Just got a deal on some rated to -50 windrivers (although the temp ratings are improvable) these boots look great for the waterproofing feature and streamlined simplicity. Thanks for the review Ben, looks great.

I agree I had a pair in the camo but the legs are much tighter on those for some reason then the brown ones. The brown ones weren't available for the same price so I returned them and got Cabela boots. But next year I'm getting the Brown Arctic Pro. They are the most comfortable boots I ever put on my feet. I did use them all through deer hunting. GREAT boots.

Good video, reaffirms my choice. Just got these in the mail today. Very nice walking around inside and trying on with various socks. Tip that helps me: always wear a tight liner sock under other socks. It drastically increases comfort and prevents blisters. I can't believe I just started doing this this year. It's a game changer. In fall, I wear two pairs of liner socks instead of 1 pair of mid-weight socks. Also, a boot dryer is key to boot longevity and lack of odor. Just throw any boots you wear out on the dryer that evening. Makes a huge difference.

Muck Arctic Pros are what I've used for the past 3 years. I was calves deep in a freezing creek in the 20's just last week and I was good. I use them on every hunt. I just got a pair of ActicShield boot covers for those times that I've had to remain still while on hunts. Other than that, Carhartt Arctic wool socks were the norm, but I'm moving to Darn Tough socks from now on. I just picked up a pair of RedHead hunting boots for warmer days and a lot of trekking & scouting. But I'm going to get a pair of Arctic Pros in full camo too. As for sizing on the Mucks, I would suggest sizing up 1/2 or a full size to accommodate for the use of thicker wool socks and I always take a pair of camp shoes (slip on boots) for just hanging around the campfire to allow for the Mucks to air out and not be my only-use boots.

I just bought Muck Arctic Pro for working outside in the winter at a local winery. We are pruning now , and there is standing water all over. Hoping these work good in standing water , and keep my feet warm. I have been using Muck Wetland and those do not keep my feet warm even in temps of the 30’s. .

Been wearing muck boots for years and love them. They do make your feet sweat though. Recommend a boot dryer especially if you wear them every day. Also slick on the bottom when new. Be careful on a wet or frosted back porch. I put new ones on and scuff them on pavement pretty good.

I wear my Arctic Muck Boots 12 to 14 hours a day for about 6 months out of the year. Here in Wyoming it's frequently 10, 20, 30 below zero.

For the Mickey Mouse comment I saw in the comment section, I wore Arctic Mickey Mouse boots can the army, and I'll take my mucks over those any day.

pro tip: roll/fold the tops down and you can put them on and take them off hands free and it prevents your pants from bunching when you tuck them in because you just fold the boot back up. I'm on my second pair of arctic pros, they are awesome.

These boots are way to expensive for their expected lifespan. I don't know anyone at work (we all wear rubber boots all day everyday) that uses mucks, and if they do, its usually a new guy who quickly learns that they don't last long, especially when worn everyday. Everyone I know and work with wears Lacrosse brand boots, and I know guys there who have worn the same pair every single day for over 8 years that have never cracked or leaked. You will never see an 8 year old muck boot that isn't leaking or the sole falling right off it. If you want to look pretty walking through the woods 2 or 3 times a year, buy Mucks. If you want to wear those boots everyday, for 11 hours a day standing in sewage water doing pipe work and not buy new boots every 6 months, buy Lacrosse's, and I have found that Muck's are even more expensive than Lacrosse's. Just my .02

Finally found the comment I was looking for. I try to use mine in the winter in North Dakota and if it’s not the cold that gets to my feet it’s the snow that melts and soaks my feet with muck boots. Had 2 new pairs last winter and both leak fully from ether splitting by the toe from where it bends or the soles come off. I’m trying to search for a better option and finally found one.
