Muck... I have been using them for several yrs and I have never used hand warmer like in my other rubber boots including Lacrosse.... Hunted in the teens for more then 4 hrs at a time in MUCK cold weather hunting boots and didn't have a problem... I'm from FL so these must be good boots...

To the Muck owners....after talking to a fellow TnDeer member today I've decided to look into a pair of Mucks with the side zipper. Overall do they fit snug? Typically on a hunting boot I go 1/2 size larger just wondering how these fit.

I normally take a 9/9.5 in a normal boot pending on the width, I ordered mine in the 9/9.5 sizing and with my usual sock choice they felt a little snug.................but I had the option of removing the in-sole. After wearing them once or twice they actually stretched and fit excellent with my usual socks.

I too want to try the Muck Boots. My only concern would be if they would work well in the mountainous terrain here in East Tennessee. I have a pair of Muck shoes and my feet tend to "slide around" a bit on steep terrain. Can anyone tell me what their experiance has been with Muck Boots and mountains?

Hey DocHtr,
I hunt nearly all high peak terrain in the mountains, usually a minimum of a 2 miles hike from my truck before hunting begins. I spend 9 hrs in my Muck boots last Sunday, up and down steep inclines and I am not much of a sitter, I tend to stand on my watch. No problems at all and definately no sore feet.
The boots tend to fit snug, but don't choke your feet.
