Title: muck boot users
Post by: lee_dewing on October 13, 2016, 08:23:55 pm

Hello as title.

Anyone use muck boots for work?

Are they ok for the occasional use on ladders?

Was looking at these.

Thanks Lee

I wear mine every day at work, they're a great quality boot.
I was up and down the ladder all today on a gutter clean and no problems with feet sliding off rungs etc.

Sorry Lee I don't know what model they are as I bought them in a local farm supplies shop off the shelf, I'll have a look on their site to see if I can find them.
As tlwcs says, they are a bit on the heavy side but make up for it in keeping your feet warm and dry especially over the winter months although I wear mine most of the year.

How do you guys work with bricks on your feet. They don't breath either.
You might as well were wellys, with thick socks on

 ;D Hi Tony.

You've got a good memory.

I opted for the beelay jacket in the end and it's great.

Funny you saying that I just bought a special 6 shirt, sports  warehouse, listed on buffalo's stockists list £118.

I wore it Thursday really like it but I was too warm.

Plan to wear 6 shirt on days when were in single digit temperature's.

Love the map pocket great for wallet, cloths etc.

Only thing I use a b.o.b with squeegee occasionally and feels weird with belt and squeegee around waist over outside of special 6.

But that's why I got it as it covers backside 😃 no updraughts' getting into lower back.

Thanks for your help Tony.

Thanks Windy Miller.

Don't worry if you can't find them.

They have those ones I linked in earlier post also found they have men's work range.

Will probably pip for those have mid calf, lower cut ones.

Currently wearing timberland copycat boots by Dunlop feet starting to feel chilly.

Occasionally use back pack over van system and forever pouring water over boots when filling😁

£118 sports warehouse, listed on buffalo's site.

Paid less than £100 for beelay jacket as so last season😁

New beelay jackets have coloured zips.
