Anyone have any experience with these boots?
Ditching the Muck boots and going with something warmer and hopefully better quality. Muck has lost me as a customer since I’ve had my second pair come apart.

Really? I love my muck boots and they seem to hold up great - I guess I get lucky sometimes.

Second pair that the sole separated from the boot at the toe….

The Muck boots definitely don't hold up like they used to. I have had issues with them as well. I still like them as they are comfortable and easy on and off. J, no experience with the Lacrosse boots. Good luck.

I think lacrosse bought out muck boots. Lacrosse you to lose the soles on them. Now mucks did for a couple years after buying them out. I currently have 5 pair between me and the boys w no problems. We use them trust me. No rubber boot is warm in stupid cold weather. You might want a snow pak boot unless you’re looking for wet wear.

We wear the wetlands which is 5mm. I’ve bought Roger’s article that are 7mm for less than a 100$.

I’ve used the Lacrosse boots and would get about 3-4 seasons out of them. I wore them for deer drives and kicking brush during rabbit season. I also bought a couple pairs of Rocky boots when in Nelsonville. Very good boots….i got a pair that had a side zipper and used them when going into manholes when I worked for the phone company….very easy on/off. Zippers were good as I never got any water in them while working for hours in water/mud that was calf deep.

Never owned any Muck products. I hear they have knock offs at Costco/Sams for $40. My best boots for sitting are Lacrosse Ice Man series. Rated at -100 or something like that. I have 2 pairs still holding up after almost 40 years. Wore both this deer season.

First pair of Mucks lasted 10 years, that’s deer and rabbit hunting. If you remember I hit rabbit season a lot back in the day.
Second pair I bought the year we moved down here. Wore them roughly 15-20 days deer hunting a season until last year when they started coming apart like the first pair.
I have a third pair that have been worn roughly 30 days alternating between the other pair. They’re still holding up.
I’m pretty much stand deer hunting anymore. So warmth and comfort is the flavor of the day.

Second year on the Lacrosse 1000g boots, anything higher in g's and they get too warm for me. I've rotated between Itasca, Muck, and Lacrosse and always seem to return to Lacrosse. When they wear out for me it's usually where the toes flex.
