Muck Upland Boot

I bought a pair of the lace up Muck uplanders recently. I have only worn them on one afternoon of hunting. When I first put them on, I thought they might be too heavy or not provide enough ankle support. However, they worked great. It was about fourteen degrees and the terrain was frozen and very uneven. The best feedback I can give is that I did not even think about my feet all afternoon.

I have a pair of the "wetlands". I love them but they are a bit warm for upland hunting most days. Darn comfortable in a cold duck blind or ice fishing. I am going to get a pair of the uplands soon. My only other complaint as they seem to hang up in thick grass more than my pronghorns. Heel slippage has not been an issue for me and they seem reasonably durable.
 
I have the wetlands model and found them too hot but very comfortable. I bought the uplander so that all the sweat from my lower leg would not contribute to the heat overall. The uplander was an improvement. However, it is still very warm and obviously does not breath. It is still comfortable but the fit is just a little different than the wetlands model. I bought the same size as my wetlands and sometimes wish I would have the opportunity to try one size larger. For weather below freezing, the Uplanders are great. If it gets much warmer I expect all mucks to be too warm for my comfort.
 
I agree w the above. They are great but get hot and make your feet sweat when it becomes sweatshirt warm out. Mine have got soggy from sweat.

I'm a guide/dog trainer and hunt 5 + hours daily 7 days a week. This season I've blown out filson uplanders (leak and tear), danner upland gtx (leak), and cabelas kangaroo upland (tore apart and leaked).

Tho all of the manufacturers of the above boots I noted have made good and replaced their product or given me a refund.

Now I swap out the danners and the muck boots depending on conditions. Seems to be working out good so far.

Ill give $1000 for an all around WATERPROOF and tough CRP grass smashing boot if someone can make it.

Until then....
 
I have used the wetland Muck boot through five seasons of hog, deer,and bird hunting in Ga and one season, well a couple of weeks, in Nebraska year before last. They are still useable though I've patched some holes the briars put in them. Shoe goo works pretty well. I also learned that corn stubble will cut them too. That in NE. Just bought a new pair for last year and they are still in the box, waiting for my next opportunity, when I get well. Doubt you will ever find a more comfortable boot. They can be hot but don't leak without you punching a hole! Easy to get on and off too and good soles. Abit on the heavy side too.
