So, flipping thru my new BPS turkey season catalog, on page 69, I see that Muck has come out with a snake boot... $199 (*phew*)... Anybody got a pair & can comment on 'em? I've a 10 year old pair of Muck's, non-snake model, that's ... gettin' old...

After their whole HSUS support fiasco I decided I was through with them. There are plenty of other options out there

never buy another pair of Mucks...
I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

I think if you research the Muck HSUS thing you'll find that it was actually an error made by one of their employees and not the position of the company. MUCK has stated thatand all the evidence would point to that being the truth. I've hunted in Muck bots every since they hit the market and in my opinion they are without a doubt the finest turkey huntin boot ever made,,,my opinion, I did get a new pair of their comfort-tech models but I did not get the snake model. Looking forward to trying them in out in about 10 days.

Yep, they apologized and it seemed like an honest mistake on their part. Y'all can come to your own conclusions but I like their product. Just bought a new pair a couple months ago.

IMO, that was a mistake that a company that depends on outdoorsmen cannot make. They also handled the situation very poorly when the news hit. I had a pair of Mucks that I liked but that was the last pair I'll buy. I'm not going to give anyone associated with the antis a dime if I can help it. As I said before, there are too many options available that are of equal or better quality

I guess y'all flat landers can turkey hunt in mucks. Ain't no way your going into hillbilly land after turkeys wearing mucks unless you got iron feet. I tried it once and had blisters for 2 weeks.

They actually had a snake boot before called Woody Armor, stopped making them and now coming out with the cool version. I've got a pair of the previous ones I'm not a big fan off. They pretty much sit in my garage.

The whole muck thing may or may not have been a mistake; only they really know. As a business owner I will at least say if it was a mistake they should fire their PR dept. They stayed quiet for way too long while they were taking a beating. We all make mistakes and I've made many but you need to man up and own them quickly.
With all that said; wear what you want. I've never had land that I can wear rubber boots turkey hunting. I'm with haybale and Brent; yall can have them. I have found it best to wear a lightweight boot or hiking boot that climbs well:). On topic though; I have thought about trying to look at some snake boots or more comfortable chaps.

I bought a pair several months ago and just now actually started wearing them to break them in for the upcoming season. I love the look of them and all but the calf area of the boot is way too tight for me. It's almost unbearable and I won't be wearing them anymore.
So beware if you have muscular calves.

Maybe they just don't fit the shape of my foot well but I've never understood the love of Mucks. Every pair I've ever had on was uncomfortable as hell.

My dad bought a pair of muck snake boots about 10 years ago, nothing new. Mucks are comfy, but mine only lasted about 3-4 years and the bottom started coming off. Rubber boots are hot and your feet can't breath in them, thats why i don't wsear them anymore.
