Women's Women's Hale Boot

I love all the Muck boots. But.. this is the first pair that dug into my Achilles tendon so badly I had to wear crocs for a week and ice every night. I got my usual size, the foot was comfortable, but not the back of the heel. Not sure if I got a defective pair.

A very well made boot that my wife absolutely loves. Imagine that, a well made product that has great style.

The boots run small so I needed a bigger size. I used to tuck my pants into my boots when cleaning stalls and taking out hay but now cannot because everything sticks to the upper fabric. I liked the design of my former boots but the company discontinued them.

Just tried these out yesterday and I thought for sure I’d have a wet foot when I pulled my foot out of calf deep swampy mud/water but my feet, socks and pants were dry! My only issues are: 1) the fit around my calves are tight-ish. Fine with leggings but when I wear my outdoor, camping pants they are tight and I can’t comfortably tuck them into the boot. 2) there is too much room around the ankle. I tried to put on an extra pair of socks but they don’t fit into the tighter fitting calf area of the boot. Haven’t tried yet with ankle socks, this might work. These boots are also on the warm side, not summer boots. I was out in 15 degree celsius and felt a bit warm in them, but I was moving around quite a bit. For reference I wear a size 7 shoe, ordered a size 7 boot, and had plenty of room. My calves measure just under 14 inches around. All in all they are a nice boot and I found them comfortable enough wearing them for approximately 12,000 steps that day through some very rough muddy/ swampy terrain.

I have worn my original Muck boots out walking hundreds of miles in them. When sadly they sprung a leak I wanted to replace them. This was the closest thing I could see and I am very disappointed. My old ones hugged my foot and ankle feeling like a second skin. These are clunky, heavy, and boxy. After only 2 miles through a wet field my shins, hips, and feet hurt and my feet were sliding around in the shoe. So disappointed that the original boot that was like a riding boot is no longer available.

I am a big fan of this brand, and have had longevity out of the product. I bought two pairs of the hale type one year ago. They have split open. The treads on these boots really attract the muck. It’s impossible to get the dirt out of the treads. They are extremely slippery on ice or snow.

I bought these boots last September and both shoes began to leak in the same exact places. The rubber came apart on the same places on both shoes so I figured it was a flaw with the shoe and tried to reach out to muck boot twice and never got any response. They where my first pair of muck boots I had bought online. I loved all the other muck boots I have bought in stores in the past.

It s very comfortable, its flexible, and light weight. But it built up moisture when I wore it all day in the rain.

A seam split on my old Pajars so I started reading reviews of possible replacements. I’d narrowed it down to Hunter Field Balmorals and Le Chameau when I came across reviews for Muck boots that panned Hunters and claimed Mucks were the best. These were by people who worked in barns a lot. My other rain boots are a pair of Aigle Parcours that I’ve had for about twelve years. They’re comfortable, still waterproof and easy to get on and off but they bunch a bit just above the ankles and the colour is fading. The Pajars I was replacing had neoprene on the leg part and so did the Muck Hales. That and the good reviews were the deciding factors. I’ve had them for a little over a month now, have worn them in heavy rain, on city sidewalks, through puddles in the alleys and on trails in the park. I got my usual size and find them roomy and comfortable. They’re warmer than my Pajars were and than my Aigles. I’m happy enough with them so far that, as the temperature drops, I’m considering getting a pair of the Muck lined ones with Arctic Grip soles to wear in the winter. I don’t expect any of these kind of boots to perform well on slippery ice - I’ve got crampons for that - or in -30 C but, with a pair of good socks, they might be warm enough most days in the winter.

I’m a professional dog walk in the PNW where it rains, a lot! I wanted a pair or waterproof, comfortable boots for rainy days. These seemed to be it. However I write this from the forest where I’ve just slipped in the mud for the second time in one walk. So far the complete lack of traction these boots provide has sprained my thumb and ripped my favourite yoga pants. I’ve slipped at least once every time I’ve worn them. The fabric portion is also not waterproof so my legs get wet in heavy downpours. I assumed it as neoprene but whatever it is it’s not waterproof. They are comfortable but probably best suited for city dog walks.
