I'm in need of a new pair of rubber boots this year. Comfort is priority one...good arch and ankle support, etc.
The problem I find most is fit at the calf. I'm a big guy with big calfs and most are just too tight...especially when you want to put your pant leg in them.
Does Muck have a boot with a wide top? I've seen some of their boots and they are really small at the top.
Recommendations please?

Re: Rubber Boots
Muck boots are made with neoprene tops which stretch...I love mine

Re: Rubber Boots
One word, MUCK! IMO, you won't find anything better.

Re: Rubber Boots
Bought some Muck Woody Max boots. Surprisingly comfortable with a good fit when you roll the top down and then up over your pant leg. Will get out in the slop and give em a try today.

Re: Rubber Boots
Muck boots are great. I wear them now and find them to be light and comfortable. I did find them to be a little tight at the calf but I started wearing long, thin dress socks (under my normal weight sock) and pulling them above the boot line. This has worked out really well and I have no more issues. Also, the boot top can be folded down rather easily and still be worn comfortably under pants or chaps.
Re: Rubber Boots
may want to look at some lacross boots, they are all rubber, a little more comfortable than mucks imo. varies with the individual though. both lacross and muck have good names, try them on and see which ones you like.

Re: Rubber Boots
I have a pair of the lacrosses that are just like the Muck. They are adjustable in the calf. I have had mine 3 years, they now have a whole in them and I will be buying another just like them. They are about$70-$90 depending on how thick neoprene you want.
Re: Rubber Boots
I have both the muck and lacrosse boots. The muck is the most comfortable, but the lacrosse is a tuffer boot as far as briars and such goes. My feet sweat more in the muck. I really like them both though. Cant go wrong with either.

Re: Rubber Boots
I like the Muck brand rubber boot the best of anything that I have tried. I have very large calves and they stretch enough at the top to remain comfortable.
