Advantages: Thermal, waterproof, reinforced toe, durable

Disadvantages: can be slippy in wet mud, hard to make them look clean

I was bought a pair of these 2 years ago, and my pair are still going strong. I wear them around the yard horse riding in the winter a few times a week and absolutely love them. While everyone else is complaining about their freezing feet and boots with holes in them I have my muck boots that arn't only incredibly waterproof they're also extremly warm.

With these, I wear a pair of regular socks and this keeps my feet toasty warm in conditions as bad as -3 (or there abouts). I haven't been able to find colder conditions than that but I'm sure that two pairs of regular socks past that wouldn't be a problem.

I really do reccommend these boots, they're not heavy when you walk in them like the Just Toggs version of this boot and was actually quite shocked at how much worse that version of the boot was when I tried them on for the day. A relative of mine bought the Just Togg's muck boot version and hers lasted one winter (They split and styarted leaking in water! They were also heavy and she complained of cold feed despite wearing thick socks.

I wouldn't buy any other version of this boot, costing at around £45 they are quite expensive for basically a welly boot but these are so much better. They will last you year after year in all conditions, they're completely waterproof (even the neoprene at the top of the boot is waterproof) the toe is reinforced (I feel safer in this than a steel cap toe and a 500kg horse (which was wearing metal shoes) has trodden on me in these boots and they didn't split nor did I feel the pressure of his foot on me.

The only thing I'd say about these boots is that it's hard to make them look completely clean and I'm generally scrubbing at them quite a lot. Also the grip on the bottom of these boots arn't the best, which can be dangerous as I've nearly slipped straight over leading two excitable horses.

Great boot, be careful in slippy muddy conditions.

Summary: Really good
