My son-in-law has an IBA Dairy supplies route, so, after deer hunting with me a few years ago, and then watching me cut wood with my farm work boots, he gave me a pair of Muck’s for Christmas. I have ice fished, cut wood, posted during deer hunting, shoveled snow & done just about everything outside in weather from -35 degrees to 75 degrees in complete comfort. I can drive my manual transmission vehicles with ease, walk on uneven slopes without feeling strained, and I have NEVER been close to cold. Mine are not the Artics, they are just the basic Muck Boot for farm chores. They are a great choice in my book!
