Hi,

I've seen lots of reccomendations for muck boots on here and I was just wondering if they are waterprfoof? I have bad circulation so I need some boots that are warm and dry.

Thanks in advance.

yep, they are waterproof, warm and totally brilliant! (am a rather evangelical convert after spending the first part of the winter with dead cold white feet - got the tay sport and they are too fab for words - warm dry feet through -20 temps!!).
 
Yes. But unless they have changed them in the last few years I wouldn't recommend!

I had 2 pairs in one winter and both cracked behind the heel. Exactly the same happened to 3 of my friends!
 
They're wonderfully warm and waterproof - I use the riding versions in winter and can't rave enough about them! Their only drawback is that they are too warm when the weather gets milder, and make my feet too sweaty, so I change to muckers in summer! Mine have done two winters so far, both for yard work and riding, with four horses. so they're worth the initial cost..
 
Yup. Highly recommended. Beware your feet can get sweaty in them though and it looks like they leak. Close fitting rubber that's well lined to keep the heat in... Used to ride in mine alot too.
 
Ah, yes, they do split :( Mine lasted one season, as did D1's.

Have decided to buy Dubarrys. They cost more(!!), but the Muckboots were about £70, so three years :). The Dubarrys will (should!) go on much longer, and can be worn in town without looking too out of place :D

I rode in mine. Very supportive :D. So much so that I didn't realise I had an ankle problem until I went back to short boots and chaps :rolleyes:
 
I've had three pairs - all leaked and split within months. My husband also had a pair that leaked and developed a split after wearing them for the third time. Will never buy them again!
 
I have the Avon ones, they are so warm and lovely to walk in, they are a bit warm in milder weather, but a god send in the snow and ice we had last year, brilliant sole on them, my husband was slipping everywhere in the ice but I wasn't to would recommned.

I did have the riding ones but I have fluid retention on my right ankle so cos the rubber goes a bit further up on those they weren't suitable

I had a pair of Derwent which lasted few years

I have ridden in both the welly type just for speed in the winter in the school and they are fine
 
I usually get two winters out of mine and I wear them everyday and ride in them. I always buy the Tyne, have never had cold feet and when our yard floods they cope with days of wading through foot deep water without leaking. I think they are fab!
 
I live in mine from September to May! My first pair are still useable, they are the Tyne ones. This is their seventh year and they are still waterproof. Last year I treated myself to some Derwents (for better grip) and I love them too. I am completely evangelical about them too, I love having warm dry feet!
 
Yes indeed they are, my riding ones have lasted for four years now and are just beginning to perish a bit. They often go around the heel because people use the spur rests to pull their boots off with - I worked in a tack shop and this was a common problem, they thought they WERE to pull boots off with - NO! They are for resting your spurs on!!
 
I had mine for 7 years! Love them, my only gripe is that they are a little bulky but the riding ones are better! I fancied a changed so bought a pair of Windermere's this year - a girl I know bought a pair of Dubarry's which lasted 7 months :eek: a bit of a rip of for over £200 methinks!
 
I love the Tynes for use in the Winter, since I discovered Muckboots I've never had cold feet in the winter. However, I've had 2 pairs and each pair has only lasted me for one winter before cracking at the widest part of the foot (at the by the ball on the base of the big toe if that makes sense). Both pairs went in exactly the same way. (Never had any problems with the heels as other have mentioned above) I do need a new pair for this winter, but feel that, much as I love the boots, £70 plus quid for just 2/3 months wear is not a good investment.
 
Hmmmm, i'm not sure to buy them or not now if some of you have found they've split of leaked. I might have to go for a plan B now! I just want some boots to wear for the yard that will keep my feet warm and dry.

Unfortunatly I my budget can't streach to Dubarry's :0(

On another note, i've been noticing that some things don't seem to be as well made as they used to when they came out. I got a Mountain Horse jacket last year and I couldn't belive how badly made it was. My other Mountain horse jaket has lasted me years. OK i'm rambling now!

I've tried the muckboots (split), Moutain Horse Rimfrosts (split), but last year (Oct) bought some Toggi version of the Dubarrys and they are GREAT! Still waterproof, and when cleaned look as new!

They were £100 ish.

My muckboots (2 pairs in one winter) split, and my MH rinfrosts split on both feet after 3 months!

I too am going to look at the Toggi version of Dubarny. I hate Dubarrys as everyone has them.
