I chose these to wear as a quick slip into on bad weather days

I've been wearing Muck boots for 40+ years - the "Best" for the price!! CJS.

I have been through three pairs of mud shoes that look like a Muck boot and the soles always start leaking and wearing out. The Muck Boot cost more, but the soles are substantially thicker and have better traction. I can work outside or go walking in the woods and I don't feel every rock that I step on and I can wash the car without finding water coming in through a crack in the soles. So far, very pleased with the quality of the boot.

I have worn multiple pairs of Mucksters previously and been pleased with them. There is not good traction on the new pair and they are unsafe on smooth surfaces..
