For all my fishing I use those Muckboot Scrub,shorties,..warm ,comfy ,easy to slip on and off ..

But my god the soles ,have no grip virtually in very wet weather,and where you walk the crease across the boot tends to split long before it's time,I'm on my third pair,when time come,going to get some Rovex or Navitas lites..

My Muck boots Artic sport.. Used them for the first time a couple of days ago, it was about 4 degrees and my feet were really cold, I can't work out what I am doing wrong..
Thick merino socks and mostly just sitting still.
Not sure what to try now :0(

Whatever you do don't get Grubs boots. 5 walks and the sole starts coming away from the upper.
Grubs won't entertain any form of warranty as I can't provide proof of purchase.
Steer clear.

Hi,
I suspect its the thick socks. if they are tight you are not helping the circulation of warm blood from the rest of your body getting to your feet.

Try lighter socks, take the thick ones as a backup to put on

I still use my old Skeetex for really cold conditions, never been cold in those for sitting about even with normal socks.

I hope they are not a tight fit ? I found over the years unless your doing a lot of walking in them its best to get a size bigger as if they are roomy they will be warmer
tight footwear = cold feet IMO

If they are good enough for Ranulph Fiennes in the Arctic, they are good enough for me in the Colne Valley

Definitely try thinner socks
I suffer from bad circulation in my hands and feet and always used to struggle in the cold
I was then recommended some Baffin trappers on here, When I first got them I too used thick socks and still had cold feet, I then tried some 2 season socks and it completely changed things, they are now a looser fit and no more cold feet

I found the same with these boots , bought a size larger so as to getplenty of air round my toes , merino wool socks and still cold feet

Maybe try disposable foot warmers.
On the rare occasion that my feet are freezing but I don't want to
Get in the bag I use those.

Saves on a heavy massive boot when frankly it's just my toes.

Not a tight fit... I'll try thinner socks though, let you know if that works, I hate having cold feet. :0(

As so many people have said, walk to your swim in walking boots, then when you get there change into other boots.
Your feet get cold after sweating and your socks soaking it up. This then gets very cold.
Wear socks that insulate even when wet.


I walk to the swim in Nitehawk combat boots, and then change into my 'sitting' boots.
If you want decent boots, look at the Jack Pyke Tundra Boots, or Free Soldier Fishing Boots.

There was a comment or 2 earlier in the thread about Muck boots splitting. Sadly after they were bought by Honeywell, they moved production to China and quality has dropped.

I believe that is true about the muckboots being of inferior quality now. My old tay muck boots have served me well for many years but the soles have finally wore out through daily dog walks and i am now slipping about in the muddy fields

i originally looked for another pair of muckboots but after reading reviews have been put off and now have no idea what to get to replace them, i ideally need a welly type boot as have to walk through deep puddles and plenty of grip for muddy fields

NOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Don't do it!!
Mine were great at first, after 5 short walks they started leaking. The upper was coming away from the sole.
Shocking.
