apex Zip Ankle Boots

Love these boots, which is why I’ve bought 3 pairs over the last few years, one criticism is they only really last 18 months, before leaking either splitting from the sole or roxund the front. I have bought another pair because they are seriously the best most comfortable pair of boots for dog walks and mountain walks…. Just wished they lasted longer.

Women's Apex Zip Ankle Boots

Have worn traditional Muck boots for years so thought I'd try the ankle boots for a change and love them! They are warm, comfortable and keep water out, everything I need when out dog walking!

Customer photo review of Women's Apex Zip Ankle Boots

I wholeheartedly recommend Mucky boots for anyone looking for a reliable and comfortable footwear option, especially for outdoor activities like dog walking or working on various terrains. When I first got my pair, I noticed that the ankle fit was a bit snug, but once I got used to it, I found the boots to be incredibly supportive. These boots excel on rocky terrain, providing excellent grip and stability, which gives me the confidence to tackle challenging paths. They keep my feet warm and dry, thanks to their waterproof feature, making them perfect for any weather condition. I genuinely feel like I could hike a mountain in these without any discomfort. Additionally, they are surprisingly lightweight, which is a huge plus for long walks. Overall, I can confidently say that these are the best boots I've ever purchased. If you're in the market for robust, comfortable, and dependable footwear, look no further than Mucky boots!

Women's Apex Zip Ankle Boots

Great boots ideal for seasons where you don’t need the longer muck boots , would highly recommend , very comfortable

Women's Apex Zip Short Boots

Such a comfortable pair of boots. I use them for walking the dog over different terrains, and they really couldn't be better. It's nice to have a pair of ankle boots that are guaranteed to keep my feet dry if the ground is wet, but don't feel cumbersome like many others I've had. This is my second pair of Muck boots and I'm hooked. They're well worth the money.
